Kernel Panic - nothing changed after volume repaired

Question

Hi,
I have Kernel Panic and can only boot up under Safe Mode.
So, a bit of research via this forum, and I inserted the CDs belonging to my nephew to boot up using Mac OS disk as start-up disk.
After serveral tries with "C" key held down, finally got into the page with a nice background, and went on to Disk Utility.
So far so good, proceed to Repair, and the volume repaired.
Re-started, but back to kernel panic screen again.
Someone please help me.
I don't remember having my own CDs that come with the purchase.
My battery is dead so I am using direct AC power permanantly.
I thought problem solved if the volume is repaired.
I can't install using my nephew's installation disk either.
Someone please tell me what to do next. Thx.

Re: "kernal panic" or "gray screen of death"
I've just started having this problem on 2 of my 3 Macs. They are an eMac and an iBook, about 4 or 5 years old. Each is running OS 10.4 My 2 year old iMac, running 10.5, is fine (so far).
I get the gray screen with the instructions to restart (in four languages).
Since it just started happening on two separate computers, I would think that a hardware problem is ruled out (unless it's an extraordinary coincidence). Also, I see a lot of discussion about people having this problem after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Obviously, that's not the case either with these two older computers.
I've just installed a new Airport Extreme and an Apple TV in my house. When I did it, I created a new network rather than reconfiguring the old one. Could that be the cause???
For now, I've zapped the PRAM on each machine and that seems to have helped.
Here's the panic log from the most recent incident:
