Upgraded to lion in hopes of fixing my PS3 BT Remote, that failed.

Fresh install of Lion on formatted drive, installing remote buddy and rebooting gets a kernel panic on boot. Have to boot using install disk and remove the offending iospirit ktext

Without ktext I cant use BT remotes :(

Any thoughts?

Thanks for asking.

When I previously asked you about your Mac model and OS version, you answered

 
Does this mean your machine isn't actually a Mac?

Since I haven't received any other reports of kernel panics - and both the driver version 1.18.1 and Lion are out for some time now - this could very well be a problem of using OS X on a non-Apple machine. Provided, of course, that you're in fact running OS X on non-Mac hardware.

Best regards,

I'm getting the exact same panic, and in my case we're definitely talking about a hackintosh (no need to be shy!). deleting the RBIOKitHelper kext resolved the panic, and so far I don't appear to need the driver for anything I was using RB for (I use a real Apple IR sensor and remote). I don't know if you consider the hackintosh community customers you can really support, so I don't expect you to come running with a resolution. I assume the variables involved make it a lot more difficult, though I know RB gets recommended a lot within hackintosh communities. anyway, just so you know, this appears to be reproducible and recent.

for those having the same issue - the only thing i could remotely trace it to was upgrading the bootloader to tonymac's chimera 1.5, i can't think of anything else that changed between the last successful boot and the panic.
