OS X Yosemite - Kernel panic

I am using Macbook Pro - Retina(2012).

Today, I have tried to upgrade Mac OS to OS X Yosemite. After finishing download and it started installation.

Somehow, Computer shut downed automatically.

I have tried to boot after pushing the power button.

The Macbook displays these several times and gone.

Your computer restarted because of ~~

and then

panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffffff....)

It is not booting any more and still have same messages.

My head is going to panic.

Can anyone help me to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Identical issue here. I started Yosemite upgrade, my Mac Pro restarted but now kernel panics repeatedly on boot. Disk and disk permission repairs haven't fixed it. I can't even boot it into safe mode without this same kernel panic! Was running fine until I attempted the upgrade!

panic(cpu 2 caller 0x...): "Process 1 exec of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 2"@...

Debugger called: <panic>

Thank you so much for this, this undoubtedly saved me from having to do a fresh install of El Cap
