Anyone know what is causing this Kernel Panic?

[rovostrov]

Hello,
I have been getting the below kernel panic the last few weeks. I am hoping someone with more knowledge might know how to decifier and tell me what the cause might be. Thanks in advance for any help!

panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff7f86b5ea8d): watchdog timeout: no checkins from watchdogd in 95 seconds (832 total checkins since monitoring last enabled)

I look first for non-Apple KEXTs. In your case, you have two:

fi.dungeon.driver.SATSMARTDriver 0.10.2
com.displaylink.DisplayLinkDriver 5.2.5 (90)

I would begin to troubleshoot by either deleting or updating those.

Thank you so much for your help! I wish I understood these things better. I will go now and check those out.
Hope you have a great day!

I'm seeing this too on an imac 5k running big sur. At least once a week, sometimes daily

And I do not have those particular kexts. I do have this one though:

I tried deleting several apps I thought were causing problems but the panics continued. I finally just wiped the drive and installed a fresh copy of the OS and everything has been working great since. I didn't want to go that route because it's more time-consuming but in the end, doing that fixed all my issues
