Yes.

those kernel panics were giving me headaches too. i seemed to find a way to get passed them by:

1. Power off the machine
2. unplug THunderbolt display powercord and TB cord.
3. wait about 15 seconds and plug the monitors cables all back in
4. power up the computer.

i think my kp's had something to say about IO error blah blah bluetooth blah -

after power cycling the monitor it seemed to fix it.

now if only i could fix my brightness keys from sleeping my display ::AHHH!!::

The same basic method has works for me too (Z77X-UP4-TH).

Booting has always been intermittent with the TB display plugged in, but if I let the machine boot first then plug it in its always OK.
