Where does it kernal panic at boot?  Is it the regular kernal panic 
screen, or does it crash in open firmware?
I would say:
Try booting with nothing attached to the computer.
Try booting with only stock RAM (or any possibilities)
Try zapping the PRAM several times.
If all that fails, boot to open firmware (boot with Command-Option-O-F 
held down) and type:
reset-nvram<hit return>
reset-all<hit return>
which should reboot the machine.  If it doesn't reboot the machine 
typing 'bye' (w/o quotes) should help.

This should not do anything negative to your computer.

Hope it helps,
