Random Kernel Panics

[culpinnis]

Hi,

I do not if this is related to the boot loader, but my machine keeps crashing on any OS X Version higher than Lion. It is very stable an does not crash in Lion, but in Mavericks and Yosemite. It is very annoying...The Mac Pro crashes very often at startup or after sleeping.
Here two shots of the panics at startup:

While crashing sometimes a red led on the logic board (or two) is lightening:

They indicate a hardware crash of the cpu?

First I thought that it is a hardware issue. But I ran the machine with less ram and different graphics card and it still keeps crashing. It was even checked by the dealer which sold me the mac. It seems that the machine does not crash with lower OS X versions (can not get it to freeze).
There are no logs about the panics which seems strange to me.
Is there any possibility to identify the origin of the problem? The mac keeps crashing on a clean install.

Here are the specs of the machine, thanks a lot!

I do not know if this is related to the problem, but I updated the boot.efi to the lastest version and it is better now. Bevor I had around 2 panics a day, after the update only 2 a week. If my machine crashes, it restart itself, which is a new behavior (before the update it completely froze without restart).

Hi guys,

first, I want to thank you all, and esspecially Piker for the work you do, it's awsome!

Today I installed El Capitan on my MacPro 1,1 which was running Mavericks before. To install, I used a newer Macbook Pro with Firewire to install El Cap to the MacPro System disk. Than I replaced the boot.efi in the /usr/standalone/i386 and /System/Library/CoreServices/ directories and blessed the drive, booted up and it works!! Awsome so far. Problem is, that now I get rendom Kernel Panics after the mac has been up for some time, sometimes a few minutes, sometimes an hour...

I don't really understand what the crash reports tell me, but I compared them, and as far as I understand, the process that causes the errors has been a different one each time, and the error is cpu related.
There were no such errors running Mavericks via the SFOTT Install, so I don't think it's a "real" hardware issue. Maybe the old CPUs are not correctly supported by El Cap??

EDIT: Another forum post suggested that the Kernel panic pointed to a memory problem. So I played around with my Memory modules. I have 2 2Gb DDR2 FB-DIMM 667MHz Modules, which were both installed on the top riser. Taking one of the modules out resulted in the mac crashing seconds after the boot and successfull login.
So now I put the modules back as they were, both on the top riser card and the old behaviour is back with the Mac crashing after some time, at least some Minutes I can use to troubleshoot...

EDIT2: I also found out that I can "trigger" the kernel panic by simply starting many random programs, so I guess it's caused when the CPU trys to access certain areas in the RAM...

I'm quite a noob with kernel and stuff, but I'd like to help, so if there's something I can do, please let me know!!

The Machine is a MacPro 1,1
2 Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2,66GHz (the factory ones, didn't switch them)
4Gb RAM and a ATI Radeon HD 5770 (flashed I suppose, as there is no Boot Screen displayed...)

Please see the reports attached

Hello there,
I have the same problem since the beginning of my trials when the official El Capitan were available.
Restart after a minute or two. I was using the boot.fi 3.0 and also the latest one 3.1.
Now I writing this answer with ElCapitan 10.11.1 without any problem so far (15 mins), I haven't any issues and of course not panic restarts. What I did? I am using the original boot.efi from pike and I don't understand that at all. I hope that I am not loosing something more specific using the old boot.efi and I hope that Pike will see where is the problem with our machines.
Thank you in advance and thanks Pike and the rest of the group who made this thing possible.
Nicholas

Hi guys, same here! Random kernel panics on a Mac Pro 1.1 2006 (updated to 2.1 with 2 X5365) it used to work before but my HD died so I've to use a new one and with this version of the bootloader (3.1) I'm getting this kernel panics... nsotiriou could you share the previous version so I can check if it is a version problem? Many thanks guys for the hard work! This is awesome!

BTW I'm running "El Capitan" 10.11.3 15D21
