Kernel Panic

We just bought latest MacBook and immediately is giving a Kernel Panic warning, what is happening and what to do now ?

I enclose this article which scares me, because Apple products are not of high manufactured quality, a lot of problems when years ago with my previous Mac really no problems at all.






Apple has begun investigating reports that some MacBook hard drives have manufacturing defects that can lead to data loss.
"We've received a few reports that some MacBook consumer notebooks may have hard drive issues and we're looking into it," the company says in a statement.

UK data recovery firm Retrodata first publicised the problem after receiving a number of drives in which the read/write head appeared to have fallen onto the disk surface, scratching it.

Retrodata managing director Duncan Clark claims that low-cost manufacturing processes used in China are to blame and urged users to regularly backup their machines (as Leopard's Time Machine does).
 
If you doubt that your kernel panic could be hardware related, call AppleCare, and give them the Apple kbase article number, your serial number and symptoms and explain why you are concerned. They should be able to tell based on your serial number whether it would be an option for you.

That aside, have you had one or more kernel panics?
What applications are on and what are you usually doing when the panics occur? Can you post a sample kernel panic? (look for a file called panic.log in your system, that is it, post its contents)
Kernel panics can occur for software problems, ram, unexpected system calls from any software, OS, hardware, or any configuration of them.
 
Thanks Giaguara will call Apple Care and follow your suggestions. This was the first and only kernel panic after buying computer few days ago. No special applications on only MSN and a P2P client, Cabos which we realized later is not working with Leopard. Maybe it could be that. We were using iTunes and iPhoto at that time. In panic.log there is nothing.

Thanks for help
