Mavericks How To Change Host Controller Driver

I have a 2009 iMac that I just upgraded to 10.9 OSX Mavericks and after migrating my old software over, my computer is having random kernel panics within 5 minutes of being booted up. Can anyone find any clues in the panic log below?

UPDATE: Just a quick update for anyone else who has this problem. The iMac was taken to the Apple store where they misdiagnosed the problem as a hard drive issue. After the hard drive was replaced, when I got home, the machine continued to crash just as it had before. I'm now going back to the Apple store.

The Intel HaXM team is testing an update to support newly released OSes. SDK manager version 3 and it froze on my AVD (x86 CPU using HOST GPU). The 'Hi-Speed USB Host Controller' is the part of the computer that enables the use of USB 2.0. USB 2.0 offers a huge speed advantage over USB 1.0/1.1, upgrading transfer speed from 12 mbps to 480 mbps.

Device driver pack for Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for the Windows Small Business Server 2008 operating system. This driver is also compatible with the following products: Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver.

PROBLEM SOLVED: It was simply some 3rd party software that was conflicting with OSX Mavericks, even though my mac was still crashing in Safe Mode. See the answer below for more information. Since the Mac still crashed in Safe Mode, within seconds of it starting up, I was unable to uninstall the 3rd party software. So, I had to take the machine to the Apple store, where they used some special equipment to keep it the Mac alive while they uninstalled the software, and it worked!!!

First, try starting the machine in Safe Mode to re-confirm that this is a third party software issue and not related to hardware:

  1. Shut down your Mac and wait 10 seconds.
  2. Press the power button.
  3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.
    You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
  4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).

To leave safe mode, restart the computer normally without holding down any keys during startup.

If it works fine in Safe Mode without issues, then you could try uninstalling some potential culprits seen in the log. The backtrace in your log shows the application firewall crashing. The key suspects in this case, based on what was loaded most recently, are the following:

  1. com.speedbit.driver.vadriver 1.0.8

    • Uninstall the Speedbit Video Accelerator for Mac from your system and see if it helps.
  2. com.seagate.driver.PowSecLeafDriver_10_5 5.2.3 and com.seagate.driver.PowSecDriverCore 5.2.3

    • Uninstall any Seagate Diagnostics Tool that you may have and see if it helps.

This is hardly a hard disk issue; From the kernel panic, it seems the TCP stack is to blame, with no packet control block. The suspect is the firewall module, so what you might want to do is tell the Apple Store folk to disable the built in firewall NKE (Network Kernel Extension)

I had a similar issue, however I could boot in to safe mode and nothing crashed. However, if I'm not in safe mode crashing in 5 minutes.

This would happen even on the login screen if I waited for 5 minutes. This was before any user was logged.

I took my Mac Mini to the Apple Store and they were stumped. They showed me how to roll back to 10.8 via Time Machine and it's stable.

I've been uninstalling software, upgrading apps, and running any disk optimization tools.

I haven't tried to re-install Mavericks yet to see if anything has changed but I'm not hopeful.

I had the same problem after installing this Video Accelerator App (which is more of a malware to me) and solved it following these steps:

  1. Reboot your computer, click on the icon of VA on the menu bar and select: Video Accelerator off.
  2. Open Terminal, run su and type your root password.
  3. Run cd /System/Library/Extensions, then rm -rf VADriver.kext
  4. Reboot your computer and use the App uninstaller to remove it from your Mac completely.

I think it is the MAC Family Tree 7.0.3 which is causing the problem.

The 'Hi-Speed USB Host Controller' is the part of the computer that enables the use of USB 2.0. USB 2.0 offers a huge speed advantage over USB 1.0/1.1, upgrading transfer speed from 12 mbps to 480 mbps. Without the Hi-Speed USB Host Controller installed, a computer will only be able to transfer data at USB 1.0/1.1 speeds even if the ports are USB 2.0. Some hardware device drivers are found via a manufacturer's website, but USB 2.0 drivers are included in Windows Update, which makes them very easy to upgrade.

Downloading a Hi-Speed USB Host Controller

Step 1

Open the 'Start' menu and right click on 'My Computer' (you may also right click on the 'My Computer' icon if it is on your desktop). Click on the 'Hardware' tab, then click the 'Device Manager' button.

Step 2

Scroll down near the bottom of the list and open up 'Universal Serial Bus controllers.' Right click on one of your USB 1.0/1.1 devices and select 'Update Driver.' Windows should find and install any USB 2.0 drivers for your system.

If the previous step does not work, make sure your USB 2.0 devices are properly plugged in and then start 'Windows Update.' Choose the 'Express Install' option and then download any updates that are found. If your system is missing USB 2.0 drivers, they should be included in the list of downloaded files.
