I’m not sure what fixed it because I tried multiple things yesterday, but it shutdown normally last night.

    Attempting to kill init means that something tried to kill PID 1. That’s… abnormal outside of a shutdown. But it can be normal during shutdown. So uhh… yeah: if it continues to be a problem then it needs to be reported and fixed by your distribution. What distribution are you using?

    I see kernel panics at shutdown most often on Arch-based distros after updating system packages.

    It sucks when it happens during shutdown but it’s typically not going to cause other problems… except perhaps not automatically booting if you wanted to reboot instead of shutdown.

      I’m using the XFCE edition of Linux Mint. The Kernel updated yesterday morning, could that have something to do with it?

        A kernel update, if it’s done right, shouldn’t cause a panic. But not every distro does updates right.

        If you know the old version and the new version then it might be useful to reach out to the Mint community and see if they’re aware of issues like that.

        https://linuxmint.com/getinvolved.php -> forums or chat might be fruitful to you

          I don’t know what the previous version was but I’ll still post about it to the forums. Thanks.

      I see kernel panics at shutdown most often on Arch-based distros after updating system packages.

      When I tried Arch, upgrading kernel would delete the kernel modules of the running kernel — somewhat unimpressive upgrade process.
