MacOS 13.5 was released today.
It fixes the Kernel panic with M2 Studio and 2023 Mac Pro!
feel free to comment.
This should be the final fix for all "DART" kernel panics on M1/M2 processors.
macOS 13.5 (22G74). was released by Apple two hours ago. Please post if this fixes the issues on the M2 Ultra machines.
Yes it fixes this, I have posted in a couple places, and will post as needed. Our support pages will also be updated.
We are doing additional extended testing to be 100% sure all cases are fixed, but I believe they are.
There should be no more "DART" panics of any kind from SoftRAID volumes being connected. Root cause has been found and fixed across thee board, which is a huge relief!
no, I'm still getting Kernel Panics with macOS 13.5 every time I eject the drive, or have software that tries to unmount it on my MacBook Pro 16 M1 MAX.
And of course now I'm out of luck because my now enforced "support plan" for SoftRAID expired 5 days ago.
Not happy.
You will likely always get prompt support on the forum.
We need to see a panic log and a supoprt file.
Please save a SoftRAID Technical support file (Utilities menu) with all disks connected and attach it to your response, so I can investigate.
Next time the system panics, on restart, there is a "Report to Apple" option. click that then "details." Copy and paste that text into a Text Edit file. Save it. Then use the "Make Plain Text" command, so you can attach it here.
I am also having kernel panic issues with OS 13.2.1.. Keeps telling me I need to allow OWC extension but when I do, it rebuilds the extension cache, restarts then reboots 5 or so times and get a panic message and another message saying I need to allow OWC again! ugh
Panic logs need to be attached as .txt using Text Edit (or an app like BBEdit), or it makes the forum unreadable to others.
Upgrade to 13.5. MacOS fixed this crash.
Odd question.. sorry to add it here but this made more sense. I had issues when I upgraded to Ventura as outlined above and throughout the thread. I guess blades and nvme drives were not working and then later, fixed thankfully.
Two questions
1) is it safe to upgrade my Apple M2 Ultra to Sonoma 14.1? As in.. will blades etc all work normally and softraid works great with no kernal panics etc? Like we had when the m2 ultra came out)
2) Has the issue with the drives taking so long to show up if the folder has a lot of files been fixed? I know a solution is to reformat but if you have massives raids as I do, that's not possible unless I buy another massive raid to move files over there while I format the first one. :/
thanks guys
There are no M2 issues with Sonoma that involve softRAID, except rare ones. So yes it is safe to upgrade (no introduced issues)
I think you meant volumes with many files.... I do not know if that was fixed in Sonoma. With HFS, Disk Warrior is around to fix such issues, with APFS, there are no repair tools. I have not personally been able to recreate this, so cannot test it.
