The Macbook shows a popup at reboot with the error as stated above.

The device is a MacBook Pro 16" 2019 2,3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9.


What can I do to solve this error?

This may well be a T2 chip error...which would be hardware.


CATERR is a CATastrophic ERRor asserted by the processor.


You can post your Kernel Panic report in their entirety here, preferable three separate reports in three separate "Additional Text" box for ease of reading and comparison, (see menu below.)


A single report may be useful but we are looking for a trend ...


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.

BAD MAGIC - is T2 chip related.


Hardware issues are best resolved over the counter. I would let Apple sort this out...
