kernel panic back from sleep; safari flash plug-in freeze; firmware update

[MissMurder]

as the title shows, this is a multiple question thread, hope it's in the right forum section.

1) my boyfriend has a one month old mid-2010 MacBook running 10.6.6 that's been having kernel panics back from sleep. I was out of town so I did a quick reading and told him to do the PRAM reset steps from apple docs. It kept happening. I got back home, ran Onyx. It's still happening.

2) Safari freezes when he tries to upload files that use the flash plugin (flickr, gmail)

3) I also read that the kernel panics could have something to do with the firmware. MacTracker says the latest EFI Firmware update is 2.0, but when I try to install it, there's a message saying the update is not supported by the system.

it took me 3 years to make him switch and now he keeps giving me "the look"

both the kernel panic log and the Safari log (from when I quit the Flash plug-in process in the Activity Monitor) are attached due to post length restrictions.

My first inclination looking at those would be bad RAM.

First thing I'd do would be to call and make an appointment at the local Apple store. In the meantime, try using one stick only, then the other to see if the KPs go away.

thank you.
there are no Apple Stores in Brazil, but there are some authorized repair centers I can take it to.
