MacBook Pro won't restart-Kernal panic

[Planner Dude]

About half the time I try to restart or shutdown my macbook pro, the computer will turn off the monitor and keyboard, but fails to shut down completely. No action short of manually powering it down will help. I noticed this time, when I started my computer I got a kernal panic message:

Anyone have any ideas as what may be cusing this? I am running lepord with all the updates.

Try running Apple's Hardware Test that's on the Installer DVD.
Maybe it'll give you an error code that can narrow the problem down.

Judging from what the panic message says, I'd try starting it up without any USB devices plugged in (if any).

There are no USb or Firewire devices attached to my lappy--just the mbp in the buff

In that case, run a hardware test like the above poster said. Could be that ypur USB went bad, or maybe the drivers were corrupt. The panic lists USB drivers quite explicitly.

So I ran the long test and it said everything is fine

Perhaps you should do an archive and install then. It'll preserve your data.

Which would be better to do--

Archive & install

or

completely wipe the hard drive partion and use time machine to add back my files & programs?

Based on that trace, you have installed DoubleCommand from here:

http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/

Front page there says there is a fix to remedy kernel panics. Otherwise, uninstall it and everything will be fine. Try my suggestion before you wipe the whole thing.
