Docker Desktop causing kernel panic on MacOS 15.4 Developer Beta 1 (apple silicone)

I recently upgraded to MacOS 15.4 Developer Beta 1 and ever since whenever I try to start Docker Desktop, my machine hangs for a second and then restarts. After the boot I get an apple diagnostics kernel panic message.

Here’s details from the report. I’m running the latest version of Docker Desktop (4.38.0) and also confirmed that I was at the latest Docker Desktop before I upgraded to the latest MacOS upgrade and that I don’t see these issues: Malware detection prevents Docker Desktop to start · Issue #7527 · docker/for-mac · GitHub

It appears this has also been reproted on Github: Docker Desktop 4.38.0 causing kernel panic / hard lock / reboot with macOS 15.4 Beta 1 (24E5206s) · Issue #7597 · docker/for-mac · GitHub

I’m not sure what version of macOS the other users in the comments are using, but a Beta 1 macOS can easily have bugs.

Thank you for sharing it here so other forum users can find it too, especially the link fo the issue on GitHub as that is the best place where developers can decide whether it is a Docker Desktop issue or macOS, or both.

The beta OS wss just released - Version 15.4 Beta (24E5206s) running on MacBook Pro with Apple M4 Max

Adding I’m also on the M4 Max Macbook Pro.

Same-- M4 Max MacBook Pro, 15.4 Beta 24E5206s

Same. M4 MAX 15.4 Beta (24E5206s)

same M4 pro MacBook Pro, 15.4 Beta 24E5206s

Update for those not following the Github issue as well, Apple has reported this issue with M4 models in their release notes.

Unfortunately it looks like we need to wait for an update from Apple. Their workaround is simply, don’t use Virtual Machines (Docker).

Virtual Machines

Known Issues

  • Upon update to macOS 15.4 beta 1, M4 Macs will be unable to launch virtual machines and attempts will result in a system restart. (145309647) (FB16542958)
    Workaround: Do not launch virtual machines. If virtual machine applications launch upon login, boot to Safe Mode and disable in system settings.
