Hi,

It's caused kernel panic on your MacBook Air. Try to startup in Safe mode and see if it doesn't get kernel panic.

Use safe mode on your Mac – Apple Support (AU)

If it doesn't help and if your MacBook Air has intel processor, try to reset SMC as well as NVRAM and see it doesn't cause kernel panic.

Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support

Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

If it doesn't either, reinstall macOS with Recovery mode and see if it doesn't see kernel panic.

Use macOS Recovery on an Intel-based Mac – Apple Support (AU)

Which exact model is your MacBook Air? What version of macOS is it running? Did you make any changes to this laptop BEFORE it started to kernel panic?


The screen shot you provided does not include the full report. As such, it will be difficult to assist you with a potential solution.


... and, just to be clear. This happens immediately after you power up this Mac ... correct? ... and, there is no difference if you boot it up in either Safe or Recovery mode ... correct?
