VinhSon Nguyen Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hello everyone, I've searched everywhere and cannot delete the SleepEnabler.kext in Terminal. The problem is, I can't get correct Permissions. I'm booting via Install DVD to access Terminal, if I type: mount -uw / It responds: Permission Denied. Other things I've tried gave me: Resource is busy Any clue on how to delete SleepEnabler? I've tried booting in -s, -v, -x, etc, no go. I've tried pmVersion=0 and pmVersion=21, no go. Everything I've tried booting with gave me a Kernel Panic so I decided to boot via DVD and access Terminal that way. When I boot with -s or -v, it says "Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies): sk.triaxis.kext.SleepEnabler (1.0.0) Any help guys? Thanks so much for the support. Update 1 I typed "rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/ -ls" in terminal and apparently the SleepEnabler.kext isn't there. I also did "ls -la" in Extra/Extensions and didn't find SleepEnabler. Why am I still getting kernel panics from it if it's not there anymore? Is there another place I have to delete SleepEnabler? Update 2 If I boot with pmVersion=0 -s -v, I get: If you want to make modifications to files: /sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw / If you wish to boot the system: exit When exiting, it fails to load SleepEnabler.kext PS: I installed a corrupted version of SleepEnabler.kext and now I can't even boot up, all I get is kernel panics. My working SleepEnabler.kext is in the Trash, the corrupted one is in the Extensions folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Boot your install DVD, run Terminal and do: rm -rf /volumes/nameofosxpartition/system/library/extensions/sleepenabler.kext rm -rf /volumes/nameofosxpartition/system/library/caches/com.apple.kext.caches/startup/Extensions.mkext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhSon Nguyen Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 It says Read-only file system, so I'm assuming I don't have permission to delete them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Odd, those commands work fine for me. Though I don't use sleepenabler. It's not clear from your post if you have tried removing sleepenabler from the single user mode command prompt. Boot with -s, run fsck, mount as prompted and use the same commands I posted above, except of course without /Volumes/nameofosxpartition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
