iPhoto Freeze after messing with system definition

[accountmac]

I made the mistake of changing my system definition which led to an immediate kernel panic upon startup. I fixed it by reinstalling mavericks and all was well except when iPhoto is launched, it freezes the whole system (no spinning beach ball, cannot even move mouse). iMovie works without any issues. I haven't run into the freeze elsewhere. The console log is as follows (I took a photo because when restarted, those entries aren't recorded in the console.)



Has anyone run into this or have any suggestions? I've tried rebuilding the library. The permissions appear to be correct.

One of the mdworker deny file-read-data entries did show up after restarting the full report is as follows:

Did you delete the iPhoto prefs file? Try this:

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4301

 

[accountmac]

I moved all of the related preferences to another folder. Now when I start iPhoto I get a verbose kernel panic (pictured below). Any other advice?

 

[accountmac]

I've tried a safe boot and iPhoto opens without a kernel panic. Another thing I've tried is completely deleting iPhoto, its preference files etc and reinstalling. Same result. I don't know what else was changed when I changed my system definition back and forth. It's odd that even other iLife apps work without a hitch. Does anyone have experience transitioning to Aperture from iPhoto? Should I just do that?

Using a graphics orientated application you need to sure that your system is configured correctly both in the BIOS and /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist. As you are using the 770 in org.chameleon.Boot.Plist you need to set IGPEnabler to No and in your BIOS you need to set Init First Display to PCI and disable the onboard Intel Graphics. Press F10 save and exit. Restart. Test.

The BIOS was set correctly to PCI but IGPEnabler was set to "Yes." I did as you said and changed it to "No." Now it works perfectly. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

No problem. Happy to help. Enjoy.
