Powerbook crash

[Ih8reno]

Hi guys,


With these new threads on people buying powerbooks I thought I would fire up my 12 inch 1.5ghz 1.25gb ram laptop. It crashed after using a few programs and I recall it doing it last time I had it on as well. Could someone read the crash report and maybe see if they know what could be causing this?

Problem lies with your wifi.

You could try moving the Airport kexts out of the extensions folder so it can't activate the hardware - this is what I do with my iBook with the common faulty Airport card problem.
If this cures it, you can then use a cheap USB wireless bud instead.

So it's the files themselves and not the hardware?

In my case it's definitely the hardware - the OS can't load the drivers (kexts) so it doesn't 'see' my Airport card and therefore bypasses it. With the kexts in place, the Airport card is activated which quickly leads to kernel panic.
I'm not saying that's your case but deactivating the hardware will narrow it down.

re-seat the card? Mine has little plastic tabs glued in behind the card, so maybe they had problems like this before.

Have a couple of extra cards so I switched them out and am presently using the powerbook to type this. Hopefully it was just a faulty card because I have the leopard install just the way I like it.
