If you get them all the time, for no apparent reason, then I have to 
reverse myself and say it probably is bad hardware.  For some reason 
I assumed you were talking about a one-time panic or something tied 
to specific usage patterns.  The 2.4 series PowerPC kernel port is 
mature enough that it shouldn't panic in general use.

The most likely suspect would be RAM.  If the RAM is good another 
thing to look at is the CPU.
