Kernal Panic After update

I just ran software update on my 1 yearold imac, it showed 4 things needing updated so i clicked download and install as usuall but when my computer restarted to install the updates it said there was an unexpected error before it finished installing and gave me an option to restart which i choose to do, but now it keeps showing

Panic (cpu 0 caller 0xfffffff800064ba7b): "unable to find driver for this platform" and so on....

Mac os version:

Not yet set

Says i need to restart my computer. Hold down the power button until it goes off, then press the power button again.

Already tried that nothing happens just boots up n shows the same thing.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Yes, that's possible if your MBA has a Firewire port or if both computers are on a local wired or wireless network.

If Lion came pre-installed on the computer then you should not need an Apple ID other than the one you normally used when you purchased the iMac.

I just got the same error after a routine software update. What are my options if I don't have Lion on a disc? I downloaded it via the mac app store. Many thanks for your help.

I had the same problem, but I had 6 updates ready. When I installed, the installation reported failed for unknown reason, then the OS was completely corrupted from the 11 June 2012 update. After searching via my iPad, and iPhone I found a community suggestion of using Command r to go into the recovery mode. That worked, and from there I restored from a Time Machine save, which so far has worked. What I don't know how to do is get this information to Apple. S

Well, this only happened sense i upgraded to lion a few days ago, so i believe APPLE's partially responsible.
