Hi, I can confirm this is a specific bug with the macOS 11.6.2 update because the exact same kernel panic happens on my M1 MacBook Air. The steps I take to reproduce it are to plug in an external drive formatted with APFS, then disconnect it. When the computer wakes up from sleep afterward, it kernel panics 60 seconds later. This did not happen until updating to 11.6.2. Every version prior was perfectly fine, so it is an introduced bug.


rainer114, does this sound like your situation?

Here is a little manual to eject your external disk drive with "one-click":


Detect the drive you want to eject. Open Terminal, type "diskutil list" and press enter.

Choose the given device. In my case: /dev/disk4


Now create a new shell script file

touch eject


Edit this file

nano eject



Press the button control ^ + x and save the file


Make this file executable

chmod a+x eject


Now you can move this file to your Desktop with "Finder" and you can execute by double click on it :)

rainer114,


Thanks for letting us know. The numerous steps in the previous articles can help isolate if the issue is software or hardware. Can you tell us all the steps you've taken? That way we aren't providing any that have already been done.


Have you noticed that you are doing a certain task when the kernel panic happens? For example, using an app, opening an app, so on. Knowing his can also help isolate what might be going on.


Take care.

I did:

  • Mac restarted
  • All Software is up to date
  • OSX is latest Patch of Current Release
  • Start in Safe Mode
  • Reinstall OSX
  • Check Hardware / RAM
  • Check peripheral devices for update
  • disconnect all peripheral devices and do all of above again


This take me a lot of time, with actually NO effect...


hopefuly next steps are a bit more issue orientated than this "solutions"
