Here goes. (Again, I apologize for the goofy formatting. I only have BBedit
on my OS 9 tower to open .rtf files)

I've looked up "kernel_tas" on Google, but I'm not coming up with anything
useful. The most useful thing I've found is that someone said it might be
attributed to hardware/firmware issues. But I don't know what to do with
that. I got this PowerBook last March/April and haven't done anything
firmware-wise since. I've just doing the system upgrades pushed by Software
Update. Can I redo the current firmware over it's current self, even if it's
the same version? What about hardware tests. I ran the tests on the disk
that came with the PowerBook and both the long and short tests say that
everything is OK?

It's still under warranty, does anyone have any experience with something
like this that Apple has addressed for them?

Thanks again for the help,
-Hector
