Whaka Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 be careful if you have haswell motherboard with locked msr's. this security update (at least for 10.8) seems to have a new kernel. wich kill the clover "on the fly" kernel patching for powermanagement. i installed it for 10.8 on my asus haswell laptop : now i have the early reboot problem... i can't boot my system anymore. i didn't see inside the installer if a new kernel is present (apple didn't spread this update on their website yet, only app store), but it seems to be the case. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304175-some-security-updates-for-mavericks-and-mountain-lion-are-available-today/#findComment-2106258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
