Kernel panic's aren't easy to diagnose, that might be why. Unlike in the
Windows world, where kernel panics are considered a normal and accepted part
of daily operation, Linux is designed not to fall over and die at random
times. An error in the kernel usually means one of two things: You're using
experimental features (in which case you're expected to know what's going on)
or bad hardware (in which case, anything goes, from kernel panics to nasal
demons [1]).
