My ideas were to reset the SMC and try a safe boot. Neither addressed the issue, it persists.
What next steps might help me avoid the crash?
I have an iMac late 2012 with 24GB or RAM and 3 USB disks connected to it, all running time machine in sequence.
After updating to catalina, every time I shutdown the system it takes ages to shutdown and then after reaching the shutdown state, sometimes the screen turns white again, as if it would start again and after a while the screen turns black again with a shutdown message at the middle, in several languages.
Then, if I start the system, I see this crash message:
panic(cpu 1 caller 0xffffff7fa6c96aae): watchdog timeout: no checkins from watchdogd in 184 seconds (97 totalcheckins since monitoring last enabled), shutdown in progress Backtrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address 0xffffff82e0b13c40 : 0xffffff802553f98b 0xffffff82e0b13c90 : 0xffffff8025676c15 0xffffff82e0b13cd0 : 0xffffff802566861e 0xffffff82e0b13d20 : 0xffffff80254e6a40 0xffffff82e0b13d40 : 0xffffff802553f077 0xffffff82e0b13e40 : 0xffffff802553f45b 0xffffff82e0b13e90 : 0xffffff8025cd2e05 0xffffff82e0b13f00 : 0xffffff7fa6c96aae 0xffffff82e0b13f10 : 0xffffff7fa6c96472 0xffffff82e0b13f50 : 0xffffff7fa6cabfd6 0xffffff82e0b13fa0 : 0xffffff80254e613e Kernel Extensions in backtrace: com.apple.driver.watchdog(1.0)[58392D62-D9E8-3022-85C1-B78AC93B9167]@0xffffff7fa6c95000->0xffffff7fa6c9dfff com.apple.driver.AppleSMC(3.1.9)[EB9D605D-85B1-3506-8B2E-ABD195817A4F]@0xffffff7fa6c9e000->0xffffff7fa6cbcfff dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily(1.4)[9BA2613C-A129-3EDD-8DC1-2CFF6B62B832]@0xffffff7fa6c8c000 dependency: com.apple.driver.watchdog(1)[58392D62-D9E8-3022-85C1-B78AC93B9167]@0xffffff7fa6c95000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9)[E6E855AD-A5B2-3518-A997-1384B4360708]@0xffffff7fa5f2f000 BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task Mac OS version: 19A583 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 19.0.0: Wed Sep 25 20:18:50 PDT 2019;
