We have begun getting kernel bus errors at no consistant address. Can someone help us by interpreting the following?

I see a large number of postings in various vendor-specific groups and
unix-wizards asking substantially the same question:
What is a panic <keyword>?
What does this traceback point at?
What I don't see is anyone posting or publishing a general answer, either
as a table of panics or as a technique using the kernel name- space maps.
I look panics up in the Lyons book, circa v6!. (I generally ignore
mysterious tracebacks as my preferred/only technique is to use adb on the
core file, and I get tracebacks **only** when I'm not saving core
files...).
Would Sun or a consortium of wizards consider publishing a collection of
folklore about panics? Or shall we just start archiving the answers as
they go by (:-)).
