I got boot problem with my Osx lion 10.7.3 or 2 (not sure)
It's because I reinstalled Izotope plugin Radius for logic and forgot to apply
The patch which was mentioned in the website
I had this problem in the past and had salvaged by booting my Mac in target disk mode,connecting it to another MBP and manually copying the ioapcifamily.kext driver
However I don't have access to another Mac now and as suggested by izotope support (enclosed below)
The problem is terminal bash is not taking commands
Is/ Volumes
Sudo it says unknown command or not recognized

pwd however displays the available volumes

Also attached is the picture of boot kernel panic

From Izotope support
We’ve recently learned that under rare circumstances, installing an iZotope product or demo and then applying any OS X 10.6 update can cause some computers to experience problems booting. This issue was related to a rare interaction between the install process and security measures that Apple recently introduced in OS X 10.6.

Who this affects:

- Any user running Mac OS X (any version). If you're running Windows then this issue does not apply to you.

Note: This only affects Snow Leopard OS X 10.6, but since users running 10.4 and 10.5 might eventually upgrade to 10.6, we recommend that they download the patch as well.

What to do:

- Download and install this patch immediately, even if you have not experienced any issues at this time. Note that it only takes a moment to run, and no reboot is required.

iZotope Mac OS X 10.6 Patch

You do not need to uninstall or reinstall any iZotope products:

After you have run the patch linked above, your machine will be all set and you will not need to re-install or uninstall any of your iZotope software.

If in the future you need to re-install your software however, be sure to only install from the latest downloaded installers off of our website. If you install from an older installer or product disc, you will re-implant the issue that the patch is designed to fix.

Note: As of May 7, 2010, all of the OS X installers on the iZotope website have been updated so that they no longer cause this issue to occur.
