Read If your Mac restarts and a message appears - Apple Support. Follow all those instructions.


KP reports are cryptic and rarely point to a single cause:


"The most likely cause is faulty software. A kernel panic can also be caused by damaged or incompatible hardware, including external devices attached to your Mac."


If you have any peripherals connected to that Mac, disconnect them to determine if they are a factor.
