Random kernel panics..

Hello,

My macbook is causing kernel panics at random. The latest interval was 10 days and I use my macbook every day. I have no idea what the problem is. This is the latest log:

Sun Jan 30 21:59:46 2011

If it is software and not hardware--often, RAM is a cause--the most likely problems seem to be this "foo" thing or VMWare. Do you have any third-party VPNs installed (they would leave a foo.tun and foo.tap kext)? If so, disable them, as they may be conflicting with something. You might also want to turn off or uninstall iAntiVirus for the time being.

The panics allready occured before iAntiVirus was installed (and i only start iAntiVirus once in a while because i don't want to infect computers of my family).
I also performed a hardware test with the original CD included with my Macbook, but there were no problems found.
I don't think there are third party VPN's running. And I really need vmware for some school projects.

Maybe it's better for me to install a dualboot instead of using vmware?

I don't think there are third party VPN's running.

The "foo.tun" and "foo.tap" suggest you have something installed, whether or not it's running. A googling turned up this thread about something called "Hotspot Shield":

Is it possible you have something like installed?

I have an installation of OpenVPN (I think I installed it with macports). Tomorrow is my last exam, after that i'm going to re-install my macbook and skip the OpenVPN installation. Maybe than the problem is solved?

Do you happen to know if there are battery issues with Leopard (10.5), because if not i won't upgrade my installation to snow leopard and wait for OS X Lion this summer.

That may be it.

I don't know of either Leopard or Snow Leopard causing battery problems on our model of MacBook. If you have an SL disc, there's no reason not to use that to do the archive and install (or install and restore from backup).
