#Avid mbox 2 pro Patch#
I really hope it's possible to fix this through a patch or firmware update.
#Avid mbox 2 pro pro#
It should be stated that I have been using this mbox for many years on a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and I have never experienced this issue.
#Avid mbox 2 pro drivers#
This very much points to a voltage issue of some kind, however I'm not sure whether its the mini and Mavericks or the mbox and its drivers that are causing it.

I initially discovered theses crashes before I had changed the OS's energy savings settings, so when the mini awoke and the mbox lights finished initialising the OS crashed. I have looked through all the other duc threads regarding this issue (mbox's + Mavericks + crashing + not working), but in my case I'm running the mbox directly through the firewire port and not a TB adaptor.

I have manually uninstalled the Mbox drivers, that Avid states is supported for Mavericks, and reinstalled the latest Mbox 2 pro 10.3.3 drivers and the problem persists. After the reboot mbox and hard drives are functioning fine and I'm able to work until I have to disconnect the hard drive. However, whenever I connect the Mbox or connect or disconnect a hard drive through daisy-chaining the OS crashes. I have tried connecting and disconnecting (hotswapping) hard drives and other FW devices through the mini's FW800 and everything is working as it should i.e. The OS shows a picture that looks like a Kernel Panic and then reboots.

However, I'm experiencing some nasty OS crashes that forces the mini to instantly reboot. Sound plays fine and PT's runs without a hitch. The system is optimised according to Avid's guidelines and the system is set to never sleep. I'm running PT 10.3.8 using my bus-powered Mbox 2 Pro that is connected to the mini's FW800 port through a FW400->FW800 cable. I just got a new Mac mini6,2 and it was born with 10.9 Mavericks.
