Hello,

I learned today about the "improvement" SIP in Mojave; long story short: I have about 3Go of files in /Library/Updates that I want to get rid of. "Operation not permitted" is of course the answer in terminal and iterm (both have been granted full disk access in the system prefs, as well as /bin/bash for instance, just to see).
I thus went to recovery mode and ran "csrutil disable" and rebooted.
The problem is that is creates a kernel panic on reboot: "You mac has been restarted because of a problem...". The only way to get out of this loop is to go back to the recovery mode and enable SIP again.
(For instance, Cmd+Shift+P+R does not help.)

Any help appreciated!
