'''This prevents the computer from entering Standby mode while the computer is in normal Sleep mode.''' From this point, allowing the computer to return to sleep and then waking the computer, should prevent the kernel panic from occurring.

To confirm that the above setting was properly set open the macOS System Report, select the 'Power' item in the sidebar, and then check the 'Standby Enabled' value. It should say 0.[/quote]
