Latest update 10.7.4 - error messages in Console every 5 seconds

I just updated my laptop to the 10.7.4 and now every 5 seconds there is this message in Console:

------

kernel: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR F1Mn kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff80119c8000

-----

I also get a bunch of these logged:

-----

kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero

kernel: AppleThunderboltNHI::enablePower - turn power on, status = 0x0, result_value = 0x0

-----

Any ideas how to fix this? I have seen other people reporting this online, but haven't found any here on the board. How can I roll back to 10.7.3?

Thanks for help!

Mende, thanks for trying to help! I followed the instructions, but it didn't help. The same error is still happening every 5 seconds

Then, open "Disk Utility" and repair permissions.

I may have taken the scenic route, but this has helped me:

Download Combo 10.7.3 extract AppleSMC.kext from 10.7.3 with PACIFIST. Go to MacintoshHD/System/Library/Extension and delete AppleSMC.kext (10.7.4)... Use KEXT HELPER http://cheetha.net/ to install old AppleSMC.kext from 10.7.3 to location MacintosHD/System/Library/Extensions.... Repair Disk Permissions, restart and enjoy without errors 🙂
