running VLC & Safari

I had 6 kernel panics today. I didn't have any problems with betas 1 to 4, but 5 is panicking like crazy

I had lots of these "Sandbox unable to determine protected devices" panics in betas 1 -3 but i've not had any yet in PB4 — try turning OFF rootless and I suspect you'll not see these kernel panics...

Oh, do report these using feedback assistant / bugs!!!

I haven't had a single one of those or panics on my 2015 13" rMBP. how old was your install before you upgraded? I formatted mine before upgrading to avoid any old lingering software or weird configs being migrated over.

recall:
i did a clean wipe install of Yosemite 10.10.4
i had the local apple store run over night hardware diagnostics
than i installed the public beta 4

i disabled System Integrity (rootless); but still get the kernel panics as before
there are a couple of methods floating around
1) system reset with control + command + p + r
in the OSX Utilities screen public beta 4
Utilities->Security Config
uncheck the box
assert the bottom apply configuration
2) sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0";sudo reboot

either method i did not observe a change
also
the Disk Utility "info" screen displays the system integrity status
which indicated that rootless still active

Yes, the boot-args method is not working in PB4 — you need to reboot into recovery partition and disable rootless there using the GUI. From the panic logs I got:

*** Panic Report ***
panic(cpu 3 caller 0xffffff7f968ed4ed): "Sandbox unable to determine protected devices"@/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/Sandbox_executables/Sandbox-442.0.0.1.3/src/kext/iokit_rootless.cpp:415

It appeared to have something to do with rootless, and since i've disabled it I haven't had crashes (although it may also be the fact I upgraded to PB4)...

I am not sure even rebooting into recovery changes the rootless status

the new El Capitan info screen has a "system integrity protection enabled" status
it dosnt change much so something or other is busted



maybe i got it to disable sometime yesterday as i noticed the new crop of kernel panics have nothing to with the sandBox status. They are from various applications.

considering the kernel panics started in Yosemite with this machine (mid 2010 macbook pro) and they continue to happen with El Capitan public beta4 little chance for a resolve going up in revision. Especially since ElCapitan getting released September/October

oh well... fall back to 10.9 for stable operation
