Santa Rosa MBP, Kernel Panics fixed by 10.4.10 Update v1.1

A friend of mine who has the new 2.4GHz MBP just ran the 10.4.10 v1.1, and he no longer has KPs. Has anyone else tried this with their SR MBPs?
I just got my 7th machine last night. I noticed that Apple has made the AC adapter smaller (similar to PB's). Who knows, maybe they changed something from the first release? Anyways, I tested it on battery, and within about 15 min, a KP while surfing the net! I will give the v1.1 a try when I get home tonight. will report back.
SR MBP owners, pls let me know if there's any fix out there that I am not be aware of. Thank you!

I run mine on battery all the time. Out on the deck, airports, hotspots, office buildings, hotels. Never had an issue with KP's.
I purchased mine through PowerMax on a trade-in deal for my old Core Duo model. They are located in Oregon I believe.
Something very wrong with being on 7. This is my 3rd one and only because I voluntarily keep upgrading them. Had a 15" Core Duo traded up for a 17" Core Duo and now a 17" Santa Rosa. Never had a single problem with any of them.
Apple certainly isn't problem free, the same as any other manufacturer isn't.
But honestly..if your on #7 I would have to start thinking that the problem is something other than the MBP. Some software...configuration...combination of hardware....something. I mean you would pretty much have to be the worlds unluckiest person I would think to have 7 bad ones.
Honestly, I really do mean no offense, but you might want to start looking at other factors. Are you using 3rd party RAM in it? Have you tried other routers? Or just one you have at home? What security protocols are you using? What software have you loaded from the default configuration.
I guess anything is possible, but statistically it would seem improbable that 7 of them could be suffering from the same problem.

  • Brand-new Santa Rosa MBP, Kernel Panics related to Airport

    Brand new MBP (2.4GHz 15"), anytime I do anything online I get a kernel panic. I am connecting to a WPA-2 network that is supporting stable connections to several other computers, including another (albeit older) MBP. I have no third-party sw installed, I have no peripherals attached, I have installed all available updates, I have run disk verify/repair and permission repair via the install disk and the problem persists. I have also physically inspected the RAM modules to make sure they're situated properly.
    The console log shows mbuf failures (I can only access the log if I have the airport off) that are similar to the problem Apple identified in 10.4.8 but were supposedly solved w/ 10.4.9 (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?
    artnum=303712).
    So two questions: anyone else out there experiencing this on a WPA-2 or other network? If so, any fixes that don't involve me having to return this computer to Apple? If this is a QA issue that could have been prevented through better testing prior to release...

    Hey Don (and others)
    I bought a new Santa Rosa MPB yesterday and am suffering the same issues. My office uses WPA (not sure about the specifics) and within the first hour of ownership (of my FIRST Apple machine ever) I suffered kernel panics.
    I get back to my workplace from the local Apple Store, get all set up and online. I run all the software updates fine. Next, I shut the lid and proudly carry my new Mac to a meeting. Open the lid and notice I can't get online. I stop and start the wireless and immediately get a kernel panic.
    Restart, and it happens again.
    Restart, and I can get online finally. With the help of some coworkers I get to the panic.log file and notice the panic happens around the Airport.

    Later I discovered that the office uses WPA. So I bring the MBP home and connect via my WEP encrypted WiFi, and haven't had the same problem once (so far it's been over 24 hours, with many "sleeps" in the meantime).
    I did have another panic, waking up out of a 'deep sleep' this morning (after having had the lid shut for 6 hours)...

    ACPI seems to have crashed something, hoping I can recreate this tomorrow morning.
    At this point, I'm just glad to see I'm not the only owner of a the new MBP's suffering the same WPA-related crashes. Also, I do wonder if I got a replacement if it would solve anything, though I'm up for trying and may try tomorrow.
    Overall, a bit frustrated (especially since after craving a MBP for months and holding out for the new models, to have these issues).
    Oh, I also have a 2.4ghz 15"

  • Problem with Santa Rosa MBP-Unable to Boot

    I have a Santa Rosa MBP with the maximum of 4GB of memory.
    About 4 months ago I was unable to boot it because there was no video at all. The Genius Bar stated it was a problem with the video in the hardware and kept it for about a week to install a new Logic Board.
    I got it back but within a couple days began having new problems. The Wi-Fi would connect but there was no internet on safari, mail, etc. i went to the Apple store again and the Genius Bar was unable to fix it and said it was a problem deep inside the OS. What I did since I had already bought Snow Leopard I did an upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard and it solved the problem.
    It has worked well the last 3 months or so when my MBP started slowing down. It would sometimes take 10 minutes just to get from the login screen after typing in my password to my desktop where I can use it. Programs would open slow, close slow. My dashboard opens but I can't do anything with it. It has only gotten worse with time and now the computer won't even boot. It gets to the grey Apple with the progress indicator and stays there with the fan running but never goes further.
    Fortunately I had done a mirrored backup from Super Duper. I had begun to think it was a hard drive problem. I tried booting from this backup that was made before the problem got very bad and it also runs the same way. I then took this backup to another MBP I have and it worked perfectly. I don't think it's a hard drive problem now. I then thought it may be a memory problem. I used the DVD that came with the MBP to do a hardware test which passed.
    I think I have no choice but to go back to the Genius Bar. The problem is with purchasing the additional AppleCare my AppleCare just expired about 3 weeks ago. Yet I know this logic board was put in around 4 months ago and if I'm correct when something like that is done it's often a refurbished board, not new. Either way I had the issue with Wi-Fi just after the replacement and I went back to Apple for it. I think it was related and now this problem. I don't want to have to buy a new MBP but yet I'm convinced all these problems started with the logic board replacement.
    Do any of you have other ideas of what the problem could be? Is it possible something I could fix? I have tried a PRAM reset with no luck. Would Apple cover something like this?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Santa Rosa MBP Application Crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

    I am having Application crashing problems with my brand new Santa Rosa MBP that arrived today. This machine is a 2.4 GHz 17" MBP with Hi-Res Glossy display and it came with 2 GB of RAM. I upgraded it to 4 GB but this problem occurs with the original chips or the new 2 x 2 GB chips.
    So far the applications that crash are Pages, Keynote, Aperture, Parallels Desktop, and iWeb. Other things I have tried are all right for now. Excerpts from the CrashReporter log of Aperture are below. All applications are crashing with an identical EXCBADACCESS (0x0001) and KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at ... (this number differs for individual applications). Any ideas?

    I am also having this problem with Adobe Bridge CS3, and QuickTime but only if I try to open a video file. It seems to be a problem when I access anything that wants to deal with the video hardware in the machine. I am planning on calling Apple tomorrow but any help would be appreciated.

  • MBP Kernel Panics, log posted, ideas?

    MBP kernel panics and panic log
    I received a MBP at the end of march, build week 10, 2.0 GHz, 2 GB of kensington memory added. I have been getting occasional kernel panics (screen greys, computer asks for restart), mostly while running itunes through an airport express/extreme network to my home stereo. Sunday, I ran apple hardware test in looping mode for 4 hours, no indicated problem. Then, I ran Memtest in single user mode for 3 hours, with no indicated problem. No noise problems that my 51 year old ears can hear, no automatic restarts, but the computer does get much hotter than my old trusty 1 GHz Ti PB.
    Below is the panic log. Any of experts around here have suggestions? Hate to send in the 'puter if I don't have to.
    thanks,
    Jack

    I had issues with my previous PowerBook G4. It would all the suddent get very hot. I suspected that something was not right with the CPU cooling. I opened up the PowerBook and found one of the screws that would hold the cooling assembly down loose. after tightening that screw the temperatures returned to normal...
    I can imagine that your MBP has something similar going on as well. Or maybe your environment is hotter that mine here. I work at a pretty well air conditioned place, so my laptops always run very cool here.

    When hooking up a Sharp PG M20X using a [DVI toVGA cable] and a [VGA to DVI adaptor] the MBP sees the projector, but the projector cannot see the computer.
    This is a problem because, I may find myself in situations where this is the only configuration for hooking my MBP up to a projector.
    Note:
    1. A G4 Powerbook works fine with this configuration.
    2. The MacBook Pro drives the Sharp PG M20X projector DVI to DVI - without problems
    3. The MacBook Pro drives a DVI to VGA CRT monitor - using a [VGA to DVI adaptor] - without problems.
    Is there a solution?
    Thanks
    I have a 2.4 GHz Santa Rosa C2D MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   Sharp PG M20X Projector (DVI-input)

    I think I solved this problem.
    It was in issue for me. My second monitor would only display the Windows XP screen when it was loading, then it would black out. I couldn't even move my mouse arrow to the other side. Then I fixed it, here's how (running Windows XP SP3):
    1. Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes
    2. Display
    3. Go to tab "settings"
    4. Double click the blue image with the "2" inside it. This is the second monitor, adjacent to your first, or primary, monitor. The blue box may be a desaturated, greyish blue, meaning that the monitor is disabled. Click it and it a box will pop up asking if you want to enable the monitor. Click OK, and then like magic, your monitor is resurected in it's Windows Glory! From there, adjust the resolution, and it should work perfectly.
    This isn't a Boot Camp compatability issue, it's just a problem with the lack of familiarity that users of OS X have with using XP.
    Have a nice day!

  • Wireless Kernel Panics Fixed with Airport Update

    It has been 48 hours - not one kernel panic due to wirless. (and I have downloaded plenty of files, the first thing to trigger shutdown)
    My heart has sunk a few times when the LCD looked like the gray veil was about to drop, relief just web page changing. I hope this lasts. The irony is that I love my MBP even more, my faith in Apple has been restored, (bit like making up - lol). I have to mention that Apple Australia were quick to reply to my email. Thank you, Apple.
    Very glad I retrieved my MBP before they started taking it apart - it could be that lack of logic board stock actually saved this MBP.
    Good Luck all, hope Airport Patch fixes your problem, I am curious, if Apple are aware this patch has fixed this problem, they must know what caused it in the first place.

  • 10.5.2 and santa rosa mbp cinema display issue

    not only did the update hang... It took disconnecting everything and reseting the pram just to get it past the initial white screen.. once it booted the display on the mbp flickered like 7 times seemingly adjusting it's color profile over and over. I plugged in my 30 inch and it appeared to be working fine.. but then i noticed that the brightness of the display on the santa rosa wasn't responding at all.. and neither were the keyboard keys that usually control the brightness of the cinema display.
    So I decided to reboot.. well. what do you know, won't reboot again unless I unplug not only the cinema display, but the firewire and usb extensions that go with it, and my fire800 external... I'm not sure which it is as I'm not going to test it risking anything.. it's something though.. it seems like a power issue... and I'm worried it could get worse.. if i don't restart and unplug everything the fans speed up all the way and it just sits..
    I am not going to reboot for a while now.. hopefully until there is a solution.. help?
    and not to mention I was hoping for a fix with 10.5.2.. try calibrating your color in expert mode.. there's not even a button on the right slider.. I was told that this in their database, and escalated by two separate geniuses.. over 2 months ago..

    not any ideas?

  • MBP kernel panics on startup - won't get past grey screen

    So out of nowhere my unibody MBP (specs, etc below) locked up yesterday while I was watching a video using VLC.  It stopped responding to anything so I held down the power button until it turned off.  I waited about 10 minutes and turned it back on.  Grey screen with spinning cog showed up for about a minute and then kernel panic.  Held down power button until it turned off.  Tried repeatedly - same results.  Won't boot into Safe Mode - still get a kernel panic everytime.  It will let me boot the machine into Target Disk Mode.  It will boot from my Snow Leopard install disk where I ran Disk Utility and "repaired disk" and "repaired disk permissions" on both the drive and the volume.  All the "repair disk" and "repair disk permissions" ended with messages in green type saying that the disk/permissions appear to be OK.
    I have an external FW drive used for TM backups for the machine.  A fair amount of data has been added since the last TM backup (which was less than 30 days ago) that, ideally, I'd like to not lose by resorting to restoring from a TM backup.  It's not the end of the world if the last (roughly) 30 days of data/changes ends up being lost, but I'm willing to work on getting it back up and running without doing an erase and install and then restoring from a TM backup if at all possible.
    Definitely if any other information or data is needed from me in order for anyone to assist, please let me know what it is and I'll do my best to provide it.
    All help/assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

    As (bad) luck would have it, I don't have the discs that came with the machine .  Isn't that always the way?
    At any rate, I figured that would be a suggestion and searched the web for looking to see if what I need (AHT) could possibly be downloaded.  Looks like some folks have found a way/location to download AHT from the web from some of the posts I've seen, but I've come up empty handed.

  • MBP Kernel Panic when connecting to HDTV (DVI)

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro that has been working perfectly since I got it. I tried today to connect it to my Hitachi 51" HDTV (via DVI) and got an instant Kernel Panic. I used my 15" Powerbook with this HDTV without any issues.
    I've searched and found folks with kernel panics when waking their MBP if the RAM is faulty, but nothing at all about issues when connecting an external display. I am running with all the latest updates, firmware update, etc.
    I don't have any problems connecting to a 23" Cinema display or to a 19" Samsung LCD, but I tried several times to connect to the HDTV and got a kernel panic each time. I changed resolutions on one try and still got the same issue (720x480 so the TV would see it as 480p). I even tried booting up with the display already connected and it kernel panic'd when it tried to switch into the full OS X GUI.
    The specific error is in the panic.log is:
    Sat Jun 10 16:23:48 2006

    What happens if you boot from the DVD that came with the MBP instead of booting from your hard drive? It could have something to do with your configuration.

  • Santa Rosa Macbook fan noise fix, sort of

    I don't know how many of you guys noticed this, but when I got the new Santa Rosa MB it was definitely louder than my previous C2D Macbook. Even when idle doing nothing.
    I found out that the lowest rpm on the new Santa Rosa goes at 1800, which in a quiet room at night is way to loud personally.
    In order to fix it just download fan control 1.2 and then put the lowest RPM setting to 1000. For me that instantly made the MB super quiet again.
    Hope that helps to those that wish more silence out of the Santa Rosa books.

    I made an appointment at the Apple Store I got it from (4 days after I purchased). I told them about the weird clicking noise and they took it to the back (store was pretty loud) and came back in a few minutes and offered to exchange it since I was within my 14 days. The new one is way quieter and only makes fan noise with intensive processes (as expected). Doing some research after the fact, I believe my issue was the ticking/clicking one described here: http://www.appledefects.com/wiki/index.php?title=MacBook#.22Mooing.22fan_noise.2C_Ticking.2FClicking_Fannoise Overall, they handled it pretty well (I was prepared to field an inquisition about this manufacturing flaw, luckily I didn't have to and they recognized the problem pretty quickly), and I'm finally enjoying my new MacBook.

  • New SR MBP Kernel Panics?

    In the past two days I've had 2 kernel panics during normal use. Looking at the log it doesn't seem like the two are related though. Anyway, I don't remember what I was doing yesterday at the time it happened other than browsing the internet. Today after leaving my computer on and using it sporadically I just opened Camino and the gray screen/multilingual message came up telling me to restart or shut down. It's not like I'm always having problems when I open or run Camino either, since it was working fine earlier in the day.
    I ran Disk Utility and repaired the disk and permissions, which found no errors. I also ran the Apple Hardware Test which completed without error. I haven't added anything to my computer in terms of hardware either.
    Anyway, the log is as follows:

    Thanks for the help.
    Macbook Pro 2.2ghz SR   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    A Kernel Panic is basically a Blue Screen of Death for OS X. You normally get a message and you have to turn the power off and turn it back on.
    They are extremely annoying and normally do not happen very often in OS X. The issue can be fixed if Apple Engineers will fix it. However, there is no ETA on a patch.

  • What is a Santa Rosa MBP?

    Sorry for my ignorance, but I just bought a MBP 17" 2.4Ghz with 4GB RAM and 7200RPM HD and I've read a lot about the "Santa Rosa" and I'm lost. What is it? and how can you tell? Thanks

    It's the most recent incarnation of the MBP line that is using a different chipset than previous models. This chipset is nick-named 'Santa Rosa' by Intel. Hence the new MBPs are called the Santa Rosa models. They can be easily identified by their CPU speeds - 2.2 and 2.4 GHz.
    If you open System Profiler you will also see that the Machine ID is 3,1 to identify the first of the Santa Rosa models.

    Under the keyboard, hey? So you have a Titanium Powerbook. You should update your profile to include the model and CPU size of your Powerbook to help get more accurate assistance. Crucial is a reputable brand of RAM. They also offer a lifetime warranty.
    The clips: I used to have a Titanium Powerbook, but it was a few years ago. If MY memory serves me right the clips move to the outside of the RAM modules. Due to the heat and never being removed they may have semi-welded themselves into position. One trick would be to heat the computer up and try to remove them while it is warm/hot. Just plug it in and run some CPU intensive apps for a while, then turn it off, remove the battery, ground the computer and give them another try. Grounding (earthing) the computer to remove static is not difficult. After you have removed the battery just touch the metal case and grab a metal window or door frame. That will ground any static in the machine. Also, if you are working on carpet take your shoes and socks off to avoid more static build up. You could even go as far to stand on a rubber bathroom mat while working on the computer, but replacing RAM should only take a few minutes. If you still have difficulties getting the RAM stick out go to a site called The Powerbook Medic and look for tips on removing sticks from a Titanium.
    Hope the new RAM stops the panics.
    SR.

  • 1 Kernel Panic Fix - Downgrade Motu Driver

    Just wanted to add a topic to the forums to let people know about an issue I've discovered with the audio drivers from MOTU.
    It seems as though their latest driver update (1.4.7) for any of the firewire consoles (entitled - *MOTU 828/896/828mk2/896HD/Traveler - 1.4.7*) is not compatible with OS 10.4.x Tiger. After installing this driver the system may have a classic kernel panic after a restart.
    All you need to do is un-install version 1.4.7 of the driver and download + install version 1.4.1 available here
    Hope this helps anyone with a similar issue. It seems a common cause for kernel panics is an incompatible driver for 3rd party hardware.

    Thanks for the tip.
