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.

That I don't know for sure. One of the two is an internet facing machine that was on 10.14.3; I used the built in updater to update it to 10.14.4. The other one lives on our developer network which is not attached to the internet. It was on 10.14.0 and I used the combo update to update it to 10.14.4. We suspected it might be a firmware issue, but not entirely sure where to begin troubleshooting that.

So I keep getting this kernel panic. Called apple, they said it was my problem. Everything was working fine before updating to 10.14.4... seems to point to apples problem.

After a stable 10.14.4, now 10.14.5 (18F131a) is causing me all sorts of problems. Yesterday I gave up. I couldn't even get to where I could check email etc. on my Mac Pro. Apple really has to sort this out. I know we are on Beta software, but you'd think they sorted out issues as supposed to making them...


Today I left the Mac Pro running when I left for work, and it seems it restarted some 2 hours ago. At least that is what iStat Mini tells me the uptime is.

I'm not taking chance to update now as running smoothly with high sierra. 10.14.4 gave me so much hassles and obviously Apple dont know anything about it. They dont even aware of this issue when I bring my mac pro for issues. They just gave me run around with SSD, Logic board, power supply BS. I spent ton of time and money for their BS and finally settle down with high sierra. Report already filed like a month ago and never get any replies from Apple.
