[plug] Kernel panic

[Damion Hill]

I have a query regarding kernel panic and the sort of thing that 
causes it.

I'm configuring a Debian box at present and have just walked in to 
find the kernel panic message on screen saying that the free list is 
corrupted. The box was doing nothing other than waiting for me to 
keep making choices in dselect. I'm guessing that the problem 
could be RAM related but I don't know for sure.

What sort of issues cause a kernel panic?

Cheers,
Damion.
