Q: Post-update kernel panic (10.11.4)
After installing 11.4, I got a kernel panic in the very early phase of startup. Recovery Disk reinstalling OS X did not help. Safe boot did not work. No logs that I could find. I reverted to 11.3 from a backup but is there any thought on how to diagnose / troubleshoot? I tried Disk First Aid to no avail.
This is a mid-2010 Mac Pro system, using an SSD to boot and a physical backup drive, both encrypted. 11.4 does not work, 11.3 does. No RAM issues (used a RAM tester). Everything tests out OK.

In another thread, the system extension SUIDGuardNG was implicated. I removed this and will try again.
