Jordan94jb Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Basically I've reinstalled Leopard and I had a topic before where I was told to go into single user mode mode and remove a kext. Thing is that topics been removed and I've lost the paper it was wrote down on. Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdrk Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Basically I've reinstalled Leopard and I had a topic before where I was told to go into single user mode mode and remove a kext. Thing is that topics been removed and I've lost the paper it was wrote down on. Can anyone help me? have you installed Leopard or Snow Leopard? To boot into single user mode you need to hit Tab once the bootloader comes up, and then type "-s" without the quotes and hit enter. Once you're in Single User Mode, you need to remove the offending kext with the 'rm' command and flush the kext cache. I don't know what kext you need to remove, but kexts are located in /System/Library/Extensions (usually denoted as /S/L/E in forum-speak). To remove a kext you'll need change to that directory and remove it. To do that: cd /System/Library/Extensions and then to see files there type "ls" (that's a lowercase L) without the quotes, and remove it with "rm": rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/[offending-file-name-without-brackets.kext] To flush the cache, you need to type the following: rm /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
