I've been trying for two months to update my mac to Catalina, and last night on a suggestion, I disabled FileVault. All was going good and suddenly kernel panic. My mac keeps kernel panicking while trying to decrypt the FileVault, and I cannot seem to find a way to stop this.
One solution I have attempted was to removed my MagSafe, and thereby the decryption is stopped,
As soon as I connect the MagSafe back, the decryption restarts and crashes my mac.
I wanted to know if possible a method to kill this process entirely and go back to where it was. I can't seem to find a straight forward answer online, so I'm trying to ask here.
No, I have not created a time machine back up. No, I do not have another backup somewhere.
