Yesterday Apple rolled out Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2, adding support for the company's new Thunderbolt Gigabit Adapter, but it appears that the transition has not been smooth for some. A number of users have reported boot problems through Apple Support, ranging from kernel panics, installation errors, restart messages, and getting stuck at the boot screen — each of which have resulted in a non-functional Mac.
