vilpostus Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 -x -s -v -f cpus=1You should know what and why you are typing. -x = Safe mode. Basically boots your system with the bare minimum kexts. Do you need it? -s = Single user mode. Command line only mode. Allows you to run commands as root to fix system.Again, do you need it? -v = verbose mode. Basically tells you wants happening during boot up -f = Tells the machine to reload all kext and dump the boot configuration cache, (kext cache found in: /System/Library/Extensions.mkext, you can delete it manually and the system will recreate it). cpus=1 = Tells the kernel how many cores to use. So get yourself familiar with flags, then use the one you need (if any). For more info http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99891 I'd suggest use these: busratio=20 cpus=1(if you have non-single-core CPU) maxmem=2048(if you have more then 2Gb RAM installed and there is boot crash on memory mapping) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/193286-think-im-almost-there-please-help/#findComment-1306709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
