Kernel panics

[Dr. M. Burek]

I wiped my OS X 10.2.6 installation the other day and reinstalled it (I 
had recently upgraded from 10.1.5 and I wanted to recover some disk 
space and do it clean), and everything seemed fine at first.

However, when I went to update stuff through "Software Updates" in 
System Prefs, I'd get a few things downloaded ( but not installed) and 
then I'd get a kernel panic. Pressed "r" to reboot as it said, but it 
locked up hard, and I had to power cycle the Mac. After going through 
this same cycle about 10 times, I decided to download the 10.2.6 combo 
from Apple's web site by itself, then do the updates afterwards.

Everything SEEMS ok now, but I haven't really run it long enough to find 
out for sure yet. Anyone know why this happened, and how to fix it? I 
never had this happen before in OS X.

Hardware setup: Power Mac 7300 Sonnet G3 400 MHz w/ 1 MB L2 cache, 288 
MB RAM (interleaved), IBM Ultrastar 9 GB SCSI drive, Apple ROM Quantum 2 
GB SCSI, Yamaha SCSI CD-RW CRW4416SX (external), Formac ProTV II PCI, 
Apple 7300 video w/4 MB VRAM.

NOTE: I did not have the Sonnet G3 card's L2 cache enabled yet either 
when I got the kernel panics. Could this have been the culprit?

Thanks for any help

Michael
