Kernel Panic after upgrading to 10.14.4

I recently updated two 2013 Mac Pros to 10.14.4 and immediately they started having kernel panics after about five minutes. It even happens in recovery mode. I eventually swapped hard drives with another Mac Pro that hadn't been upgraded, and it seems to run stable there. The hard drive without 10.14.4 seems to be running fine in the machine that was panicking. Currently I've at least got one machine up and going, but it's frustrating. Anyone else ran into this problem?


The panic I'm getting can be seen at this Github gist. It seems to always be a different process, and sometimes the panic message is slightly different, but it always seems to be some form the NMIPI for Unresponsive Processor panic.

Mac Pro, macOS 10.14

I have swapped my 64GBs of aftermarket RAM with the same amount of OEM Apple RAM borrowed from another Mac Pro. So far so good after 24 hours.


I have also upgraded to 10.4.6, but I am more inclined to believe that it is the OEM RAM that is making things more stable. It would make sense that Apple tests their OS with mostly stock hardware, and some odd bug fell through the cracks and is hitting systems with aftermarket RAM/SSD.


I will circle back if anything changes. By the way, the donor Mac Pro is currently running El Capitan with my original aftermarket RAM, no issues to report.
