In general it indicates a major problem which should not occured and because
kernel does not know what it should do in case of this problem, or even
the problem should not be occured, it reports kernel panic.
A good example is the example where the root filesystem cannot be mounted.
Since booting the OS _REQUIRES_ to mount the filesystem it's perfectly clear
that kernel can't continue the boot procedure (since eg running init should
be done from filesystem) so it stops there and indicates the problem with a
message like kernel panic.
This message itself is not too meaningful, you should see another message
as well describes the problem caused the kernel panic.
