Unable to find driver for this platform \ ACPI\

I lost my day with this issue, fixed by reinstalling after following this post http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57451440-263/thunderbolt-update-plaguing-ma cbook-pros-with-kernel-panics/.

It could be nice detail from Apple a compensation to the affected users.

Same on my early2011 mbp. Thank you very much Apple!!

Restore will take all night, I just hope to be able to work tomorrow....

Ok I could reboot by holding alt key for less than min after pressing the power, got 4 options : one of them is reinstall IOS Lion, selected it. The problem than it said my machine wasn't connected to the wifi.

I couldn't find my wifi name in the network list.

And I don't have a mother MacBook to do the other solution. What should I do now ? I need my MacBook recognizes the wifi network to download the iOS and reinstall it once more.

I'm afraid to loose my data and I don't knw wt happned to apple to let us face a problem like this.

Shouldn't apple figure out a good and quickly solution 4 this problem after this bad update !!

Pls help :/

try to hold down the command key an the R Key. Than install Lion. But you need a internet connection. Got to the Wi-fi and try to search one more time. You don't loose your Data. Lion make installation over the System. That is what i was trying this miorning and my Data are still here. I' wirting over my Mac. All save. 🙂

Thx very much, it worked ... Now I'm downloading the Lion again.

I hope I got my all data safe.

Btw, Congratulation 4 ur Mac :)

No problem 😉

Wellcome back my dear Mac!!!

wooo, writing now over my Macbook.

but wt about if he asks me again to update, wt shall I do ? select which item ? and which item was the cause of all of that mess to avoid updating it ??

Same problem here on a 27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac (3.4G i7, 8G, Radeon). Fixed by running 10.7.4 combo updater in target disk mode. Bummer that this made it through QA, Apple.

Now I know that I shoulldn't rely on TimeMachine too.

After restore FCPX crashed with errors in the Apple AU Plugin, I needed to reregister in iTunes to be able to sync my iPad, Photoshop CS6 gives me color sync error messages and I had to reregister all Nik and OnOne plugins.... I wonder what eles doesn't work anymore.

Will there be any kind of compensation from Apple???????

Thank you Franco 16- Luckily I had NOT updated my other Mac...so I could find this solution. Awful quality control and miserable service in product update! And where is Apple in announcing a warning NOT to update. I posted your answer on my Facebook and tweeted it for my Mac user friends... Apple no longer is my friend

Me too! Suspect that I was one of the first who made the ill fated download. Kernal Panic!, which I couldn't handle. 2.5 hours with 800 APL CARE, still no help. 1.5 hrs at the Genius Bar of my closest Apple Store took care of it. They reinstalled Lion and upgraded to 10.7.4 as it was originally and all data was saved.

You get lulled into updating as soon as it's available, because all updates for the year I've had the mid-2011 iMac had gone fine, but this was the exception. Thenceforth, I will wait a few days and check all the Apple Boards to see what is going on!

I allway keep a copy of my System on a externall disk just for this Case an similar Problems.

Solution:

Reboot from external Disk

install the 10.7.4 combo update and all other updates.

had the mac back working in under 2 hours!

Not working for me ,

Command R + reboot is working , then RE-install ok , i agree ok , select disc to install mountain lion but ist blanc, there is no disc to be selected and so I can't click continue ?

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks
