![]() ![]() Go to the Start 5D page and download the appropriate firmware file for your Drobo product (a zip file for the PC or a dmg file for the Mac), saving it to a folder that is not located on your Drobo 5D. To manually update the firmware from the website, take the following steps.ġ. So it's something the Catalina install did that seems irreversible.Manually Updating Firmware from Drobo Website The crashes also occured on a new install of Mojave (10.14.6) on this machine on a different boot volume. When i'd exhausted all that it turns out taking that drive out of play solved the problem. In my troubleshooting I was able to rule out software, the internal SSDs, the ram, and all the peripherals. For now am continuing my work just using a USB drive. I haven't tested another thunderbolt drive yet. MAYBE the drive was just about to die anyway and it's a coincidence. Catalina did something that borked this drive or did something to the thunderbolt controller that the drive doesn't like. ![]() Long story short it was the OWC thunderbolt 1 drive. The next morning (I updated it in the evening) the machine started having constant kernel panics (iMac locks up.black screen.reboot saying the system encountered a problem). So iMac was working fine on Mojave and I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to Catalina 10.15.5. Also lots of other usb peripherals and a second monitor with a usbc-dvi setup. I'm a video editor and have an older external thunderbolt 1 drive for my media (OWC Mercury Elite Pro Duo) hooked up to the mac via apple's usbc to thunderbolt adapter. I had a fully functioning computer running Mojave 10.14.6. I attach the latest Etre-Check report.Ģ017 iMac kernel panics after Catalina upgrade I just want to document my issue here in case some people have the same problem. I have put a lot of time into trying to fix this thing, and if you can help me, I will be grateful. During the restart, it hung, and crashed again. I "exhaustively" ran Etre-Check, fixing everything I could, and restarted. I noticed while I was doing all this that the machine ran without crashing for much more than 10 minutes, which was about how long it was going between crashes before. I installed only essential apps from the App Store and online. Also, I restored some files from a Carbon Copy Cloner backup from a few days ago. ![]() I restored some missing files from Time Machine - when I went into it I could access and see backups from yesterday and today. Also, the name of the machine in System Preferences/Sharing was wrong. ![]() Yet, after completion, the date shown for the last Time Machine backup was not today, but January 17. I used the Migration Assistant, and the drive with my recent Time Machine backup was the only external device connected. My first step was to read the Apple support document for machines that restart all the time, and do what I could to follow that advice.īecause it had old 32 bit apps and other incompatibilities, today I backed it up to TimeMachine, booted into Recovery Partition, erased the boot drive, downloaded the latest Catalina, booted, signed in, and then things began to not go well. I've been using Etre-Check, but I've not solved it. New MBP crashes all the time Catalina I have newish MBP 15,2 from January, 2020, and it crashes more often than all the computers I've ever used added together. ![]()
