This is very good description. I have a Beige G3 tower and I get this about 1 a month.
You entire screen DIMS and a multilingual message to restart your computer comes on the screen
I personally believe most kernel panics are due to hardware problems. I have checked my memory several times (changed memory modules) I have checked my hard drive and it is very difficult to determine what causes the panic. It would be nice if there was a kernel monitor (gui tool) that would help to diagnose the nature of kernel panics. At the command line there is a file where this is information is written (the problem is understanding the file).
I had my first one yesterday. Dim screen, multilingual message etc.. It occured when I attempted a shut down while several apps were running. It occured during the Quicken app Quit. Nothing would restart or shut down. I tried hold start button down on both k'board and computer, command-option-esc, and control-command-start and nothing would work. Finally had to pull the power plug. Is this normal recovery process from a kernal panic?
I ran D Warrior and everything is operating normally now.
