Topic: macOS crash kernel panic w latest Firewire drivers

For the RME folks. (I've tried sending crash dumps previously through the RME website but it appears no one is getting them.)

All I did was unplug the USB-C to Thunderbolt 1/2 adapter (which was connected to a Thunderbold to Firewire 800, then Firewire 800 to 400 cable to the Fireface 400) and macOS crashed. Sonoma 14.4.1 with the latest RME drivers (as at today - 29 March 2024).


panic(cpu 1 caller 0xfffffe002808de88): busy timeout[0], (60s): multiple entries holding the registry busy, IOKit termination queue depth 0: 'com_RME_driver_FireWireUserClient' (1,1800001), 'IOThunderboltPort' (1,400001) @IOService.cpp:5770
