I had the same problem with my Power Mac.  Often, but not always, I 
would get a kernel panic when waking up.  (Occasionally it wouldn't 
even get to the point where the screen would turn back on.)

I finally narrowed it down to a stick of RAM that went bad.  After 
removing the RAM, the panics have disappeared entirely.  (I believe OS 
X is more picky about RAM or taxes it more, because the RAM is now 
happily residing in my PC where it even passed the memory test at 
memtest86.com... wish we had something like this for OS X.  My Power 
Mac doesn't even have an Apple Hardware Test CD because it's too old.)

So if USB devices aren't causing the problem (the most likely culprit 
for kernel panics), you might want to check your RAM before going 
through the headache of reinstalling OS X.

Good luck,

Garrett
