MacBook Pro 2017 15" kernel panic after going to sleep

Whenever my Mac goes to sleep it crashes with a kernel panic (when I press the power button I am greeted with a message along the lines of "your mac has restarted after a serious problem" or something to that extent.


After a successful boot I see the panic report which always is the same and begins with the lines:


panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff7f8b739fcd): "Failed to quiesce supporting devices\n"@/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AppleACPIPlatform/AppleACPIPlatform-281.70.3/AppleACPIPlatformPower.cpp:1970

The rest of the Panic Report can of course be supplied if required.


The Mac runs macOS High Sierra and I have tried:

  • Disk first aid
  • Reinstall macOS
  • Reset the SMC


but to no avail. Every time the Mac goes to sleep, it kernel panics.


The problems came after I installed the latest security fix from Apple on July 10: Security update 2019-004 (beta for developers) and developer preview of Safari version 13.0, seed 2.

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13

You could try booting form an external device first.

I had these constant kernel panics when sleeping on my machine ("AppleACPIPlatformPower.cpp"). First I thought it could have been an Apple Update as I had Catalina once installed on a second partition of my main SSD. So I remove the partition, did Disk First Aid, PRAM, SMC, reinstalled High Sierra in the hope that it would fix the issue. Nothing.


My next steps:

  • Startup up from a fresh High Sierra on an external USB-SSD drive -> same Kernel Panic when sleeping
  • Startup up from a fresh Mojave on an external USB-SSD drive -> same Kernel Panic when sleeping


After backing up to TimeMachine:


  • Wipe of internal SSD and fresh install of High Sierra -> same Kernel Panic when sleeping


Next: Apple Store. They said they need to replace the mainboard.

Same issue after security update 2019-004, very annoying.

Applied 2019-004 yesterday, now kernel panic EVERY TIME the machine wakes after sleep. No hardware attached...


High Sierra 10.13.6

MBPro 15 inch, 2016

Logic board replaced a year ago b/c it completely quit working. Apple care said they have seen before.

Exactly the same problem -> Kernel Panic after waking from sleep !


Running macOS 10.13.6 on a MacBook Pro TB 15"


This can't be a hardware issue, too many other people are experiencing the exact same issue which can only mean the update brakes something somewhere...


If anyone has a solution please post it asap, I've already tried boot from external drive, and currently trying a clean install...


Jul 24, 2019 2:16 PM in response to MysteryQuest

I checked once more and the EFI Firmware indeed received an update. But it's strange in my eyes that Apple apparently either shipped different code inside a security update that handles the same Firmware differently or that the 2019-004 update has different firmware than the Mojave 10.4.6 firmware. It's annoying you can't restore the firmware yourself these days.


What let me think in the first place that it was a Hardware issue was that the problem occurred with earlier macOS updates on 2017 and 2016 models. I also saw a report with the same kernel panic after a palmrest replacement: https://boards.rossmanngroup.com/forum/board-repair-troubleshooting/44882-2016-17-mbp-w-tb-kernel-panic-after-palmrest-replacement


Are there people that installed Mojave? I will attempt it this weekend if more people say it's successful.

Jul 24, 2019 3:47 PM in response to Fugge

I can confirm that an update to macOS Mojave from High Sierra with the Security Update 004, does indeed fix the kernel panic upon waking from sleep...


Sad that Apple couldn't do this PROPERLY with the 10.13.6 Security Update 004... oddly enough, that 004 update works just fine on my 2008 MacPro running High Sierra using the "macOS High Sierra Patcher Tool for Unsupported Macs".

Jul 25, 2019 6:43 AM in response to ClassicII

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I did a time machine restore to a day prior to my 2019-004 install, and the kernel panics are still occurring:


sw_vers:

ProductName: Mac OS X

ProductVersion: 10.13.6

BuildVersion: 17G7024


so, guessing some firmware? changes bundled with 2019-004 that were applied are not reverted during the restore. If it helps, some more version info:


Hardware Overview:


Model Name: MacBook Pro

Model Identifier: MacBookPro13,3

Processor Name: Intel Core i7

Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz

Number of Processors: 1

Total Number of Cores: 4

L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB

L3 Cache: 8 MB

Memory: 16 GB

Boot ROM Version: 259.0.0.0.0

SMC Version (system): 2.38f7





Jul 25, 2019 6:49 AM in response to mack_user

Yes, a Time Machine restore *DOES NOT* fix this issue. Why? Apple seems to have applied a firmware update to an internal component (T1/T2?) that lets your Mac crash on sleep, no matter what kind/version/lfavor of system (High Sierra, Mojave/..) you are booting of at any later time.


I guess only a firmware update or a mainboard swap can fix this issue. My MacBook Pro is currently at the Apple Store for a mainboard swap.

Successfully updated to Mojave without any sleep panics yesterday after trying countless fixes; SMC, PRAM, booting from a previous clone, re-installing a previous clone, clean install, etc, etc... the only thing that worked for me was upgrading to Mojave - after I re-installed a cloned backup that didn't have any Security or Safari Update applied to it, I upgraded my 2016 15" MBP to Mojave from the latest 10.14.6 full installer. I typically shut the lid ( sleep ) overnight and can verify that it works fine for me. Yesterday I had only performed shorter sleep tests and found it worked.


I also tested a cloned re-install by just 'sleeping' from the menu and found that short ( less then a minute or so ) sleeping worked but anything longer then that minute would immediately set off a panic.


Apple really does need to be held publicly responsible for this fiasco. I've never experienced as many problems with Apple software / hardware ever.

Jul 25, 2019 12:12 PM in response to Fugge

I usually wait a week or more to apply updates, but I was catching up and didn't notice 2019-4 was just released before trying to apply it. The update at first brought me back to a login screen that had a different background and was missing users. After logging in things seemed to be normal, but the updater still indicating 2018-4 was available. Did it not take? With all the flakey things the OS has been doing over the pass few years, I though nothing of it, just another one of those details. So I did it again, after the second try things worked OK. I have no problem with sleeping, but about an hour later Time Machine said there was not enough disk space to backup. It appears for some reason the OS decided that it needed a fresh backup, blew away the previous backups but did not clean up (finder saying the 1.4TB older backups were still taking up disk space but not visible.. as if the trash wasn't emptied... but there were no files in the trash....)


Anyway I probably wouldn't have noticed it, if there were enough space on the drive for two full backups, until I wanted to recover something from months ago.


Perhaps a good reason for using a secondary backup plan. I use CCC so in the end I don't think I lost anything.


So what good is the beta process, if problems are ignored and updates are pushed anyway?
