Bluetooth

[maxt]

Trying to synchronize my palm 515 with my ibook (500, os x.2.1), using palm desktop 4, a bluetooth card in the palm and a D-link bluetooth USB adapter in the mac. The problem: I can pair the two ok in the bluetooth settings but when I try to syncronize my mac freezes with a message on the screen telling me to restart by pressing the start button (this in 3-4 languages). I read that other have had no problems under previous os x (before 10.2) to make this work- is there a flaw in 10.2 ?

Whoa, that's pretty bad that the Bluetooth sync could be causing a kernel panic. Find this file on your hard drive:

/Library/Logs/panic.log

...and post its contents here. It just contains some logged info about what made the kernel get so confused. Maybe someone will be able to concoct a fix (or at least a proper bug report) based on the log.

Ok- here is what I find in the panic.log file in library/logs (i.e not found in the library/logs in users- where I find a crash report for finder with descriptions of different "threads"). If somebody understands this please let me know.

This line is the most interesting:

com.apple.iokit.IOBluetoothSerialManager(1.0fc3)@0x115ff000

It looks like the bug is in Apple's Bluetooth drivers. Hopefully they'll get it sorted out soon.

I've had similar problems with the sambafs kernel module.

I had a similar problem when I was pairing up my T68i to the Mac. But after a few tries, they paired up nicely and the problem went away. But today, Address Book behaved a little weird though... hmmm....
