I have had this come up over the years with nearly every OS X version and various versions of the Sonnet Tempo drivers. I just put the kext file back where it belongs and proceed. I have never had a problem. In fact, before the card was deemed a miscreant I recall having kernel panics. Under Lion/Mountain Lion: none that I can recall. My system is a 2009 MacBook Pro with the Sonnet Tempo SATA Express 34 card. Finally, I did not have this incompatibility marking with the 10.8.4 combo update but was looking for it." MacInTouch 6/7
