That's a kernel panic. 2 things to try:

Try unplugging all USB peripherals--printers, scanners, etc. (except 
keyboard and mouse)--reboot, and see if the problem goes away.

If you have any non-Apple RAM installed, try removing it and see if the 
problem goes away; out-of-spec RAM can cause panics.

Jaguar information; Randy has a page for Panther as well.)
