Yeah, "kernal" panic is more like a whole cob panic for this tyro.

Hi Dean,
This is called a kernal panic. Usually caused by some external
device that is connected to your computer but not always. The fix
is to restart the machine. If it keeps happening, you should
start the machine with all external devices disconnected and re-
connect them one by one to see which one is the
culprit....scanners are notorious for causing this.
The next thing I would suggest is to make sure that all of your
device drivers i.e. printer, scanner, non-apple mouse/keyboard are
all up to date...you may have transfered your old drivers over and
they aren't compatible with Tiger. You can download these from
the vendors' websites.
This could also be a chip/motherboard problem (not unheard-of on a
new, untested machine.)
In my case, it was caused by a bad memory chip. Easily fixed
(whew!) after the kernel panic caused a user panic! 8-)
