OS X Yosemite - Kernel panic

However, that got me to the screen hanging at 50% issue. I booted into recovery and ran Disk Utility and it told me that the hard drive didn't have a correct count of files or directories. I booted into single user, CMD-shift, and ran fsck -fy twice and that fixed things. I was then able to reboot and have the Yosemite install complete.

Man you cannot believe how thankful I am. I've got a MBP mid-2011 13' and I have been trying to find a solution for the kernel panic cycle for three days and yours worked!!! I've rebooted from shut down and restart 2 times already without any problem, never been able before the upgrade from mountain lion to yosemite. I hope it really was the Avatron Air Display. Once bitten... 😉 But so far so good!

Today, I left my iMac at the login screen, and watched. Within two hours it rebooted 4 times and in each case it wasn't even logged in. No one was using the computer, and no apps were running (except Time Machine). This leads me to believe it is some system service that is failing, but I have no idea which one, or how it is causing the OS to restart?

I'm going to say this while knocking on wood, I installed the Yosemite 10.10.2 Beta yesterday. Right after the install I had a freeze/lockup and had to reboot. However, since that time (many hours passed now) I have not had a reboot back to login. Even sitting overnight. The description of the fixes in the beta did not mention anything about fixing the lockup, freeze, or reboots problems. For now, at least, it appears to remain solid. I am holding my breathe, however, and will wait to see how long it stays up, but this is the first day I encountered a wake up screen, instead of a login screen from a reboot.

For those in this forum, I suggest you install the public 10.10.2 Beta and see for yourself, if it helps.

I have been having the exact same problem with kernel panics since upgrading to Yosemite on my 2013 MacBook Air. I diagnosed it as being an Avatron issue and deleted everything I and MacKeeper could find related to Avatron, but there was still some "com.avatron...." thing causing the panic. So I thought, "instead of trying to get ride of Avatron and Air Display, how about doing a new install of it on my new Yosemite system." I downloaded a fresh Air Display installer, installed it, and I haven't had a single problem since! I didn't even have to uninstall the new Air Display; it just sits there not bothering anything. Yay!!

After weeks of fighting the reboot/panic problem. I backed up my data and went back to Mavericks. Have had no issues with Mavericks. I had to sacrifice iCloud drive for my iMac. This is not good, but at least it is now a useable computer. I will not upgrade it to Yosemite until they do a non-beta, final release for 10.10.2 to be sure it is really fixed, and I want to see it mentioned in the release notes too. Apple has made no acknowledgment to any problems with Yosemite reboots or panics. This is scary.

With 10.10.1, I discovered that with a Thunderbolt drive connected and Bluetooth turned on, my Mid 2011 27" Mac would regularly encounter wake from sleep failures. Error dumps have been sent to Apple with comments.

I installed 10.10.2 last night hoping that the above would be fixed. It isn't. Indeed if I now eject and power down the TB drive it causes a reboot/kernel panic. So 10.10.2 had made things worse for me.

I work in an Apple Authorized Service Center in New Zealand and I have several year working with Apple products, I have a Mac Pro 2009 4.1, 8 Cores 2.26.

I ran 20 Loops of ASD, EFI and 20 Loops OSX. Computer is 100% fine. Works perfect with Mavericks, If I install Yosemite to it, Kernel Panics all the time, specially restarting. Non of my Technician partners have a clue why is doing this...

I miss Steve Jobs.

when apple says 2, it means wait for the sounds to chime twice, not the number of chimes per time.... you have posted about P-Ram...the best way to tell if you need to reset your pram is if there is NO chime when starting up....

Hi, I am currently running a Mid-2012 MBP with version 10.10.2 (14C109) of Yosemite.

Could anyone help me with this one.

I have tried

-Reseting NVRAM/PRAM

-Uninstalling suspected apps

-Cleaning caches

-Verifying disks

-Reinstalling Yosemite

-Memtests

-Stress Tests etc.

I thought the basis of the fault was mdworker (spotlight) from the CPU readings in the Activity Monitor but then Google Chrome helper and other apps started using up higher CPU (I believe google chrome helper is a different problem anyway)

Eventually I gave up trying to fix it because I had planned on replacing the HDD with a new Crucial M550 SSD. I swapped these out at Christmas and placed the HDD in place of the optical drive. Everything booted fine and the mac was back to normal and a lot faster. Three weeks in a kernel panic occurred again and I have been trying to get to the root of it since. Then early last week the whole system crashed and I had to start fresh. I reinstalled the OS with a version on the SSD and the HDD as backup. I re-installed the apps I need (After Effects & Premiere Pro) and got back to work. This morning it has crashed consistently everytime I start using Premiere Pro, even with no other apps open. I dont know if I need Trim with the SSD, if its spotlight thats causing it, maybe an unnecessary app.I really need help with this because I have to meet deadlines. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have logged all reports to apple but here is the latest one from yesterday.

THANK you for this post! I had upgraded my Macbook Pro to Yosemite last week, and had no problems at first, but suddenly today when I restarted, it went into endless rebooting and kernel panics. I saw your post and uninstalled AirDisplay, and now it appears to be OK. I'm just wondering: was this a permanent fix for you, or did the rebooting/kernel panic problem come back?

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro Yosemite keeps getting kernel panics every time I boot. Any help will be highly appreciated.

I had the same issue with my 2011 MacBookPro. After numerous attempts at resolving the issue by repairing the disk and disk permissions (many many problems were reported) and by removing all traces of PGP Disk Encryption Desktop to no avail, I tried a clean install, booting from a Yosemite Installation USB stick that I had prepared earlier (see http://www.macworld.com/article/2367748/how-to-make-a-bootable-os-x-10-10-yosemi te-install-drive.html - Option 1). This worked OK - but not entirely. I selected to use File Vault and my system ran extremely slowly but I suspect/hope this was due to background encryption. I then tried a reboot from the built-in HDD and the system held permanently at 50% during the boot load process. This problem was cured (thanks to DlacVal) by clearing the NVRAM (boot with Cmd+Alt+P+R) then rebooting in Safe Mode (boot with Shift) then rebooting normally. I came very close to giving up and reverting to Mavericks but was persuaded by the new GUI features. Biggest lesson for me was to prepare a full Time Machine backup on Mavericks before attempting the upgrade. More to the point, however, Apple Macs used to be the world's most intuitive PC - not any more, which is a crying shame!

Removing PGP drivers did not help, but it's always a good idea to remove disk-level drivers before any update.

To fix my panic loop on installation, I booted to recovery mode, ran Disk Utility, repaired disk permissions and verified the disk. Then restarted, zapped PRAM, unplugged all external devices, ejected a CD that was in the drive, and now it's starting.

So… one of those things did the trick. Shame on Apple for this bug still not being fixed.

I started getting the random reboots about two months ago. I have a Mid-2010 15" MBP. The problem is not caused by Yosemite... I was running Mavericks when the rebooting started, but it continues after I upgraded. My hard drive is encrypted with FileVault.

I'm going to try resetting the memory to see if that helps.

Hard to tell, but I wonder if encrypted hard drive is a common denominator for everyone having this problem.
