OK, so the security update bricked my XPS 9560 that was running great. Still not working, but I got past the kernel panic by updating lilu.

So far, what I've done is:

Add
Code: 
-liluoff
to boot arguments (after darkwake=0, etc)
System boots but no display, etc. I am able to ssh in and do anything via command line... so I used scp to copy updated versions of Lilu, AppleALC, IntelGraphicsFixup, NvidiaGraphicsFixup, CoreDisplayFixup, and USBInjectAll in /Volumes/NO NAME/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/.

Edit: Also updated VoodooPS2Controller, FakePCIID kexts and FakeSMC. I've updated pretty much everything I could think of.

Then I updated kext cache with
Code: 
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions/ && sudo kextcache -u /

It still won't boot to desktop, but it doesn't kernel panic anymore. Am I missing something? Or do I need to update more kexts?

Here is everything I have in /Volumes/NO NAME/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/

Sorry, attached. IOReg dump failed, so it's missing that. I can't install xcode via cli so I'm not sure how to get the IOReg

Xcode has nothing to do with IORegistryExplorer.app.
Getting ioreg is simple:
- download IORegistryExplorer.app
- run it
- choose File->Save Copy As

Also, need kextcache output:
Code: 
sudo kextcache -i /

You should insure all kexts are up-to-date (and Clover) prior to updating.

Your EFI/Clover/kexts/Other is not per guide at all (everything there is a bit of a mess)... Read here:

I can't get to a desktop UI.

1. IORegistryExplorer.app won't run without the GUI, apparently (I tried gen_debug after copying IORegistryExplorer.app to /Applications/ and it still failed at IOReg dump).
2. How do I update Clover from the command line?

If you can't boot, where did the data from post #3 come from?
Or even the kextcache output you provided here in post #5.
Why did you install NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext for a system that has no Nvidia? (according to your profile, only Intel HD630).

You seem to have a bit of a mess... maybe you should start over.
 
I am so sorry for wasting your time - you said my EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other was a mess and you were right. I had not zipped half of them properly prior to copying them, so many of the essential ones (Lilu included) were zero bytes.

I was just able to boot normally after fixing all the zero-byte kexts. My apologies once again. Thank you for pointing out my error!

The data in #3 came from the gen_debug script. I ran everything from an SSH prompt. I removed the Nvidia stuff- it was superfluous as you pointed out. My laptop has nvidia gpu but it's optimus so macos can't use it.

How do you run the script if you can't boot?
You will need to be much more clear on exactly what the problem is.

Note: Your profile lacks important details on your laptop hardware... screen resolution is missing.

It is important, as if you have a 4k display, and fail to use CoreDisplayFixup.kext + Lilu.kext, your internal display probably won't work (external HDMI/DP monitor may). Also, you may need IntelGraphicsFixup.kext (likely). Or you may need to inject EDID.

Also, you can use an invalid ig-platform-id to avoid graphics problems (cause system to use base VESA drivers)...

Sorry, it's a 4k display. I followed a guide specific to the Dell XPS 15 9560 (2017 model) with 4k, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd.

As I stated, it was totally my error with updating the kexts- some of them weren't actually updated... I had replaced them with zero-byte folders (I forgot the -r flag when zipping).

I was only able to boot with -liluoff but it wasn't a full boot. It booted far enough to get to networking, but no display/ui/etc, so I was able to log in remotely via ssh on my hackintosh desktop. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.

The kexts are working as intended and I am able to boot now that everything is updated. I also updated Clover just to be safe (now that I can boot) but I will note your suggestions for the future if it happens again!
