Q: Kernel Panic?
Can someone tell me why I got a Kernel Panic? I picked up my computer while it was on AC, the bottom was warm. Opened the lid, and it was a black screen (no display). I had to hold down the power button to shut it down.
The only thing I can think of that has changed in the last few days is I installed the update to El Capitan 10.11.6. Otherwise, no issues to be had. I believe this is the first kernel panic I've ever had on this Mac in the last year or so I've had it.
Any ideas? Thank you, in advance.

Curious though. Could a dodgy AC adapter, or perhaps a MagSafe 1 with a MagSafe 1-2 Adapter cause a Mac to fail to wake, or possibly kernel panic? I had a flaky MagSafe 1-2 adapter replaced by Apple about two weeks ago, no problems since but curious if it left some residual issue behind.
I would say unlikely. The only complaint I've seen about power supplies is that they will not charge the Mac.
Any other issues would most likely affect the power regulator logic on the motherboard, and that should not cause a panic, on in your case Signal 9 being sent to launchd.
Having 3 year AppleCare gives you at least another 2 years if something goes wrong. But if this happens again, do not live with it, have your Mac looked at.
