panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff800064ba7b): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\"

I too have just had the same problem with MacBook Pro 15", performed an online software update, got the same message, can't get it to move beyond that message! What can I do?

Have you solve that issue. got also that kind of problem when i update mg OS and after reboot its already like that error.

Any idea how to backup my files for precaution purpose to protect my office files.

Hope to hear some solution regarding this issue.

Same problem on my Mac Book Pro. I'm trying to install MacOSXUpdCombo10.4 through the cd install. Hope it will work ...

Me too. 2011 MBP. Installed several updates this morning. Updates failed with same error. I'm reinstalling Lion as I write this.

Thanks SittingElf

Managed to get back to something, its Snow Leopard on the other partition of my iMac.

Each time I try to download Lion I get an error message so hope Apple pull their finger out over this ....

Won't be casually uploading updates from Apple next time .... schizen!

Hello,

This fix is working for me.I'm currently running the updates but all my files, photos, music and applications are all there. Stupid T'bold update!

1) Hold in command-r while rebooting (or from cold start) to boot to the recovery partition.

2) Chose re-install mac osx

3) Enter appleID credentials

4) After the re-install is complete (may take a while depending on your intenet connection etc) all your files, preferences, and software will be there, you shouldn't lose anything.

5) DO NOT reattempt the Thunderbolt update. You can update the iPhoto and other updates that Software Update finds...just DO NOT check the Thunderbolt one or you will be at step one again.

BWGS's steps worked for me as well. At least for the time being.

I solved the issue by installing the combo update that you can find here : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1524 and I followed this tutorial :

I hope this will help.

This is from a faulty update that Apple released yesterday. I've covered it and how to address it here, if it helps: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57451440-263/thunderbolt-update-plaguing-ma cbook-pros-with-kernel-panics/

I was in the same boat. Here's the least painful way to fix it based on the post by @mdoghri (thanks for the tip).

1. Download the Lion 10.7.4 Combo Update from here

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1524

2. Burn this to a DVD or copy to some other external device like a USB drive

3. Hold down OPTION key while booting your mac. Lion has a recovery disk built in. Select it to boot into it.

4. Open the Terminal Utilities->Terminal

5. Type in df -h and press enter. Note the mount points and drives. One of them will be the disk that you put the Combo Update.dmg file on.

6. Mount the .dmg file by typing

hdiutil attach /Volumes/DVD-OR-EXTERNAL-DRIVE-WHERE-DMG-IS/MacOSXUpdCombo10.7.4.dmg

NOTE: You will see some checksums checks etc. The disk will get mounted and at the end it will show the mount point.

7. Type in

/Volumes/Internal\ HDD/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ 10.7.4\ Combined\ UpdatePAckageName.pkg -target /Volumes/Internal\ HDD

NOTE: You will replace the values with whatever the DMG file was mounted on and at the end - most likely you will have /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD (this is your main drive).

IMPORTANT: Do not forget that you can use the TAB key to auto-complete the file/path names. So just type the first few letters and hit TAB to auto-complete. If it doesn't auto-complete - hit the TAB again in sequence to list possible options since there is more then one.

8. BE PATIENT. The update will take a while, but at the end it will say that update was successful.

9. Quit Terminal and go back to the main utilities screen where you can simply choose to close the window and it will ask you for the boot drive. Select your main disk drive and it should boot normally.

Hope this helps someone.

P.S. And people say Microsoft is bad. Imagine the number of drivers and third party devices they have to support for Windows. Apple has their own hardware and still manage to create a screwup like this - Sigh!

I faced the same problem after the initial update. I adopted BWGS's recommendation to chose to Reinstall Mac OS X. The Mac OS X Lion screen appears, and I chosed 'Continue'. The next pop-up says 'To download and restore Mac OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple.', Again I chosed 'Continue'. The next screen shows 'Could not find installation information for this machine. Contact AppleCare.' with the OK button. When I click at the OK button, it returns to the Mac OS X Utilities menu. I am using a MacBook Pro 15" and I do not have a Time Machine Backup.

Can someone kindly advise. Thanks.

Me too.

Have you tried the steps I outlined above. I just fixed my Mac Book Pro 15 minutes ago with the steps I outlined?

Same here Andrew. Just happened to me with my 2011 Macbook Pro after installing the large (800+mb) software update.

Dear djogon: I'll try your solution later when I get home and report back to everyone. Thanks for the advice.
