I have a problem with this update

 

On shutdown/restart - 9 times out of 10 it hangs.

 

By hangs I mean I tried waiting several minutes - doesn't complete.

 

I noticed also when booting with '-v' that it rebuilds kernelcache during boot when nothing's changed.

 

I'm sure these issues were introduced by this update and weren't before.

 

Any1 have idea how to revert this update?

 

EDIT:

I've reverted kernel and System.kext to the ones from 10.10.2 - both problems mentioned above are gone.

 

EDIT:

This is happening in a virtual machine too.  After checking - the problem seems to be that kextd is running kextcache over and over in an infinite loop.  I tried without unsigned kexts installed and the problem persists.

Has anyone run into this?

Try 'ps -A |grep kext' from a Terminal several times to see if kextd keeps restarting new copies of kextcache.

I don't know why but it broke my main HD 10.10.3. Now it' s always stuck at bluetooth transport something (I could not take a pic yet) and if I try with -x it stops and hangs.
