Kernel panic on MacOS 10.7.1

[scottwh]

Summary: the Mac transfers the primary display to a connected DVI display. Mouse is working. Mac crashes with a kernel panic after about 5s. Reproducible. Possibly associated with Ethernet over USB.

Details:

I'm using a Toshiba U10. A Samsung T240 DVI display is plugged in to the U10. At the first crash, no other device was attached (although two unused USB cables were attached). At the second crash, a keyboard and mouse were attached. Ethernet was not attached.

No devices were attached to the Mac. "About this Mac" describes it as "17-inch, Mid 2010" with 2.66GHz i7, 8GB RAM.

The crash report (below) refers to com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEthernet in the stack trace. Is there a way to disable Ethernet over USB to verify this?

I followed the instructions in this thread and downloaded Ethernet over USB drivers from here. So far it seems to working - definitely confirms that the problem is not with the Displaylink drivers.
