Yvetta - there may be cases where zapping the PRAM or repairing 
permissions will resolve a kernel panic issue, but I have had a case 
where it was a problem inherent in the configuration (it was the use 
of a PC card [ISDN card] that was not correctly handled by the OS) 
that was only solved at the next incremental OS upgrade.
