e: Restarting the internet stacks (kernel panic)

That's interesting. My mother's having similar problems with a 800MHz 17" iMac. I've (we've) been digging through various logs and all I see is that when she tries to wake from sleep there's an message in the system.log relating to the Firewire bus (which is odd since she has nothing connected to either FW port) and then a panic when she tries to dial in. Her nvram was messed up and the system is spewing the panic to the screen instead of writing the log. I've sent instructions on resetting that but things are still in process. The log at wake is:

Jan 21 12:16:46 localhost kernel: System Wake
Jan 21 12:16:46 localhost kernel: Wake event 0020
Jan 21 12:16:46 localhost kernel: AppleNMI unmask NMI
Jan 21 12:16:46 localhost kernel: rtclock timebase_callback: late old 1000000000 / 24959333 new 1000000000 / 24959236FWOHCI handleSelfIDInt - nodeID not valid (reset bus and retry 1)

I also get panic stuff to the screen and it just scrolls the whole screen up like it was text. Kind of weird to see your windows scrolling up!! Lately I've been getting a gray screen indicating that the computer needs to be restarted and that's it. Something has changed.


Also slightly different from the above is that she also has nothing connected to the Ethernet port. But maybe there is some hidden common pattern.

I have a 17" eMac, but my first thought is that this is not a problem indigenous to any particular hardware type (hopefully).

I also wanted to add that I don't have anything connected to the FireWire, but I do have an HP USB Printer/Scanner, which is usually off. If I toggle the power while the computer is asleep, it seems to know enough to wake up when something has changed on the USB bus.

I was hoping there is a daemon like inetd or something I could restart to avoid a panic, but I guess I will just start shutting down at the end of the week.
