Hi Mark,

I just tested the new snapshot from today.
And it works perfectly now with my MacBook Air 6,2!
I also then tested my iMac 14,2 which has the same problem.
And the iMac now also works just fine.
No kernel panics anymore.

Thank you so much again.
Have a nice weekend.

Kind regards,
Michael
