Mac Mini 2018 Kernel panic bug_type 210 after Security Update 2020-002

Hello everyone,

since installing the Mojave Security Update 2020-002 I do get a message that my Mac Mini 2018 was restarted because of a problem even I shut it down normally. The Mac Mini 2018 was running fine for 3 months. The Apple Hardware Check does not show any errors. Also tried to reset SMC and PRAM.


Is this a known bug? Just curios wether Mac mini 2018 users who also installed Apple's Security Update 2020-002 do see the same error message?


The Diagnostic Report reads as follows:

I am pleased to confirm that BridgeOS firmware version 18.16.12561 fixes the Kernel panic bug_type 210 on a Mac mini 2018.


Solution:

Installing Big Sur on a separate volumes updates the BridgeOS firmware version 18.16.12561. When you reboot back into Mojave you do no longer experience the error message on cold reboot. After 7 months Apple finally fixed the issue. Apple never replied on any of my Bug Reports.


Note: Installing Security Update 2020-006 on macOS Mojave 10.4.6 does not fix the Kernel panic bug_type 210. You have to install Big Sur on external drive prior going back to your Mojave installation.

Having the same issue on Macmini-2018, whenever I put it to sleep or it sleeps itself after being untouched, it restarts in sleep. Don't use Safari at all and Chrome is the default browser...

I took my iMac Pro which is still having the same crash and not even Apple was able to fix this. It is ongoing and to the point where Apple has agreed to replace the unit. There is nothing you can do except to maybe go back to (High Sierra) or forward to Catalina. However on Catalina the issue is not as bad as Mojave because the initial boot is different than that of Mojave. I hope you are able to find a happy medium

I have the same problem with my Mac Mini 2018 after Security Update 2020-002 and nothing seems to solve it!


It's now 3 months since Apple are aware of the issue and no solution other than moving to Catalina. It's like if they try to force us to move to their new OS version :-(


Not a solution for me because every day I use some Applications not compatible with Catalina for now.


Apple need to correct their Security Update! it's not suppose to give us problems!!!

No serious answer by no-one.

It also state that even with the security update 003 nothing is resolved.

I can confirm all that problems: repeated kernel panic with error 210, generated by Bridgeos in Mojave (firmware of T2).

I know it is not the latest system, but I need to remain on Mojave; nevertheless it is not acceptable that a computer update is responsible of such a trouble with the system itself.


Many thanks to all of you, and especially to Apple Computer Inc.

Thanks for sharing my Stackexchange question. I can't believe how much time I have spent on debugging this Mac mini issue. It is still worth sharing on various mac forums!


I am kind of surprise on how Apple seems to ignore Mac mini users. They messed up the T2 chip BridgeOS and simply don't care. I guess this bug will never be fixed. Users should rather invest in a new Mac mini model with their latests Apple processor. I am not willing to spent more money on any Mac mini.

Jul 21, 2020 7:13 AM in response to Tom Binroth

It has not been fixed at startup.

Safari and firmware updated (Safari 13.1.2 and T2 firmware is 17P6065).

Furthermore, for a couple of time I have no problem for sleep (with Safari open), but now, with Safari open or closed, I get the usual message at sleep: bug type 210 at sleep incident made by bridges


I don't know if I can hope in a next update...

I can only say that such a behavior of the system in a machine where Apple Computer Inc. has the full control of hardware and software is absolutely unacceptable.

Its nuts! Every time i leave my Mac unattended for an hour i come back to a restarted computer due to kernel panic. The only way I can leave it is by closing all Applications (except Chrome), then put to sleep. Generally I can wake it up from sleep without any issues then. But step aside to have lunch with multiple windows open, and boom! restarted.

No, the Kernel panic bug_type 210 is NOT related to memory. I have upgraded myself the mac mini to 64GB memory . It was running perfectly fine before I have installed Security Update 2020-002.


I can't believe we are still discussing this issue. I am so glad that I switched Macs and I don't have worry about Apples faulty T2 issues.
