Kernelpanic
Yesterday was the first time I saw a Kernel Panic on Mac OSX.
I wanted to play "The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo" which I had ripped from a CD to my Notebook a long time ago and now transferred from my backup HD.
So I selected the 12 tracks in the folder and double-clicked to open, expecting it would launch iTunes and create a Playlist, or something like that. What I didn't realize was that the tracks were .ogg files, not mp3s (I had ripped them with Rythmbox). Apparently, Google Chrome is the application of choice to play ogg files on my system.
So Chrome popped up, opening 12 new tabs, in each one starting a track, all at the same time.
When closing the tabs, suddenly all the chaotic sound got stuck in a loop and a grey window appeared that I never saw before:
Kernel Panic
Reboot was uneventful and my uptime was already gone with the 10.6.8 update yesterday. I had DiskUtility check for errors though. Luckily, no problems.
