Leopard Kernel Panic

Posted by John Minnihan - 26/01/08 at 05:01:41 pm

I’m really beginning to wonder about Leopard.  In all the time I had Tiger – on both a G4 Powerbook as well as on this Macbook Pro – not a single kernel panic, ever.

Just had my first one this morning on Leopard.  It looks like the Airport driver crashed hard.  Something else that is interesting -  Leopard apparently still uses the Darwin kernel.  I didn’t know that:

    It's not just Intel - I got several of these this weekend on a Powerbook 1.67Ghz PowerPC running Leopard

    Hmm, very interesting Jim. Maybe this is isolated to Leopard on Intel...

    My dual G5 on Leopard is very stable. My MacBook, on the other hand, kernel panics often. Here was the latest today:

    Funny thing is... I still have my G4 Powerbook running Tiger, and occasionally fire it up. Tiger is incredibly stable & Leopard is not, at least not yet.

    Hrmmp.
  • i have had several kernal panics on my mbp, too. itunes doesn't work right. it's slow and i am not happy with this upgrade if you can call it that. i almost want my money back and to go back to tiger!
