[SOLVED] How can I learn understand kernel panics?

[Rodion15]

I've been googling but found nothing minimally useful about how to interpret kernel panics. Any suggestions?

Oh thanks mate, I already read that, not too clarifying. This other is good to read too:

I guess those who know are too busy to write a proper tutorial

I think the point is that kernel panics are only really useful to kernel developers or programmers writing device drivers. The information in that Apple document will be more than enough for them.

Here is a more user-friendly guide on how to understand kernel panics: http://www.embracingchaos.com/2011/05/macbook-crashes-kernel-panics-and-coping-with-an-apple-genius.html

In addition to Apple's guide on how to solve such issues:

Hope these help
