Kernel panics are usually caused by failing/incompatible hardware.
I've had USB bluetooth dongles, bad RAM and bad PCI cards cause kernel
panics. I would try unplugging everything non essential, including
internals, and put in the minimum RAM to run OSX. Try a different
keyboard/mouse, sometimes third party accessories can cause kernel
panics, as can poorly built USB hubs. You might try re-installing Tiger.
I think the OP was meaning kernel panic code? Never heard of that
happening, usually kernel panics dim the screen, and show the power
icon followed by text in several languages saying something along the
lines of, "you need to restart your computer..." Are you sure what
you're experiencing kernel panics?
Hope you get it working,
-Elliott
PS. I'm curious where you got a deal that good?
