Crashes involving "NMIPI for spinlock acquisition timeout" usually involve third-party kernel extensions - you have three loaded in the etrecheck report: DriveDx's SATSMARTDriver.kext; DigiDal.kext; and Pegasus2R2ICON.kext. But you also seem to have a lot of audio plugins and tools - and maybe a bunch of physical MIDI devices(?) if I am reading things correctly, so that could be the cause too. Has there been any recently added HW or software to your setup?


The slow disk writes and almost full drive suggests that might also be a factor, especially if the crashes happen when disk activity is high.


My first step would be to free up disk space, disconnect your external devices and then add them back in order of priority to you. See if and when crashes happen again. You may also want to clean up older launch daemons and launch agents, and all the things associated with the Clean Up recommendations - which are partially uninstalled.

Thanks so much for taking a look! Yes, tons of audio plugins and midi devices on this machine. Can't recall any new HW or software additions, but also haven't been using this machine regularly for some time.


OKay, will start with disconnecting and reconnecting devices, following the clean up recs, see where that gets me.


Any course of action to take with the third party kernel extensions?

If you don't use the associated application or tool anymore, uninstall it. If you do use them (or if uninstalling one or more doesn't resolve the crashes), restart in Safe Mode, where extensions aren't loaded, to see if that resolves the crashes. If no crashes in Safe Mode, then the extensions are likely the candidate and you may want to uninstall them and reinstall the newest versions one at a time to see if you can figure out which one is the problem.


Quick hint - if any of the associated apps or tools is no longer being updated and the last update is older than the current three versions of macOS...it is likely to be a problem.
