The 10-Step Program to Overcoming Kernel Panic Syndrome
Apple finally replaced my MBP, as well, but they made me jump through hoops and waste days of self-diagnosis and prayer offerings to the Kernel Goddess.
1) Kernel panics began about a month after purchase and within 30 minutes machine became unresponsive.
2) Apple replaced logic board.
3) Kernel panics began within days of picking up machine from Apple Store following logic board replacement.
4) Called Apple Store and was told to wipe the drive and do a complete reinstall (a pain since I would also have to reinstall Parallels, Windows and Windows apps).
5) Called AppleCare to get a 2nd opinion. Technician told me an OS X archive and reinstall, which is less obtrusive, should fix it. He also said if kernel panics continue afterwards, hardware is defective and Apple Store should replace.
6) Did an archive and reinstall of OS X. Kernel panics continued. Apple Store refused to replace machine, and instead insisted I do a complete reinstall.
7) Ran Apple system diagnosis tool (one of the CDs the MBP came with) in looping mode for 8hrs. No issues found. Kernel panics continue.
8) Completely wiped the hard drive and reinstalled everything from scratch. Kernel panics continued.
9) Apple Store refused to replace machine.
I purchased the MBP Core Duo in early October, shortly after which Apple released the MBP Core 2 Duo. I began to wonder if Apple's reluctance to replace my machine was due to the fact that they may no longer stock Core Duos, so any replacement would effectively be an upgrade, at least in terms of chip speed (2.16GHz to 2.33GHz).
10) I asked the Apple Store if the "unearned upgrade" was why they were dragging their feet, and if so, I would be willing to pay the difference because my entire job is run off of the laptop. They finally agreed to replace my MBP Core Duo with a MBP Core 2 Duo. The C2D came with 2GB RAM whereas the CD came with only 1GB RAM which I upgraded to 2GB at time of purchase. So my only out-of-pocket costs were to pay for the extra 1GB RAM (I kept the additional Apple 1GB RAM from original purchase because Apple could not except used RAM in the exchange).
So far, the new MBP C2D has not had any kernel panics (hope I don't jinx myself now). I had to be very persistent, and I documented the cr*p out of everything (calls, emails, kernel panic log, visits to stores, calls to AppleCare, hours spent diagnosis, reinstalling).
Hope everyone gets their kernel panics resolved. I lost days of productivity and years off of my life from the stress of stomping around my office, cursing like a wounded pirate.
