Perhaps this is old stuff to everyone else, but this morning I discovered another LLM super power. ClaudeAI can understand a crash report and explain in plain English.
Here’s the one from this morning.
Let me break this down for you in clear terms:
Your Mac experienced a kernel panic (a severe system error) during a sleep transition - specifically when it was trying to go to sleep. The computer waited 35 seconds for some power state changes to complete, but they never did.
The suspect here is identified as “com.apple.driver.AppleT6000PCIeC” - this is a driver that handles PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express) operations on T6000 series chips. However, there’s an interesting detail here - you mentioned you have an M1 Mac, but this error references T6000 series hardware, which is actually found in M2 Macs. This suggests you might actually be using an M2 Mac rather than an M1.
The error occurred on CPU core 1 of your system (Macs have multiple CPU cores, and this panic happened specifically on core 1). The system was running macOS version 24.2.0, which corresponds to MacOS Sonoma.
What likely happened is:
- Your computer tried to go to sleep
- A hardware component (likely something connected to the PCIe bus) didn’t respond properly to the sleep command
- After waiting 35 seconds, the system gave up and crashed
- This triggered the kernel panic that generated this report
Given your background in technical writing, you might be interested to know that these kinds of sleep/wake issues often occur due to conflicts between power management and peripheral devices or their drivers. They’re usually not indicative of hardware failure, but rather of a temporary communication breakdown between different system components.
Would you like me to dig deeper into any particular aspect of this report? There’s quite a bit more technical detail available if you’re interested in exploring a specific part of what happened.
Here’s the original report
panic(cpu 1 caller 0xfffffe001bedc358): Sleep transition timed out after 35 seconds while calling power state change callbacks. Suspected bundle: com.apple.driver.AppleT6000PCIeC. Thread 0x2d894a4.
