Shall I mention that the last time my PowerBook have had a kernel panic was when I plugged a webcam in the USB port. Go figure, but and desktop system where webcam drivers are in the kernel (v4l), but video drivers are completely userland[1], there is something wrong . Not that I advocate to put video drivers in the kernel.... Hub [1] actually video drivers are more and more in the kernel, like the now infamous nVidia binary module, but I'm sure the X.org experts here know much more about that than I do.
