I booted into the enterprise kernel though... And the changes from higher to high and vice versa happen instantly (scanner doesn't work then does), if they are actually changing which kernel is to be used wouldn't I need to reboot, because you can't change the kernel in use without rebooting as far as I know (I think kernel updates are the only reasons I ever HAD to reboot).
That's why I was thinking it may be something with permissions of whether a program can or cannot use certain hardware (/dev/sg0 in this case).
I have no clue...
Is there any very detailed document explaining what changes happen when switching security levels in msec?
