[G4] Kernal Panic, then crash

Well, it happened to me. While I was importing music from a tape into my QS, 
the Qs had a kernal panic (text on screen) and said it was waiting for the 
debugger, or some such thing.I waited a few seconds to see if something would 
happen. I shut it down using the front power button, and rebooted. It ran for a 
minute or so, and then just powered off. I wrote this and then tried to import 
the music again, but after about 20 minutes a black dialog box popped up 
telling me I needed to reboot the computer.

So, should I have waited for the computer to do something after the KP? Is 
there some way to see (a log perhaps) what caused the KP and/or shut down or to 
see what causes it in the future? I normally leave my QS on all the time in a 
room at about 72 degrees temp, and usually have a number of programs booted 
up, including classic. Occasionally Firefox quits, and I just assumed that it 
was caused by classic running.

I'm running 10.3.9 on a QS with 1.5 Gigs ram, dual 1.8GHz upgrade card, PCI 
SATA card and drive and a FW/USB 2.0 card.
