Is this a kernel panic, or something else?

Question

So my wife was working on her MacBook the other day, and she said this message came up, not on a window, but just the writing on top of the desktop. Then she rebooted the computer, and the same message came up on a window. Is this a kernel panic? If not, do you guys have any idea what it can be? Your help is much appreciated. Here is the message that came up after she rebooted her macbook:Interval Since Last Panic Report:  4051261 secPanics Since Last Report:          2Anonymous UUID:                    16E7058B-324F-4646-8319-F30AAAE69474Sat Feb  2 23:41:10 2013panic(cpu 1 caller 0x28fc2e): "TLB invalidation IPI timeout: " "CPU(s) failed to respond to interrupts, unresponsive CPU bitmap: 0x0, NMIPI acks: orig: 0x0, now: 0x0"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.15.3/osfmk/i386/pmap.c:3572Backtrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)0x2fbabb38 : 0x21b837 (0x5dd7fc 0x2fbabb6c 0x223ce1 0x0) 0x2fbabb88 : 0x28fc2e (0x59a47c 0x0 0x0 0x0) 0x2fbabbf8 : 0x290a43 (0x5335658 0x309de000 0x0 0x0) 0x2fbabc68 : 0x26cc0a (0x28654 0x60 0x0 0xe638dc) 0x2fbabe18 : 0x2647a0 (0x61fc848 0x0 0x0 0x26e000) 0x2fbabf18 : 0x484858 (0x5349a40 0x3079c000 0x0 0x30a0a000) 0x2fbabf78 : 0x4f7f90 (0x52e5d20 0x9f4dd10 0x9f4dd54 0x0) 0x2fbabfc8 : 0x2a1fd8 (0x5fc7f54 0x0 0x246 0x4aa9a44) No mapping exists for frame pointerBacktrace terminated-invalid frame pointer 0xbfffe2f8BSD process name corresponding to current thread: SafariMac OS version:10K540Kernel version:Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun  7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386System model name: MacBook1,1 (Mac-F4208CC8)System uptime in nanoseconds: 44644905437391unloaded kexts:com.apple.driver.AppleFileSystemDriver     2.0 (addr 0xc95000, size 0x12288) -

That is indeed a kernel panic but nothing jumps out as me from reading he panic log as to why it occurred. If it happens again or becomes more regular you should try to find out why, if it doesn&#x27;t I wouldn&#x27;t worry about it. Here&#x27;s a link to some troubleshooting steps http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

Yes this is a kernel panic. With these they are known to get progressivly worse.This specific one looks like a certain kext file is running into an error while trying to communicate with a piece of Hardware within the computer.9 times out of 10 this will turn into a hardware issue and would recomend taking it into an apple store for diagnosticsIf thats not possible you can try reinstalling the operation system. Keep in mind this will not delete or remove any data or applications just put a fresh OS on your computer
