If you haven't already, try resetting PRAM.  I had a similar problem a
while back with HWDIRECT (or I think it was an offshoot of those) kernels
and a PowerBook, and resetting PRAM fixed it, but it would pop back up
every few days/weeks (rebooting between NetBSD and MacOS regularly, of
course).  I don't use the machine anymore, since it blew a... P channel, I
think... MOSFET on the motherboard, an IRFR 9020.  BTW, if anybody knows a
good source for those...  ;-)

Not sure if that will help or not, but it's worth a shot.
