Kernel is the most significant and central component of Mac OS X operating system. It is responsible for offering the introductory services for all parts of Mac operating system. The features of Mac kernel include offering low-level of abstraction layer for all the resources and handling system resources. However, sometimes you may encounter Kernel panic situations in Mac OS X. It is a state when the Kernel can not handle the instruction, which it receives in an unexpected format from the system. This behavior may lead to data loss and need Mac Data Recovery to be handled.
When a system error occurs, but Mac OS X operating system can not handle it or recover from it, Kernel panic occurs. It may take place due to both hardware and software issues. Mac OS X operating system indicates the kernel panic is various forms of the strange system behavior and error messages. Following is the one such error message that occurs in Mac OS X Leopard:
