[QUOTE="technologist, post: 42458, member: 4134"] Basically, the things that can cause a kernel panic are - Defective hardware (including and especially memory) and - peripheral devices with kernel-level drivers (kext's) that are screwy. If you have added any new peripherals recently, that might be the culprit. My USB cellular phone/modem has caused a kernel panic or two, for no sane reason. I also had a FireWire hard drive that seemed to enjoy throwing up kernel panics on a G4 iMac a while ago. If you haven't added any peripherals, then you may want to run some hardware diagnostics using the Hardware Test CD that came with your Mac. [/QUOTE]
