vga256<p>haha so.</p><p>i've got this wonderful mac pro 6,1 trash can. it's everything I want in a desktop machine except for one thing: every week or two, it freezes and hard crashes with an error about WindowServer no longer checking in.</p><p>the overwhelming response from the apple community for the past 5+ years is that it's a case of a failing trash can GPU. that never made any sense to me, as the machine never crashes under load of any kind. </p><p>one person said that once they turned off sleep, the machine was rock solid for months. i confirmed this. it was a sleep issue of some kind.</p><p>so on a hunch, I checked the firmware version: it was nearly 8 years old. that seemed impossible to me because I had recently upgraded to Monterey, and macOS auto-upgrades old firmware with each update.</p><p>🤔 i remembered that I had installed a samsung ssd to replace the ancient apple ssd the machine shipped with. could that have anything to do with it?</p><p>i had apparently forgotten that at boot, macOS updates check to see if you're using an *apple ssd*. if you aren't, it *does not* upgrade the firmware and silently continues with the install. i'm not sure if this applies to other machines, but it is certainly true of the mac pro 6,1.</p><p>if you're running a mac with an upgraded non-apple SSD, check your firmware. there's a chance that yours is running a very old firmware.</p><p>the upshot: i stuck in an old original *apple* ssd, ran the Monterey installer, and it silently upgraded the firmware. i'm now running fw 481.0.0.0.0 and the system is rock solid. no more random crashes.</p><p>to clarify: firmware 430.120.6.0.0 included with macos 12.4 solves the sleep kernel panics</p><p>more info here:<br><a href="https://blog.greggant.com/posts/2019/05/07/the-definitive-mac-pro-2013-trashcan-guide.html#tfirmware" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.greggant.com/posts/2019/0</span><span class="invisible">5/07/the-definitive-mac-pro-2013-trashcan-guide.html#tfirmware</span></a></p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apple</span></a></p>
