The only thing I changed in iPhotot is I told it not to move the files into the iPhoto Library.

ilife and iwork are sold separately. But ya I see there's a patch for iphoto. I'll try that thanks!
EDIT: Updated iPhoto to 8.0.1 and still got a kernel panic.

Apple released updates for ilife09 and iwork09, you should try them first.
It's not very clear in the picture but it looks like you're having problems with some kexts. Are you running in 64 bits mode? if not, that 4gb of ram may have something to do with the crash. Anyway, you should try the patched kexts for the disks controllers made by slashack. Link ↗
Ah, it clearly mentions 32-bit mode being unable to access some RAM. At least, that's what I'm gathering from that screen.
Try maxmem=2048 at the Darwin prompt. At least that will rule out the RAM.
