None of the updates could be installed. Kernel panic

I have the same problem HELP!!! I have iMac 2011 spring 10.7.4.

Same problem here. Major pain...

I got same problem.

Thunderbolt update 1.2 may be harmful.

Me too :-(, I tried with a repair disk permissions (no luck), but I am wondering about a time machine roll back. The lion utilities are reachable by pressing cmd-r at startup..

I did an extra backup with target mode, as roll back erases the destination disk and replaces it with the time machine backup.

But I have a feeling that I am going to have to re-install lion.

I dislike this intensly

mbp early 2011 - the latest Lion

So how do I fix this? I have the same problem, I have my install disk and time machine backups on an external hard drive if that helps. Thanks!

Seems to be a problem. Start up with the Command-R keys depressed. Then select reinstall Lion. This will reinstall Lion and leave all your files and prefs intact. It gave me Lion 10.7.3. Then run software update which moves you to 10.7.4. If you run software update again, it will offer you Thunderbolt and iPhoto update. DON'T DO IT! Wait until we hear there is a fix from Apple.

Ditto for me: kernel panic...repeatedly.

What do I do if I am running Lion Server?! When I attempt to reinstall Lion it tells me:

"You cannot install Mac OS X on a server volume. You need to use Disk Utility to erase this volume before you can continue to install Mac OS X."

Well, I don't want to erase my volume...so how do I recover?

Thanks for any help, it is much, much appreciated.

I posted these steps too before finding this response, just want to confirm boysetsthefire's answer, it works as he describes.

I have the same issue. Tried to do an update about an hour ago. 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion OS x 10.7.4. kernel panic. Can not reboot...

After a hard power down, you can use the command-r after powering on...same effect as a reboot.

Booting into Recovery mode and restoring from Time Machine sorted things out. Going to hold off on updating again...

Definitely some bad code in there somewhere. Toasted my boot loader. Had to reinstall Lion

Confirmed.

Definitely some bad code in there somewhere. Toasted my boot loader. Had to reinstall Lion.

Same problem on 2011 MBP 15". In the process of using Lion recovery (Command-R). Not good at all. Plan to download 10.7.4 combo update and install it afterwards.

Command R should solve the issues!!!
