New MBP Kernel Panics!!!

Same thing here

Wow, I just found this thread and want to add that I am having the exact same problem with frequent work disabling kernel panics.
I have the same panic log which mentions airport.....

The computer works just fine on battery power.
I am on my 4th Mac book pro from exchanges..

I am using at&t's 2wire--but from reading all 7 pages of this thread there are other routers that people are experiencing kernel panics with. I believe someone also mentioned that they experienced the kernel panic with an apple brand wireless modem.

The top level support person I've been talking to is really nice and helpful, but has not been able to give me an update on a resolution. --However the support guy in the store was incredibly rude and told me that this is not an apple problem at all--he said it is entirely an AT&T 2 wire problem. He claims that AT&T uses old technology that has not been upgraded (Which makes me wonder why, if this is true, Apple would pair with AT&T on iPhone service)

I agree that we need to be verbal about this. I work for a news station, and I want to see if I can make this a story. --If not for on air -at least on our Web site. --But I need to gather as much info as possible. I'm glad I found this thread.

Yeah, I've heard the steps there do work, but I'm still hesitant. I more or less just want Apple to fix it. Which the AppleCare representative said would be fixed in about a month as of 2 weeks ago. So I'm going to wait for Apple's official fix for 2-3 more weeks, then give it a go. Hopefully it gets an official fix

I was told 2 weeks turnaround for a fix by Applecare.....3 weeks ago :(
 
Perhaps we'll see it around the same time as the iMac/iPod refresh in early August. It's probably going to come amidst a burst of updates, and I imagine Apple won't hype it up too much.
 
did this happen to anyone? white macbook 2.0 ghz gig of ram.

hi everyone.This is my first post here.I experienced the airport dropouts and the kernel panics when i updated to 10.4.10 as well,when i was running on battery.I tried everything i could think of and find on the web to try to fix it , but then instead of the kernel panics the machine just started shutting down.It got to the point where
it would no longer start on battery or run on battery at all.Everything was fine when it was running off the adapter.Anyways I backed up and restored the machine back to 10.4.8 but that didn't fix the battery problem.I couldn't tell if if fixed the airport problem cause it wouldn't run off battery.also the battery would show a full charge in the task bar and with the indicator lights on the battery itself.oh yeah and it wouldn't run off the battery in windows via boot camp either.Anyways i wonder if the battery and the airport issues are related or if its just a coincidence.I brought the laptop to the mac store in the hopes that they would let me try a different battery but no go .They have to do the whole diagnostic thing.I guess i'll soon find out.


edit....got new battery alls fine.macstore guy syas they weren't related.He did say that a ton of people are angry about the airport problem so hopefully that will light a fire under apples ass.
 
Airport UPdate

I just got word that there is an airport update which may or may not solve this issue!!
 
Just go to your Software Update. It should appear there. I installed the Airport update a couple of hours ago, and guess what! I haven't had a single kernel panic since! I have been running on battery just to see if it worked, and I have a 2Wire modem! I think maybe they really fixed it!!! Let's hope so, anyway!
 
Its not showing up in software update for me. Also manual install says that it cannot be installed on my computer :(

Anyone else experiencing this?

Good for you! Hope it works out.

I should state I've never had 10.4.10 on this computer (it came with 10.4.9) and I've never experienced the panics, so I'm very much of the "if it ain't broke" mentality. Still, I do like to have the latest software if possible so I'll be interested to hear the reports.
 
I had 10.4.10 and experienced the panics so I reinstalled and went back to 10.4.9. My internet is still very slow and drops out though so I'm hoping this will fix it.
 
A few minutes since I've installed both the 10.4.10 combo update and the new Airport Extreme Update and I've noticed a much more stable and faster connection. I'm going to unplug it from the wall and hope for no kernel panics.

Edit: Alright, 30 minutes running on battery power. No Kernel Panics. I'd say it's safe. Before this, my macbook pro couldn't last more than 15 minutes when on 10.4.10.
 
Got my first Panic today, I was listening to a track in Front Row, started skipping then a panic :( Anyone help me out?

update fix

I just got off the phone with Apple Care and the AirPort update which came out today (August 14, 2007) is supposed to fix these kernel panics (at least the ones in the panic log that I sent them).

Time will tell.
 
Kernel Panic At Startup Powerbook G4 17" 1.67 Osx 10.4.11

Kernel Panic At Startup Powerbook G4 17" 1.67 Os X 10.4.11

Good Day

I left my laptop off for 3 months with no baterrie, duo a trip to EU, after trying to turn it on , I could not get pass by the Kernel display,
I did backup my system through firewire as slave HD, I can start the computer holding down shift at startup, but then a few functions wont work, it is just the safe boot.

I re-install my MAC OSX 10.4 then the up date to 10.4.11 but still no lock.

I also try to connect it to the internet via ethernet cable but I guess it is disable.

Still no lock , just try to Reset PRAM and NVRAM and I am still getting the kernel display,
I also reset the PMU and still no lock

but again if I try to turn it on holding shift , the computer start normally on safe boot , and it seems to have no hardware error what so ever.

If anybody has any other ideias I am glad to try..

Thanks a lot
