Kernel Panics on New MacBook

Oh my god!!! yes i have a New MacBook The Black One 2.0 GHz and 1GB RAM and 120 GB HD and i have 4 Kernel Panics today i'm running Mac OS X 10.4.10 and i have a lot of this panics i'm so ****** off!!!! it could be the version (10.4.10) don't you think?

Same kernel panics here. Running 10.4.10.

Anybody else having the same panics with the Atheros card should report it here to see if the problems are isolated or not.

I've been using the same thing for months and I've never had that problem. I don't even know what a Kernel Panic is.
I did hear though that a Mac virus has been circulating this past week, maybe that's what it is.
Update your security software if you can.

I have the same problem with my macbook... almost every day, often several times a day.

i have tired many things, but the gray screen of death remains 😟

wish apple would help us... as this seems to be a common problem for many people. and i really doint want to determine which vista release would be right.

please tell us... if someone who udnerstand this problem helps reslove the problem; as many need help with this too.

hmm i think im going to do that myself.

Same problem here. Random panics after 10.4.10 update. No problems before that.

I am running a 2nd Revision Black MacBook with the updated 10.4.10 OS. I receive the exact same kernel panic, especially while I dealing with my intermittent internet connection. This new update brought too many problems.

Are you using a wireless router with WAP? Try using WEP and see if your kernel pacnics go away. This was an issue with Macbook Pros...

- Greg

yeah im using a router with wep and still getting kernal packets only when im using the battery

I have seen that kernel panic a couple times on my month old Macbook running 10.4.9. It appears to be caused by a shaky Airport driver, but that's a bit of speculation on my part.

Anyway, the problem doesn't appear to be isolated to 10.4.10 because I haven't upgraded to that point version yet.

I have been using WEP security as well.....

There are long discussions about this in the macbook pro category. Seems to be a problem with a driver and airport which happens only on battery power. See if changing your battery settings from Better Energy Savings to Better Performance helps.

I'm having the same problem. I just got my MB yesterday and have had 3-4 kernel panics already. I'm a new mac user so I don't really have any idea what to do. I have a 2.16 GHz intel core 2 duo and this is my panic log...

I have a black Macbook as well that is about 3 months old and I never had an issue with it till I loaded 10.4.10. I called Apple support and they had me reload the firmware from the original disk so I am back to 10.4.8 I no longer have the shutdowns and they will let me know when a better version of 10.4.10 is available. This only happened when I was on line so is is an issue with airport or the drivers for the card. BTW, my wife has a new white Macbook and we did the same update and her has never shutdown... What is it with the black version of Macbooks? Based on what I have read here, it is just a problem with them.....

Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have a 2 month old white MacBook that started with the kernel panics after I upgraded to 10.4.10 as well. I seem to have better luck when plugged in, but have gotten kernel panics using both battery and while plugged in. I also lose my Airport connection. This issue has also been discussed under the Networking/Internet forum for MacBooks as well. So it is not just a black MacBook problem.
