Kernel panic on 2018 Mac mini

Hey all, I was able to solve the crash on sleep issue, although my solution probably isn't ideal.

After creating a new partition and installing Catalina on it, I found I had the same issue still, so I tried to restore my device to a time machine backup pre-security update. This restore failed and left my computer essentially bricked.

To even be able to access internet recovery I had to restore the firmware on my Mac mini by connecting a 2019 MBP via USB-C and running Apple Configurator on the laptop. Apple has instructions detailing the process here https://support.apple.com/sq-al/guide/apple-configurator-2/apdebea5be51/mac

The restore process will wipe your HD, which was fine for me since it was inoperable anyway. Once restored, I was able to access internet recovery and download Mac OS, although, by default, it downloaded Catalina. I just took the plunge and stuck with the upgrade, however perhaps its possible to install 10.14 at this stage as well with a boot-drive, or downloading and partitioning your drive later, I just haven't tested it.

It seems the shutdown problems stemmed from a bug or corrupt line of code in the Bridge OS (since the T2 controls sleep and shutdown, its possible that trying to communicate these features from the T2 Bridge OS to the x86 processor created fatal errors.) From what I understand, Apple Configurator is the only way to reset the firmware of your device, which I have a feeling may involve reinstalling the Bridge OS as well.

Anyway, this is my solution, my Mac mini has operated as intended for the past 3 weeks now. Hope this helps!

Olá

Você jé tentou, pressionando as seguintes teclas, em um teclado a fio:

• Reinicializar o SMC? (Option-Command-P-R)
• Iniciar o mac em modo "Safe"(Shift)?
• Iniciar o mac em modo "Verbose" para gravar em video o process de iniclaização? Assim vc pode ver se tem alguma outra mensagem de erro.

my brand new Mac its shooting down. in the past 3 month, probably 15 times. apple support told me, they need to replace the logic Plack * placa Logica* all this happens in Brazil. do you Think this its the solution.

Hello,

Macintosh models with a T2 chip (such as the Mac mini 2018) also run a secondary operating system called Bridge OS. This exclusively runs on the T2 chip and communicates with macOS to perform various tasks that the T2 chip is responsible for. It appears that Bridge OS has crashed. Is this problem persistent or was this a one time occurrence?

I was getting this error on MacBook Pro. After replacing twice, the 3rd machine worked OK. It's been almost a year since I had this problem. Now I've had ii twice in 2 days! It happens after a long sleep. Thankfully it isn't happening during the day when I'm working. I remember the days when you could trust Apple. Lately they have been having a lot of problems with software updates.

The may update (2020-003) didn't help for me, I'm still experiencing the same issues (Mac mini 2018 10.14.6). In addition, I just added a volume to my drive and created a secondary install of 10.15.5 to see if Catalina would have the solution, and again I'm still dealing with the kernel panic after falling asleep bug.

On Wednesday, 7/15 new updates appeared: Security Update 2020-004 10.14.6 and Safari 13.1.2. These are the two categories of updates that I applied a few months ago that initiated the crashing on my Mac mini with T2. Hopefully, these updates will fix the issue.

At about 8 AM this morning (Fri. July 17) I installed the latest Security Update 2020-004 on my Mac Mini 2018. I shut it down and went to get groceries. I started it up about 1 hour later, AND THE BUG AND KERNEL MESSAGE GREETED ME.

It is not fixed.

Is Apple now prioritizing bug fixes based on product sales statistics? Are the products with small markets not even important enough to fix bugs? Bugs the Apple has installed into our Macs? I'm so disheartened that Apple has treated us like this.

I only get the Bridge Kernel Panic notice after a cold boot. I don't always get it after restarting the computer. I got the panic message this morning even though I haven't been using Safari. I rarely get the panic message since switching to Firefox.

I am having the same issue as well.
