Kernel Panic after upgrading to 10.14.4

Same here, restored (via time machine, which conveniently shows the os version in the backup list) to .13 and no problems since, except for the annoying nags to update my machine.

I've reached out to apple support on twitter but they have stopped responding to me. I pointed them to this thread, they don't show any indication that they've reported this issue to development or that they have any plan.

I'm very disappointed in Apple support on this issue.

Wise words. For those wanting to walk on the wild side, my Pro was as solid as pre 10.14.4 with 10.14.6 beta 2 today. So my trend was 20 crashes a day to 0. I know this is useless since there's no acknowledgement from Apple or mention of a fix in the release notes, but for those of you that have no copies of 10.14.3, this could be a temporary solution at least.

Guys, Since updating to 10.14.6 B2, I have had NO crashes on my Mac Pro. I have 64GB of OWC RAM, and I used to have them all the time. It worked for a bit to run Onyx maintenance, and if I let the startup process at login for 5 minutes, it usually wouldn’t crash, but now I can log straight in, I run Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Office, iTunes, Chrome, etc. - all at the same time, without a hick-up...

I know people are still reverting to 10.14.3, but you do not need to. I think Apple got it fixed...

I have just updated the final version of the 10.14.6 which had just been released. BOOT ROM updated to 132.0.0.0.0. I upgraded from the original 10.14.

So far I've had no problems, 30 mins going. Knock on wood it will be just fine. I will post update if something comes up.

Upgraded Mac Pro from 10.14.4 to 10.14.6 a week ago. Since then has worked just as expected with no Panics. This is good as 10.14.4 was causing multiple failures.

And today after deciding Mac was stable swapped out the Apple 256GB SSD with a 1TB SSD. Ran with the OWC Aura Pro X2 1TB SSD. So far excellent and can recommend as a way to both storage.

I can confirm I have an apple standard sad and after replacing my RAM a week ago with four 16gb rdimm ram I have had no crashes at all.

To check firmware versions, use:

 menu > About this Mac > (system report) ...

The opening page there has the "Boot ROM version"

Panics like yours in CPU Power Management routine is where many Hardware problems show themselves, but is not an actual indication of power problems.

Unresponsive Processor is a complex multi-Processor and interrupt problem, sometimes including the GPU(s) as Processors.

Today I was told that based on diagnostic information I provided it’s a logic board issue but considering the feedback in this thread, before spending 1k+ to get a replacement I’m going to install a fresh copy of 10.14.3 to see if the issue persists. Sadly that makes my time machine backup useless since it’s from a 10.14.4 machine.

No panics and im on 14.5 i was on 14.6 beta but they were still there so i actually reformatted and made a OSX sierra bootable thumb drive and installed sierra and then upgraded from sierra to Mojave and they all went away have not had one since in 3 days. However after downgrading to sierra there were no panics until i updated to one of there more recent security updates then they came back. So at that point i was like the heck with this minus well go back to Mojave and now they are gone. Im confused more than anything. But happy at the same time

interactiveWebs - the only thing that has worked for me was installing a new copy of 10.14.3 and not upgrading. I know it seems rediculous but if you are able to do that then I would recommend doing so.

Obviously this is not a solution, just a temporary way to get 2013 mac pro users back on their feet. My case w/Apple is still open.

nambrosch - What you just outlined above is exactly the method I used to get 10.14.3 back on my 2013 Mac Pro. It has been rock solid for 3 weeks now - zero issues. I believe it to be the only valid (temp) solution at this stage.

After re-installing 10.14.3 I was able to start working again with no crashes. By no means a solution but a stopgap until a real fix arrives.

My Apple tech has stopped returning my emails where at first they would always respond within a day :(

I can confirm after upgrade to 4 16GB RDIMM mine has been rock solid on 10.14.5. I wonder if it is a problem with UDIMM's on smaller ram sticks?

Wish I could help more but my computer has been transformed to the way it was by the RAM upgrade. I have an Apple SSD.

Extremely unscientific, but I upgraded to 10.14.6 beta 2, and no crashes today running the same processor intensive tasks that killed my Mac Pro with 10.14.5 immediately. My happiness may be premature.

firmware (Boot ROM) revision of 127.0.0.0.0 and above are likely to be correct, but your should compare to your other Mac Pros, if you have more.
