After installing the SMC Firmware Update 1.0, my MBP is having trouble waking up from sleep. Every time when I open the lid, Mac OSX tells me the system had quit unexpectedly and I have to press and hold the "power" button to force shut down.

Anyone suffering the same problem? Or, perhaps it wasn't caused by the SMC update. But I remember very well the last time I run the system update, I only chose updates for iWeb and Pages other than SMC Firmware Update 1.0.

Certainly hope it can be fixed.

Try resetting your PRAM and PMU.

Are you running any PPC apps with Rosetta emulation when this happens? There seems to be a Rosetta glitch that causes the OS to crash upon wake from sleep. I experienced it a while back. When I got a UB version of the app the crashes stopped at once.

PPC apps with Rosetta emulation? Probably not. I actually tried to wake my MPB from sleep after a fresh boot (no any running application) and it still crashed & I had to force shut down. It's happened many times and I'm afraid that repeated force shut down will destroy the hard drive.

try putting it to sleep in a Safe Boot. hold down shift durring startup, it will take a while to boot about 2min or so, it will run nothing but OS X no other programs at start up, then try putting it to sleep see if you get the same results, if so i could be your firmware or a bad OS X file.
