MacBook Air m1 kernel panic

There are times where kernel panics can happen because of the RAM on the logic board being flawed, and Apple Diagnostics doesn't see the flaw.

If you backup your data to an external hard drive, and erase and restore just the OS to the hard drive, and do not attach any peripherals, and still get kernel panics, you know it is something on the logicboard.

Kernel panics can happen due to antiquated kernel extensions, corrupted data on the hard drive, or failing hard drive, or failing hardware, or incompatible peripherals.

No unfortunately I don’t have.

by the way i got a adapted hub and i found a suspicious driver “realtek ethernet driver” and i deleted it.

That was an Apple driver....you can see in the Kernel Panic report (notice the "com.apple" part which indicates it is an Apple driver):

com.apple.driver.usb.realtek8153patcher	5.0.0

The majority of Ethernet adapters seem to contain a Realtek controller chip. So if deleting the driver helped, then it indicates an externally connected device is the real problem.....most likely the hub you mentioned.

>unable to satisfy mandatory allocation

that generally suggests either the multitasking memory is faulty, or the storage is too full.

Do you have an external hard drive you can boot off of that has an OS the Mac supports?

Hi Emily,

Please start a new topic thread. If you test the machine without the hub, and it still kernel panics, run the Apple Diagnostics mentioned in the thread. If the Diagnostics says anything take the results to Apple. Kernel panics are typically hardware issues, and even with logicboard repairs some parts may be faulty. Make sure you know the right power adapter and are using a power surge protector with your power adapter that is grounded (three prongs).

Also, have you run Apple Diagnostics?

Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support

Use the Apple Silicon commands.

The hub could be the culprit. Have you tried to startup the Mac without the hub?

I am having similar issues (panic kernel crashes) after a logic board replacement (2021 M1 MBP) and wonder if you still have any issues. Mine was attached to an Anker USB hub when it failed and would not turn on so I am wondering i that had anything to do with it.

Thank you so much - I did create a new post here 2021 Macbook Pro M1 Hardware Failure and … - Apple Community

My computer was on a surge protector but it was charging with the USBC vs mag charger when it failed.

Yes, Realtek Ethernet is typically just for PCs.
