Kernel panics normally get reported to Apple automatically, at least as far as asking for your permission to send them. I've had at least one where I didn't get asked. > FWIW SL has never paniced here. I had several up to 10.6.2, which appeared to be related to using my iPhone to do tethering: if the iPhone was plugged in and tethering at the point the computer woke up from sleep, it would sometimes kernel panic if an application tried to do a network access within roughly one second of waking up. I reported it to Apple at least five times. Never had a kernel panic if my iPhone wasn't plugged in at wakeup. Apart from that issue, early Snow Leopard was a lot more stable than early Leopard. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

Out of interest, are any of these devices plugged in via a USB hub? My last kernel panics, and general instability were down to a dicky hub. I replaced the hub, and now no more kernel panics. I've not had any at all in Snow Leopard. -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/> |
