Okay, I updated to Mac OS 10.6.5 yesterday and all seemed well. Today I had my somewhat usual Applications open (iChat, Mail, Safari, iTunes, Photoshop, Dashcode, and Final Cut Express Exporting) and when I went to save the Photoshop image it froze. After thinking only photoshop froze i tried to do the command, option, escape command to bring up the force quit menu but realized it wouldn't open. I tried to go to the Apple menu but when I dragged my mouse off of the Photoshop window I realized finder had a beachball also. Even the menu bar and dock. No response from Exposé either. After about 5 minutes of everything just frozen it finally kernel panicked. When I rebooted the system it took about 5 minutes to boot which is long. After it booted I went to console and looked at the log file. This is what it says:
+panic(cpu 1 caller 0x28f16b): "pmap
flushtlbs() timeout: "P"cpuanic(Cin 0)o res oUn to entspousiv,e promesaps+
Is this a serious issue? Last time I had a kernel panic back in January 2010 my hard drive needed to be replaced.
Thanks,

I've now spent 2.5 stable days with 10.6.7 in the environment with the Cisco APs where I was having regular kernel panics with 10.6.5. It appears 10.6.7 fixed the particular problem I was having with the wireless network related kernel panics.
