Kernel panic on new MacBook Pro 16 (can be related to T2)

I'm having random kernel panics on my new MBP. First time it occurred the external monitor was connected, the second time no devices were connected.

Here's the part from log message:


Is there any solution for this? Is it a hardware or software problem? I'm really disappointed because these kind of things should not happen on $3000+ device.


Thanks in advance for your help,

Ruben

That’s not an EtreCheck report. That is an EtreCheck crash report. It looks like your report was too large and you ran out of RAM. That’s not good.


If you are having problems, then you should definitely uninstall any 3rd party kernel extensions, regardless of whether you think they could be related.


What you are seeing are bridge kernel panics. Those are a slightly different thing. The embedded version of iOS on the T2 chip is crashing. If you continue to get these kernel panics after uninstalling Sentinel One, then you probably have a hardware fault of some kind. You mentioned you had an external display connected. For kernel panics, external hardware is the same as kernel extensions, you have to keep them disconnected. Then, if you continue to have panics with no other cause, it must be a hardware fault. My point is, don’t automatically assume the problem is with the $3000 device when it is more likely the $20 software or hardware device.

Kernel Panics are predominately caused by hardware faults or faulty third-party kernel extensions.



If your Mac spontaneously restarts or displays a ... - Apple Support

You can post your Kernel Panic report in their entirety here, preferable three separate reports in three separate "Additional Text" box (see menu below) for ease of reading and comparison. A single report may be useful but does not establish a trend for a meaningful diagnosis.


Kernel Panic reports can be found /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

From the Finder>Go>Go To Folder, copy and paste:

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports


ends in .panic post the whole report.

Maybe that's the reason:

System uptime in nanoseconds: 420954379429085

But first time I had kernel panic before loading this extension

I have only one kernel extension and I was experiencing panics even before I installed it.

Also, in case this can help, I'm attaching EtreCheck report:
