Mac OS X Panther (10.3.5): "David Dunham

I don't have any help with the kernel panics (I've upgraded two machines to 10.3.5 so far), but he'll probably find a file 'panic.log' in /Library/Logs, which he could e-mail, instead of trying to read off the screen...

You should send kernel panics to Apple. You might not have access to bugreporter.apple.com, but I'll bet pasting it in to www.apple.com/macosx/feedback would be a slower alternative."
