Power-On Self Test.

Basiclaly, it's the hardware test the computer goes on immediately after
switch on, and before loading any software.

It's like getting up from bed in the morning and checking you still have all
of your limbs attached and working... just in case. ;-D

What does it do instead of bonging?

Try reseating the memory.  Try running on only one stick of known-good memory.

Any kernel panics?

If you can get it to boot at all, peruse the system.log for error messages.
