Well i am glad at least that it is "official". My mbp2010 has been freezing at least 4 times a day since installing lion. I have done an upgrade, clean install, replaced RAM, replaced the HDD and my SSD but nothing helped.

I tried all tips in this forum, disable network sharing, upgrade flash and whatnot but it kept freezing giving met kernel panics in the system logs.

Now i read that the nvidia drivers in lion are at fault:

i haven't tried removing the suggested files yet, but i did switch gfxcardstatus to 'integrated only' to see if that helps. It would make sense, my MBP crashes a lot when using google chrome .... and for some reason chrome used to kick in the NVIDIA GPU.
