Kernel Panic after upgrade to 10.15.1

Dear all


I was very pleased with Catalina, but yesterday after upgrading to 10.15.1 I continuously get Kernel Panic on my MP6.1.


Sometimes it happens after wake up from sleep, sometimes after safari browsing.


I have two thunderbolt 2 external raid attached.


Please find below the KP log. Can someone help me reading it?



Mac Pro, macOS 10.15

Turning off BOTH "Power Nap" AND "Put hard disks to sleep" seems to have worked for me. (These are both in System Preferences > Energy Saver).


I haven't actually tried all possible combinations, but:


PowerNap ON/HD Sleep ON →panic occurs

PowerNap ON/HD Sleep OFF → panic occurs

PowerNap OFF/HD Sleep ON → haven't tried yet

PowerNap OFF/HD Sleep OFF → No panic!


FWIW, John

My 2015 27" iMac routinely has the Kernal panic in the morning after doing "whatever it does" at night. No (obvious) crashes or restarts during regular use. The only thing I have connected to it is a USB 3 Time Machine drive. I'm not running any Thunderbolt devices or any Norton products--that I'm aware of. I do not nave power nap enabled--only Put Hard Disks to Sleep When Possible.

Just upgraded to 10.15.2 and see they failed to fix the problem.

Can't let my Mac Mini go to sleep anymore, have to turn sleep off else it reboots EVERY SINGLE TIME, even after a few minutes of sleep.


Tried everything: Power Nap off, HDD sleep off, Network Access off, disable hibernation, deleted hibernation file, turned hibernation back on, SMC reset ... as long as sleep or hibernation is enabled it reboots when going to sleep/into hibernation.


And can't do an NVRAM reset by the way, not even by connecting the Apple keyboard with a cable.


Only thing that seems to help is unplugging everything Thunderbolt but that leaves me with no external data disk, no backup disks and no display-port, only HDMI possible but then I have no HDMI to the TV. I can't remember to read in their marketing you have Thuunderbolt 3 but shouldn't use it.


Calling support is useless as well, you get a genius that only knows two words: "clean install". I fixed five problems myself they recommended clean install for and don't have time to reinstall my computer on a weekly basis.


MacOS Vista is what they should have called it.
