Strange 12.3.1 update

[semac]

I updated Monterey with no problem, however when it came back it brought a headache: suddenly after a few seconds it seems fine, mouse pointer disappears, operation freezes and reboots. Sometimes for the login screen and after the login screen, it is still normal as if there is nothing wrong. Sometimes it reboots completely and then turns into a lottery - if lucky it freezes, goes back to login and it's normal, if not I lose patience. The OC is the latest available and has been well configured following the previous model that worked very well on previous Montereys. Still not understanding what it is, I downgraded the old Monterey ignoring the new update notification while doing college work.

Good evening, my dear MaldOn, where are those ideas of yours? I swear this one was floating... lol

apple changes many things now

use -v with keepsyms=1 and check what cause this problem

[semac]

Ok...

will return later. TKS

[semac]

Hello MaLdOn. The keepsyms=1 was already there in the boot arguments. I put the -v and restarted but apparently everything seems to be normal.

I am also having this exact problem. The computer will login in and then a few moments later restart on it's own.... 

I saw briefly an Unknown CPU error, but  that doesn't explain this issue..... 

I too have both of these boot arguments on.

 

 

The panic is related to this issue, specific to MacOS 12.3.1 update. I did not have this issue with MacOS 12.2.1 at all. Seems like MacOS may be going after select system software. ?

What do you make of this -  

AppleMCEReporter is causing this issue with constant rebooting?  

I was told to add AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext to EFI.  Can anyone else confirm this ?> 

[MaLd0n]

yes

AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext.zip

[semac]

Exactly this error.

MaLdOn what kext is this?
As the friend above wrote it seems to be a problem in version 12.3.1 all others are excellent.

[MaLd0n]

use kext above for disable it

[semac]

Ok I will try

Edited April 29, 2022 by semac

[semac]

Ok I will try

 

Edited:

AppleMCEReporterDisable.kext did not resolve it. The computer no longer restarts but crashes completely and only resets by hand. There must be something else getting in the way. Also his hardware is already quite old. Quite possibly this macOS will be the last one it will support.

[CJW_KOREA]

Can you post a picture of the KP when in -v  (verbose boot) ? 

 

[semac]

There seems to be no problem with the boot. The whole process runs normally. The login is done and already on the desktop, everything runs normally when, suddenly, Monterey freezes. I still notice some disk activity that suddenly stops as well. From then on I am forced to reset to the computer. Previously it restarted almost every time. After I added MaLdOn's kext it stopped restarting by itself but keeps freezing. In -v mode, the entire boot runs smoothly and in normal time.

[CJW_KOREA]

Please post a picture of the message in verbose... or the error that shows after you boot up again.  Display the report. 

the AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext along with e1000=0. and a sudo purge in the Terminal after an NVRAM reset brought my system back from the unusable/partially dead.

 

 

[semac]

Thanks CJW_KOREA. I'll try tomorrow. Here my schedule is late afternoon and I'm going to college. I'll do a fresh install of 12.3.1 on a small HD and send you the system report for you to see. Then I will try these new options you gave me.

  See you later.

I'm using clover on 12.2. Do you think I should stay on it or go back to the OC? I'm more intimate with the last one...
