Thunderbolt software update causes a kernel panic OS X

Ideal does not exist, but some of us seek it, and Apple is one of them. However, there are straps and her. For example, with the latest software upgrades aimed at expanding Thunderbolt port functionality. Update Thunderbolt 1.2, which appeared shortly after the completion of the company's new product announcements at WWDC 2012 could lead to serious problems with the operating system reports TidBITS.

In particular, after the installation of the software the machine, according to the source, can hang on a gray background during the boot process, and if it and start, there is a sudden hang in progress "kernel panic" and unexpected errors (unexpected error). If the problem started, then use the Mac as usual is not possible.

According to Adam Engsta (Adam Engst), to draw public attention to the solution of its problems, of course. Unfortunately, banal restoration of rights through the "Disk Utility" can not do. Affected users need to reinstall the operating system. We'll have to start up your Mac in Recovery Mode screen by pressing the «Command + R» during the reboot. Next, select reinstall Mac OS X. If the partition Resovery HD OS is not available, work function recovery Lion over the Internet. When the "Lion" will be reset, do not rush to install the update again Thunderbolt.

Although not all are having this problem, but no laws have yet been identified. For example, I have until the system is functioning normally, but because in Thunderbolt 1.2 was installed this morning the 13th. In addition, the thematic discussion on Apple.com branches, many people also have reported similar cases. Perhaps a patch conflicts with some of the programs installed on users' machines.

Whatever it was, do not rush to put the software Thunderbolt 1.2, all they have to do is still to ensure compatibility with announced at WWDC 2012 Thunderbolt-Gigabit Ethernet adapters and FireWire, which will be available only next month. By that time, Apple is clearly solve the problem with the failed software upgrade.
