I left my MacStudio on today while I was away for a while.
It's a M1Ultra running 13.6.3 (Ventura).
Upon returning, I noticed it would have rebooted with a kernel panic screen logged on the "send report" log screen.
Is there a way to learn what did exactly happen?
Some exceprts from it are up as "Crash log"
Any clues?
Thanks!

Panic reports like this are really meant for engineers, and we users cannot get much from them.
Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
That will give us an idea of possible issues, either hardware or software.

DCPEXT0 PANIC
DCP means Display CoProcessor
EXT0 means EXTernal 0
Most likely an issue with the external display.
Or perhaps another external device is causing a problem which is affecting the external display....sometimes one external device can interfere with another external device. If you use a dock which has a video connector, maybe it is causing a problem.
Did you enable sleep mode on your mini? Do you run your Mac with "Full Security" or "Reduced Security" mode?
Regardless, I suggest the following:
See if the panics return.
Unless you changed it, using the Startup Security Utility, is should be in "Full Security" by default.
The key here is that in this mode, the only kernel extensions that can load are those provided by macOS. Any third-party extensions, including those in the Aux Kernel Collection (/Library/KernelCollection), will not be loaded.
Whereas, in Reduced Security, both sets of extensions would be loaded.
I bring this up because kernel extensions, specifically third-party ones, are one cause for these panics. Hardware failures and conflicts with peripherals are the other two most common reasons.
The logs starts us on a path for troubleshooting.
In the mean time, I suggest that you review these articles to get a better idea on how to move forward with trying to diagnose what the issue that may be causing this.
Ref:
Then most than probable it's in full security.
Hence my fear is it may be a hardware failure and was expecting a hint on where this could be coming from given the fact a m1ultra is everything "soldered" in a motherboard, right?
I'll upgrade to somona just in case.
Thanks and BRB if problem persists.
PS. Could have a power glitch caused this? I doubt it because the Mac is running on a UPS and didn't notice any other device "reset" (I manage a handful of 3d printers which are way more sensitive to power flicks)....
I asume the error log actually provides nothing either in terms of hints right?
Hi,
I'll double-check the security setting as I'm not 100% sure of it right now, thanks.
And as for peripherals that's the only thing I use: keyboard, mouse and eth connection. Hmmm....
I do use a Studio Display but never thought this could lead to issues with a Mac Studio.
Today I'll try out with Somona and see how everything behaves...
Thanks, not sure which app is that but will research and post accordingly.
Kernel crash....finding out why/how?
