Hi,
Actually the subject should be changed to Symantec AniVirus and kernel
panics.
I played somewhat with my Norton AntiVirus and compiling/installing
various fink packages. I can reproduce the kernel panics quite well in
the meantime: just switch on the automatic scanning in the auto-protect
preferences and you will get sooner than later a kernel panic.
Switching the automatic scanning off, no kernel panic whatsoever. (The
automatic repair I have switched off.) I haven't been able to track it
down which Symantec kernel module causes the problems, but the guys at
Symantec can work on that. I will submit a bug report to them.
Thanks for your feedback. The Norton FileSaver seems not to cause any
troubles. I have it running since about 3 days without seeing any
kernel panics.
Cheers,
Remi
