I have thuderbay 4 bay with thunderbolt 1, two thunder bay 4 bays with thunderbolt 2, and a Thuderbay 6 with thunderbolt 3 hooked into a Mac Mini M1. Using a Caldigit Dock, each unit is connected into its own thunderbolt port (the two Thunderbay 4 with Thunderbolt 2 share one port.)
If start up the system with the original thunder bay 4 with thunderbolt 1 I get a kernel panic at login and the system restarts. If I leave that enclosure off at startup, all is fine and I can even connect it once booted and it is fine.
I removed and reinstalled the soft raid driver 7.01 using the soft raid apps.
Is my original thunder bay enclosure now dead or is this a software problem?
Please attach a SoftRAID Technical Support file, with all the disks connected.
Also, next panic, "Report to Apple", click "details" and paste the text into Text Edit. "Make Plain Text". Save the file, then you can attach that file now, as it is now a text file.
Files are attached. Thanks.
If you open the door on your enclosure, and remove the two disks for Time Machine, does the system still panic when you connect the drives?
@softraid-support I will give that a try. The Two Time Machine drives are in the 6 bay though and the machine will restart without a panic with the six bay attached and the thunderbolt 1 enclosure detached.
I am just collecting data on this. I found this kernel panic in my lab with Time Machine and a Mac Studio on 13.1, which we reported to Apple.
thanks
