instal the new version for apple Disk Sorter Ultimate 15.6.18

This should be functionally identical from a user's perspective, and it probably does not degrade security in a practical sense, but it's possible that system security is impaired or compromised by these patches. The patches below effectively disable that randomization and allow pre-Ivy Bridge systems to operate correctly. The new rdrand instructions appear in the kernel zone memory management code, apparently performing similar functions to the code that SurPlus patched.

Based on what I'm hearing, it doesn't appear that the installer requires these patches, but they're necessary to actually boot the system (clarification of that point from someone who's actually installed 12.1b1 is welcome). The OCLP crew already have these in hand, so I'd expect them to appear in a nightly build fairly soon (EDIT: they have). The patches below need to be used in addition to the existing SurPlus patches. Thanks to and others for the quick testing. I am not in a position to install 12.1b1 at the moment, but I was able to create a patch blindly see below. observed that 12.1b1 contains a dependency on the RDRAND instruction, which effectively breaks pre-Ivy Bridge systems (that includes Mac Pro 5,1 and earlier). Yesterday, Monterey 12.1b1 was seeded to developers. Also, it appears that the 12.1 released (non-beta) version does not require SurPlus, either. EDIT (20dec21): It appears that only 12.1b1 requires MonteRand - subsequent betas and the 12.1 released version do not seem to have the RDRAND problem addressed by MonteRand.
