MacOS – MacBook pro boot Kernel panic no kext summary

kernelkernel-panicmacmacos

Yesterday my Mac crashed and after trying to turn it on again I recieved a message like this:

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff800667b0b2): "VM page 0xffffff800ad5fad0 should not have an error\n"@SourceCache/xnu/xnu-2422.1.72/osfmk/vm/vm_kern.c:457

System uptime in nanoseconds: 0

And I know there is a similar post and a good answer to that.

I can't access Recovery HD. When I try to do it by hitting Cmd–R or Alt while booting, Mac freezes and does nothing except generating a lot of heat around CPU. I can only turn it on, do nothing and wait for the kernel message above.

What can I do?

I'd advise you to boot your Mac from the system DVD and check the internal disk. The coincidence of kext scan failing and the recovery HD unreachable let me diagnose a major disk (and not just filesystem) trouble. The CPU overheating might be a consequence of a fool's fsck.

If you don't have a system DVD to boot your Mac (which is the case since Lion), I advise you to ask a colleague who have the exact same MacOS X version to build you one.
