Did the screen saver continue animations after you tried to wake up the
computer? Or did it stop and display something else? Or was the screen
static (frozen)?

Are you trying to say that the cursor wouldn't move when you moved the
mouse? 

Did you try pressing the space bar or another key on the keyboard?

Did the computer respond in *any* way to your efforts to wake it up?

There's got to be something in common between the two of them. Often
kernel panics are caused by misbehaving drivers. So perhaps they both
have the same third-party kernel extension installed, or perhaps both
are connected to the same make/model external USB device(s that are
malfunctioning during sleep/wake events). If the kernel is panicking
there should be a corresponding panic log with details about the panic;
IIRC you posted one of them for the other machine...
