Just to clear things up, a kernel panic is not a fixable thing, nor is it a crash in the sense that matters to the integrity of your machine. The effect for the end user is the same in that you lose any unsaved data and must restart your machine, but this is the end of the similarity. The reason Unix (and thus OS X) is considered uncrashable is because if a piece of hardware or software attempts to do something that will crash the system, the system panics. It is a software fuse that is tripped which allows no more activity to avoid crashing the system and doing any damage. So you don't fix a kernel panic, you fix what caused it. And as Yuichi pointed out, most panics are caused by software and if they are not persistent then it is nothing to worry about. If you are running into panics, rather than one random one, it is time to get someone to look at the machine and determine what is going on as these should occur rarely, if at all, as most on these forums can attest to.
