Final Cut Studio: Kernel Panic with Kona 3 cards on Mac Pro
Symptoms
If your Mac Pro has Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard and a Kona 3 PCI Express (PCIe) card, a kernel panic may occur in some unsupported PCIe slot configurations. Specifically, this may occur if the PCIe slot hosting the Kona 3 card is configured as an x1 lane slot.
Products Affected
Final Cut Studio
Resolution
Install the Kona 3 card in a PCIe slot that is configured as an x4 lane slot, not an x1 lane slot.
