My first time having to deal with this, I'd love some assistance.
I have an old 466MHz SE Graphite iBook (the clamshell one). I had 10.1.5 up on the machine and yesterday tried to upgrade to 10.2. The upgrade went through well apparently until time to reboot. Now it "kernel panics".
Following Apple's documentation, I've reset NVRAM & PRAM and tried to boot from the Mac OS X.2 install disc. When this happens, it boots to the gray apple, then I get video problems (once an overly bright screen wash, once lots of verticle gray lines) and a freeze. A soft restart is possible (Apple-ctrl-Power), so I've not reset the PMU.
Reseat your RAM, possibly replace it...such kernel panics are usually related to poor ram. (although if you had OS 10.1 installed it should have given you hassles before.)
It could also well be a munged upgrade. Try resetting the PRAM three or four times in a row (hold down control-alt-p-r until it bongs that many times. Some people recommend ten times for particularly resilient NVRAM resets)
