When you have also a ntfs partition mounted, then just try to
switch to the console and simply run
# ksh /etc/daily 
as root, and look if it exits normally.

I posted a same error a couple of days ago, 
because I got a freezed X every night at 0:30am.

the command `boot dump` and man crash(8) will help as
mentioned, if the kernel panics.

And I would just umount any ntfs partition overnight.

Best, Sebastian.
