Kernal panic in New MBP 2.4

[poke4christ]

I just got this MBP Monday and today I've had 3 kernel panic. Each time, all I was doing was surfing. Also, it's only happened while on battery power. I've got an appointment with a genius for tomorrow (on the eve of the iPhone ). However, I thought I'd get some help form the forum. Here are my panic logs. Any ideas.

Temperature readings

I also thought I'd mention my heat situation. It seems pretty good, but I think thought I'd get some opinion.

Basic use and browsing: 50-55c

Online video watching: 70-72c (this scared me a little at first)

double "yes > /dev/null" totals at 97% CPU: maxed at 75c

The final test surprised and impressed me. The fans were kicking up to 6000rpm for the video and the full load test. For everything, my MBP was sitting on my desk closed and was running on an external screen, keyboard, and mouse.

Others have experienced this, have a search around the forum. Seems to be airport related when accessing certain types of wireless network.

No, it was actually just firefox.

Some sort of answer

I went to my tech services at my school and they said that is a driver issue with the airport card and supporting some wireless security. He told me it was not a hardware issue and will basically wait until apple fixes the problem.

This evening I went to the Apple Store in South Lake, TX and talked to a genius. He didn't even bother to think about what was wrong. I told him about the panics and he checked out my panic logs. Then he just told me to bring in my MBP with the box and all the packaging tomorrow. They will then just switch it out for a new one . Heck Yes!

In addition, I get to go to the Apple Store on Black (iPhone) friday. I'm going in at their 9 open time so it shouldn't be that bad, but I still think it's cool to be there on this day (even if I won't be getting an iPhone).

Can I get a woot for a new MBP?

Well, turns out both of you guys were right. I just had the same problem with my new macbook pro. Hopefully this has been reported to apple. I wouldn't want it to go un-noticed. I feel kind of bad though for getting a new MBP. Hopefully apple will realize that this is costing them money!

Kernel Panic

i just joined the forum, there's a lot of great information here!

I too am experiencing airport-related kernel panics with the exact same stack trace as other people posting here.

However, I only experience this panic if I'm running on battery power.

I've had my MacBook Pro since April, would hate to have to exchange it to resolve this problem.

I've done an Archive and Install but that has not corrected the problem.

Any updates to the driver imminent?
