What's a "kernel panic"?
Apple 知識庫更新了俗稱會出現“四國語言當機”畫面的 kernel panic 說明:
A kernel panic is a type of error that occurs when the core (kernel) of an operating system receives an instruction in an unexpected format, or that it fails to handle properly. A kernel panic may also follow when the operating system is not able to recover from a different type of error. A kernel panic can be caused by damaged or incompatible software or, more rarely, damaged or incompatible hardware.
kernel panic 的畫面會因為您所使用的 Mac OS X 版本,而有所不同。
