Sophos crashes but no answer from support :( - any ideas where to look?

DavidMurray

Hi All

Not able to run Sophos, edition I get through work which is a standalone edition or the home edition. Installed both many times but no luck and same issue. Cleared out all areas that I know of prior to reinstall.

It appears to crash in thread 6 as below and is constant. Daemon starts then crashes. It started around August 24 and it was about this time where I removed bootcamp and reinstalled bootcamp with Windows 10 and resized the mac partition larger than it was previously.

Is there anywhere I can clear config info?

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

    I sort of solved it but it isn't permanent.

    When I looked at SophosConfigD crash report in Console application (in utilities) I see a thread crashing as below.

    So what I did was fire up Winclone (as I have a bootcamp partition) and started winclone which I guess touches the MBR, The errors stop. onsidering I was getting crashes  every 10 secs on the system this was positive.

    So Sophos is now running fine.  However, if I restart the mac Sophos starts crashing again.

    So for me, it has something to do with Sophos not liking the partition table by the looks of it.

    Check you console and Sophos crash reports to see if this is the same issue.
