OS X Yosemite - Kernel panic

I had the same problem with my Mid 2007 iMac. I tried everything from making a bootable USB to verify and repair disc and any other suggestion. I would get constant computer shut downs...totally random. Checking the system logs it was showing something that it was searching for files in eBooks and could not find files. Guess it gets stuck in some sort of loop looking for something until it finally shuts down. I got so frustrated trying all sorts of things that I erased my hard drive and went back to Mavericks via my Time Machine backup. Working like a champ! I was blaming the fact that this is the oldest iMac that can take the upgrade, but maybe it really can't! I'll be sticking with Mavericks.

It feels more like a public beta rather than a final version. I'm pretty sure that Apple have solved all this issues before pushing Yosemite live. Right now they testing OS on a bigger scale to be able to solve more bugs. They have an update, and I'm pretty sure it's coming soon.

And it keeps crashing... After clean install through Apple server.

Forgot to note that this same issue described above is consistent between two new retina MBPs. First one was swapped out by Apple genius thinking it was the SSD, but still happens with the second one. …

I update from Maverick.

During installation the machine going to Kernel Panic.

I restart machine with CMD-R and make disk test, it's ok. I running reinstall, after a lot of time I make login and post installation start, but don't finish. Post installation go in loop. So I restart again with CMD-R, I move my $HOME from /Users/my_home to /Users/my_home.save, and restart post installation.

Now it's go finish.

I make a new administrator account, login with new administrator, In the /Users I delete the new home directory and restore to move my_home.save to the my_home.

Now all works fine.

So, my solution to this, which may not be relevant to some/most, but involves the removal of unnecessary PGP Encryption software...

1) Booted in verbose mode (CMD+V)

2) Noticed on the screen that it was getting hung up just after mentions of a PGP Drive Encryption driver. (It's an ex-work laptop that used to have encrypted drives, but I saw an end to that a while back, so my disks aren't actually encrypted anymore)

3) Rebooted into recovery mode (CMD+R)

4) Opened a Terminal window from the Utilities menu, and then followed these steps to remove PGP entirely from the system. NOTE the warning at the top of this page - don't remove PGP if your disk is still encrypted!!! Skip the killall commands, they're not relevant in this scenario.

Note also that you'll need to mount the HD volume first, or add '/volumes/<volume name>' at the front of each of those paths, e.g. Mine was '/volumes/Mac HD/'

http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/display/istcontrib/Manually+Removing+PGP+Desktop+fr om+Mac+OS+X

I found *most* of those files still existed on my Mac so I removed them, but a few in that list were missing, so I just skipped over them.

5) Reboot. And voila! I was back into the installation process, finishing my migration and then taken to the MacOS X login screen. Fixed!

Hope that helps one of you out there. I've been battling with this for over a week now, so glad to finally find a fix :-)

Installing Yosemite on Mid 2010 MBP. Same kernel panic when the installer restarts.

At least you can get your machine back by booting your current system, rather than the installer upgrade:

- Hold down the power button until everything stops

- Press the power button and immediately hold down the option key. Keep holding the option key.

- Get a list of hard disks

- click the up arrow under "Macintosh Hard Disk"

A regular startup will try to launch the installer partition which kernel panics. This way you can keep using your mac.

We do need to figure out how to fix the installer partition so our machines will boot normally again.

I got same kind of kernel panic problem. After Yosemite upgrade my Mid-2011 MacBookPro run nicely for few days and after that rebooted on it's own and kept giving Kernel Panic error and rebooting automatically. Restored from Time machine and the macbook run again nicely for few days. Yet again today got the Kernel panic and reboot loop. After some tinkering maybe got the problem fixed by following steps:

1. Boot to safe mode

2. Remove Avatron Air Display (Applications -> Utilities -> Uninstall Avatron AirDisplay)

3. Reboot

Do you have Avatron AirDisplay installed? Try booting to Safe mode and see if it shows you the report of latest kernel panic and the failing kernel extension there.

Yes, there must be an issue with Yosemite. Also upgraded my Macbook Pro from Mavericks and although the upgrade went well, since then hardly a day passes without a kernel panic. Have never had this with Mavericks, Lion or Snow Leopard.

Just got another kernel panic on my 08 mac pro when waking from sleep. I thought my problems were fixed but it appears the Nvidia driver did not fully resolve my Yosemite problems.

Like you, never had restarts(kernel panics) like this with any other version of OS X.

Just anecdotal info here:

MBP 15" late 2011 2.4Ghz and I've now had 4 kernel panics over the last couple of days since the upgrade to Yosemite, mostly but not always when waking from sleep. Sometimes it's already crashed when you open the screen. Tho' just a few minutes ago it panicked and all I was doing was scrolling slowly thru a web page in Safari. Rebooted itself. Really not a big enough sample to say for sure but the machine seems most stable if I just leave it running and never close the screen.

Right now I can't recall even one panic the whole time (about 10 months) I was using Mavericks, tho' it panicked from time to time under both Lion & Mountain Lion.

Same problem with my Late 2011. My install went fine. Restored my backup from my Time Machine (which for some reason took 17 hours vs. the 8 hours for Mavericks 1 day earlier). But, just now, for some reason, while watching streaming video, my computer shut down, tried to reboot once, and then did it again. Second reboot worked. Once rebooted, I got all the same error messages listed here.

FYI, I just got my computer back last week from Apple repair, where they replaced my entire logic board, RAM and battery. I then replaced the RAM with brand new 16GB Crucial RAM (from the Samsung 4GB they installed). So my CPU, GPU, graphics card, RAM and battery are brand new.

I have the same problem on my external SD when running Yosemite, launchd restarts my computer into Snow Leopard for some strange reason. I use the built-in SD card reader with a 64GB PNY StorEdge as a Secondary Boot Partition. It's a little bit slow although the random-access read speeds are EXTREMELY high (much higher speeds than a 7200-RPM drive).

I can't take this. It boots on its own; Safari keeps freezing; Mail randomly doesn't recognize established servers and passwords for linked Google accounts; my Lightroom catalog now can't backup. I am going back to Mavericks. Yosemite is broken - first time I've ever said that about an Apple OS...and I've been using MacBooks since 2009 and iPhones since 2007. The innards of my computer are brand new. I shouldn't be having these problems.
