I receved messege: your kernel was failure

Hello
I have debian lenny installed in my PC.
I have it 5,6 days.
I was writing in a forum when I see a messege as: your kernel was failure in the botton right on me screen, and asked me if I want to send it to some page...as kernel...com
I accepted.
But I am afraid of the messege.
I thought Linux is very stable, and I have debian stable, and only 5 days working with this debian and I recive that kind of error.
Any idea of what happend?

We would kind of need to know the entire error message.
The kernel has many modules and it may have simply been a module trying to access/start something that doesn't even exist on your system, therefore failed.
As far as stability for Linux goes, it's unparalleled.
Linux itself seldom or ever fails.
The "addons" such as your window manager, desktop environment, multimedia player etc. do fail on occasion.

How can I know the entire messege.
Is there some logs anywhere to can see them?

Well, where did you see the first message?? I'd say look there again, and get the whole thing. Also, please try to write clearly....

Sorry my bad english.
I try to write as clear as I can.
The first messege I have seen, appears in my screen for 5 seconds.
