As a newbie I would like to learn kernel debugging.

Given is a kernel panic. I need to know how to
interpret this :

Platform : PowerPC (embedded)


Stopped in pid 68 (mydssrv) at cpu_Debugger+0x18:     
lwz     r11, r1, 0x0
db> trace
0xe9ba8bc0: at panic+1b0

0xe9ba8d10: kernel PGM trap by 0x0: srr1=0x89032

db> show event
evcnt type 2: cpu0 traps = 257457
evcnt type 2: cpu0 kernel DSI traps = 1028
evcnt type 2: cpu0 user DSI traps = 14143
evcnt type 2: cpu0 user ISI traps = 3949
evcnt type 2: cpu0 system call traps = 204248
evcnt type 2: cpu0 FPU unavailable traps = 4904
evcnt type 2: cpu0 FPU context switches = 4780
evcnt type 2: cpu0 user alignment traps = 78

db> show pool
POOLtrap: kernel read DSI @ 0x41820040 by 0x200008
(DSISR 0x40000000, err=14)
panic: trap

Questions :
a) What is a "kernel PGM trap" ?
b) What kind of symptom does this indicate ?
c) "show pool" gave a kernel DSI trap does this mean
that there is corruption of kernel data ?

Any and all help appreciated ?
