Macbook Problem Found
22 Aug 2006 14:59
The hard drive seems to be the culprit. I had a few more kernel panics, and the crash logs griped about the AHCI interface (which I now know to be something SATA-related).
The hard drive eventually fell into a persistent vegetative state, spinning up but refusing to do anything more than click. The machine wouldn’t even POST.
So now I’m waiting for a replacement, and using the Thinkpad again.
Don’t buy any computer, ever. Stick with paper. Maybe revisit it if computers are still around in 400 years. Until then, it’s just a fad.
