My 2012 MacBook Air 13 kernel panics when its opened up from a sleep

My 2012 Macbook Air 13 (512/2.0ghz/8gb) crashes (kernel panic) after the SMC update. It crashes when you open it after it has been sleeping for about 8 hours. It does this after it sits for about 8 hours closed (sleeping) on battery and while plugged in. It is easy to replicate, it happens every day when I come in to work and then when I open it to work in the evening. I have submitted the crash report to Apple each time it happens and explained the circumstances which caused it to crash. Anyone else having this issue? I'm on 10.8 and applied the recent SMC update. It never did this on Lion (what it shipped with).

Are there any power nap logs I can check to see if that is causing the issue? Can I disable power nap to try that?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion

As an update, I disabled power nap on battery and also while plugged in and am still experiencing a kernel panic when I open the lid. It does this first thing in the morning at home, and then a few hours later when I get in to work, and then when I'm home in the evening it will usually crash (immediate kernel panic and reboot) when it's first opened.

I checked the proxy configuration like most users were having issues with and my auto discovery settings are disabled.

Any thoughts?

Thanks so much! I hope they fix this soon, it's extremely irritating... and I do use my bluetooth devices all the time, so it's an annoyance to disable the BT functionality as a workaround.

im having the same issue as you zaze. my march 2012 macbook air hang every single time when it try to wake up from sleep mode. it started to happen after i upgrade to mountain lion and then the smc update. i believe is the smc update[power nap specifically] issue, because before that patch the Mountain Lion OS is doing fine[i update the smc patch a week after it was release so i'm pretty sure is tht smc patch issue.

tire of playing around with the config, on this and off tht, it does not help at all and still hang[keyboard not responding , screen hang, sometimes cursur can move but it can do nothing with it].

i need to go through this multiple times a day until i so fed up that i change sleep mode to kick in after it idle for 1 hour.

Hey I heard uninstalling Air Display (if you have it installed) helps the issue. Do you have that installed?
