kextcache quit

Tried searching for this, but I got an error.

I HAD a Pismo Powerbook with OS 10.4.11. It had two partitions--one for OS X and one for OS 9. I had a HP scanner that only ran on OS 9. I also had Norton Firewall 3.1.

So . . . upgrade to MacBook: 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. OS 9 not supported on Intel processor, so I dumped--I thought--the Norton and the HP software. All other software I had worked for both or I upgraded. I am still on OS 10.4.11.

When I boot, I will get this crash report:

The application kextcache quit unexpectedly.

Best,

Did you CCC parts of the system from your Pismo?
Looks like there is some uncompatible 3rd party extension in your system.
 
Did do that.

P.S. Further crash report--as in details--it is a particularly obscure dialect of Hittite to me. . . .

Carbon copy cloner between different architectures is crying for errors.
Kernel extensions can be procesor family dependent.

In this case, (at least) com.apple.framework.IOKit was copied from the PPC and this is not something your Mac likes. Download and install the latest correct architecture system combo update and install that on your system (even if you already are running that). That should fix the wrong kexts.
 
*Scratches head*

Well . . . I am not sure I understand that. IF you mean it is because I just transferred over the PPC OS--10.4 to 10.4.11--to the Intel Mac, I neglected to mention that I installed 10.4 from an Intel installation disc. I have also installed all of the updates. However, I assume some of the programs--*cough* *cough* Norton--have residuals that do not like the Intel. I found only two programs that were PPC only and tried to completely delete them.

However, I will try to do what you suggest anyways. Glad I got a deal on a 500 Gig external hard drive!

"Oh you have Norton? You idiot."

Yeah, that is what I feared. The crash was just that--you get a "crash report"--and nothing "bad" seems to happen.

Of course the Norton Uninstaller . . . did . . . not . . . work--OMFG!!!111!Eleventy!

After searching HERE and reading a few thread, I hand deleted everything--even searched though for "sym" files and the like. I found a few other "sym" titled files . . . but I am not sure they are related to Norton:

SymAppKitAdditions
SymAppKitAdditions.framework
SymBase
SymBase.framework
Click to expand...

I did what you suggested--downloaded the Combo-Update--clicked restart . . . and . . . so far . . . no crash report.
