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:

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

Hmm, very interesting Jim. Maybe this is isolated to Leopard on Intel…
It’s not just Intel - I got several of these this weekend on a Powerbook 1.67Ghz PowerPC running Leopard
