kernel panics on a dozen different machines / models
I maintain 120 Macs & have had very few kernel panics over the years. Over the past few months, I now have a dozen iBooks that won't work or will work only in single-user mode. Five of these are 1.33 Ghz. I've read much on iFixit about iBook KPs, including the Airport-on-logic board problem. Thus far I've tried only software fixes (applejack / disk repair / memtest), with little/no success.
My questions:
1. The 1.33 Ghz machines KP right after login unless in safe boot. In safe boot Airport is disabled but only until next boot. Can I 'permanently' turn Airport off somehow in safe boot (or otherwise)?
2. the other machines (1.0 & 1.2 Ghz) - despite my reading, I'm clueless how to proceed. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance - this is a great site/service!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

What system(s) are you running. Did this start after updating your system? Do you use the Airport feature?

These machines are not altogether consistent but all are OS 10.4. Seven of the 13 machines are 10.4.11, others are 10.4.10, .9, .8 & .5! All used Airport prior to these KPs. I don't believe this had anything to do with any system updates. Some seem heat-related (they'll boot normally for a short while), others KP immediately after login upon cold startup.
