Kernel panic report on older MacBook Pro running macOS Catalina

From time to time, not every day but with disturbing frequency, when I come to start my computer in the morning I find the message that it was rebooted because of a problem, and I am encouraged to send a report to Apple. I saved the last report from a few days ago, and include the opening "paragraph" here. I have not studied them to see whether there is a common denominator in the nature of the error.


panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff8021a8f27c): Wake transition timed out after 180 seconds while calling power state change callbacks. Suspected bundle: com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily. Thread 0x29d7a9.

Failure code:: 0x00000040 00000027


This comes from a macbook pro running Catalina. Is this something I should be worrying about? Am I about to have the macbook crash on me and have to try and rescue everything in a hurry.


I have saved the whole report just in case

Uninstall the Kaspersky anti-virus by following the developer's instructions. Anti-virus apps, cleaning/optimizer apps, and third party security software are not needed on a Mac. These types of apps usually cause more problems than they solve because they interfere with the normal operation of macOS. macOS has great built-in security especially when the user also practices safe computing habits as outlined in this excellent article written by a respected forum contributor:

For your mid 2012 13 MBP Dual-Core Intel Core i5


what you do not say— is an old issue, a new issue or what has changed all of a sudden...


"From time to time, not every day but with disturbing frequency, when I come to start my computer in the morning I find the message that it was rebooted because of a problem...This comes from a macbook pro running Catalina."



Yes I would start there following HWTech post above —


the rule of thumb

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS


Kernel Panics are predominately caused by hardware faults or faulty third-party kernel extensions.


I will add that I had nothing but issue with Virtalbox when I was running a mid-2012 MBP...


if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates… Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support



Both panic reports point to issues w/ Virtualbox— it could be removing the third party AV would be enough to sort the sleep/wake/restart issue

Is this an Intel mac or a M1, M2, M3 Soc mac you do not say?


Post the entire panic report here in the additional txt box...




include at least 3 separate reports (or what you have) in separate additional txt boxes for ease of reading and comparison.

Sorry it has taken so long to reply. I found that VirtualBox was an old version and first I decided to upgrade it, but later decided that I have not used it for nearly a year and removed it in the recommended way. I'll see what effect that has on my panic problem. I'm not so eager in today's world to trust Apple to keep me safe and remove the Kaspersky. It sounds too reminiscent of governmental assurances that the Covid vaccines are "safe and effective".


If panics disappear, I'll be very happy. If not, I'll learn to live with them.


Finally thanks for your engagement on my problem.


Regards
