I have gotten a strange error that has no error messages. All it says is that I must restart my iMac and that I should report this bug to Apple (which I have done both times). I wonder if anyone else have gotten this error. So have anyone?
I agree, your machine is way too new for kernel panics. KP's can be from silly little permission problems to major hardware malfunctions.
Before you update to 10.4.8 do this:
Reboot in Safe Mode (hold down the Shift key) this will empty out system and font caches, you won't even notice.
Run Disk Utility --> Repair Permissions
Reboot with the Install CD, hold down the 'c' key. The system installer will launch, ignore it, choose your language, English is handy, go to the Menu bar to Utilities and choose Disk Utility, run Repair Disk.
Then reboot normally and download the 10.4.8 System update.

1. What programs were you running when it happened?
2. What model of Mac do you have?
3. What OS are you running?
4. How much memory do you have in your Mac?
If you needed to restart, you might have suffered a kernel panic.
Google 'Kernel Panic mac'.

It would help a lot if you gave more info.

#1. None. My computer was just on, when I came home, it had that message.
#2.iMac Intel (32-Bit Core Duo)
#3.Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.4)
#4.1GB RAM
And I will Google that :-D
What external devices did you have connected at the time?
My Printer, My Microsoft Mouse. Thats it.
And it seems I had a Kernel Panic. Oh well.

G'day
Two kernel panics, with nothing running, on a new(ish) iMac is a bit suspect.
First thing I'd do is update to 10.4.8, and if you still get the kp's, you've probably got a hardware problem.
Get it fixed if it's still under warranty.
