Kernel Panic Early 2011 MacBook Pro

[DominikHoffmann]

On my Early 2011 MacBook Pro (15"), 16 GB of RAM, I keep getting kernel panics. I have tried to do clean installs a total of three times so far, and they keep happening. I am using the Golden Master (13A598).

For the sake of Apple coming up with a fix, I hope I am not the only one.

Post the kernel panics and you may be able to get some help, it's probably the result of an incompatible kext.

Or in the worst case the infamous GFX Card dying ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?start=390&tstart=0 ) if it happened out of the blue.

In that case you spot Machine Exceptions somewhere in the kernel log.
Fingers crossed its just a kext though.

I went back to Mountain Lion, and the kernel panics have gone away. As of last night a new golden master is out, and I hope it will fix the problem.

Installed the "second Golden Master," Build 13A603. I have been running it for a few hours, now, and have not seen a kernel panic.
