Having kernel panic problems

Question

Hi there, I was trying to turn on my iBook G4 today, but it just won't start up. Instead the "kernel panic" message kept coming out. I tried to turn off and also restart the G4 and turn on again while pressing the "x" botton. However, the same message just kept on popping out. I have read the support session, but it didn't help me solving this proble. Can someone please tell me what I can do about it? Thanks alot!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, jessyco.
See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics.
My FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work through to the end, following the instruction in the order specified, including the "If all else fails..." section if a cause or resolution is not found in an earlier troubleshooting step therein.
Good luck!
