    I agree with the archive and install method, or do a clean wipe and install just leopard and rebuild from there. I know its a pain in the ass, but every time I upgrade to new version of the OS I start preparing and backing up - usually takes me 1/2 a day to get all my apps, files, and settings back on.
    I find also that I decide to not reinstall a bunch of stuff that is obsolete to me - thus saving space and not cluttering up my drive.

    Don't know if this method (logistically) works for you, but I've been doing it since 10.3 came out and I've only had 2 kernel panics on my machines (both related to an airport bug). I've had none on my MacBook (2 ghz / 2 gb ram) - had it more than a year and upgraded to leopard back in Nov. Sorry to hear you're having troubles...
