Ok...wait a minute here...have you been running DiskWarrior from the Firewire drives? I don't know if that is a factor here, but it might be. I've never done that - only from one internal drive to another, or (much more commonly) from the DiskWarrior CD.

The cd is so long to boot...from Alsoft:

 If you have another drive (such as an external FireWire drive or an iPod with FireWire) you could install Mac OS X (the version which came with your computer or higher, at least Mac OS X 10.3.9) on that drive and then start from it. Install DiskWarrior on that drive’s “Utilities” folder, (which is inside the “Applications” folder) and run DiskWarrior from there.

What sort of results do you get if you test the internal drives when booted from the DW CD? And which version of DW are you using - I'm afraid at this point, I've forgotten.

I'm using 4.0..maybe should upgrade to 4.1 ?

Also - back to that Motu card; which one are you using? I've seen reports (VersionTracker etc.) that the PCI 324 card is problematic - one person reported persistent kernel panics and finally upgraded to the 424 card and has had no issues since. So...could be that it's the card. Can you take the card out for a while and see how things go? If your problems disappear, I think you will have your answer.


I had removed all the card  before  i posted yersteday(motu and firewire) ...and gonna go to some more testing.. sweatingbullets.gif

As to the System Profiler report: It seems the driver you have is probably OK.  You could try updating on one partition and run from it for a while. Just don't clone to your backup until you determine if it is running without problems.


If you can't seem to come to any conclusions with all this testing then just wait until you actually have a problem with running the computer. Ignore what DW says.

If and when you have a real problem then take note of what is running, what externals you have connected and what the crash reports say. Wish there was a better answer. dntknw.gif

Just wanna get sure that all the back ups i've done are good and not corrupted....Paranoid.gif
 the re install of all the things was a real pain....

Have not done all the testing but untill now (have disable spolight for all the drives, maybe that was part of the problem whith DW ? ) it seems ok   , hope it gonna last whistling.gif

Gonna put back one at a time ,the Motu , firewire card and ram  and see what happens

Thanks for all the replys...it helps beeing not too wacko.gif
