Kernel panic!
So, I'm watching the revenge videos on fchat when \i get the kernel panic. Tried restarting many times, same message, now, it gets halfway booting and just shuts itself down.
How to resolve?

You'll need to figure out what's doing it.
First do this and make sure all your hardware is good.
If it is, boot with the OS X installation DVD (insert disk, hold C and power on). Once the installer comes up, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the disk and then repair permissions.
If those two things come back clear and it still won't boot, the OS is somehow hosed, which is very rare but can happen. You can either elect to do a reinstall in place (will reload the OS and hopefully save all your date) or just nuke and pave it if you have a recent backup.
Failing all else, take it to an Apple store or Apple certified VAR.
