Twice in the past week my (very dirty) MacBook Pro has kernel panicked on me. I always make fun of the notorious Windows BSOD and I’d like to keep doing so without being hypocritical. At the time of this panic I was running OS X 10.6.2. I was obviously using Mail.app and I most likely had Safari or Firefox and TextMate open at the time. The one application that could be the culprit is Quicksilver. Since this panic I did upgrade to the latest yet still beta version of the application. Hopefully the panicking will come to an end and my Windoze bashing can once again return to full force.Perhaps the computer is simply trying to politely tell me to clean it’s screen!

I run those same apps all day every day *except* Quicksilver, and haven’t seen a panic in forever. Have you checked your logs prior to crash? I’d be curious about non-app addons, kexts, etc.
Of course in hindsight I should have suggested the most obvious… it’s probably nothing more than a PEBCAK issue…
Always showing signs of a true geek… I had to look that one up. It could definitely be a ID 10 T error but mainly because I work harder and faster than my MacBook Pro can handle. I don’t remember the last time I’ve had a panic on any of my Macs really. I haven’t looked through any logs yet but will at some point or if it happens again. I also had Adium running and I’m sure Terminal.app.
