Hey guys, been a while!
So my Sage/10G w/ a 10980XE setup has been great! Flawless during operation, but there's a few things I want to sort out and maybe someone can help here. I never mapped all my USB ports (as I never needed to), and I never did the dual 10GbE flash as time hasn't been on my side. As it stands right now, I'm using a flashed Gigabyte Thunderbolt 3 card and it works fantastic (minus the need to replug it on reboot, but hotplug does work).
The only REAL issues I'm having, when I reboot or cold boot it, sometimes it Kernel Panics and I have to reboot once or twice to get it up and running. I've reset SMC via Clover and it doesn't make a difference. Also, I get that Can't Allocate Runtime error sometimes on boot and again, have to reboot. Once it's booted, it's fine, but it's something I'd love to fix.
The last time it happened (a few days ago)- I got the 'System was restarted because of a problem' dialog and was able to copy/paste the KP log to a text file (this doesn't normally happen, so I got lucky).
Also, once in a blue moon, I leave my machine on when I go out (sometimes need to remote in for work purposes), and it will crash to a black screen. On reboot, I'll go into terminal to check the last shutdown code (using the -24hr flag) and it always spits out a '5' which is a normal shutdown. In the last week, I installed some Tripp-Lite filtered power bars and it hasn't happened since (while it also seemed to eliminate a LOT of noise coming through my speakers with these things- so I'll see if it happens again).
If anybody is interested in helping, can I paste the KP log I copy/pasted from the other day to begin troubleshooting this?
Thanks again if you can help, and to this community that literally helped me save thousands of hours in troubleshooting and has helped me be insanely productive with this machine!
