inthebay Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hey guys, having no problems post install, had updated to latest version of 10.5.x no problems. Then tring to get my externall HDD working properly, decided to install SleepEnabler.kext as well. Now when I boot I get a Kernel Panic, even with -s, -x, ect. I know for a fact it is the SleepEnabler.kext. How do I remove it from terminal. The disk OSX is on is /dev/disk0s2 Thanks, its being a real pain in the ass. I tried rm /system/library/extensions.mkext but it states that its a read only file, way around this? Also, when using the ls command I cannot see my extensions folder in /system/library Thanks again!

Headspin Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 kk If u have a windows partition, boot into it and install macdrive... itll let u browse the folders on ur mac for future problems... anyway If sleepenabler is bothering u, U have to delete the sleepenabler.kext from either /Extra or from /Systems/Library/Extensions... and then boot with -f that way itll ignore the cache... for some odd reason I just had this friggin problem aswel and what I did was I left sleep enabler in place, I edited my com.apple.boot.plist with macdrive 8 and added the kernel flag pmVersion=20 it booted fine but I didnt want that flag so I just removed the flag after it booted, deleted sleepenabler and just double clicked kext utility to fix the rest for me... It gave something saying prevention removing sleepenabler... so I ran it again and this time it gave no errors... Rebooted with the new cache which kext utility auto updates, and it worked fine... try: sudo rm /system/library/extensions.mkext should remove it Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235874-help-sleepenablerkext-cause-crash-on-boot/#findComment-1574065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthebay Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 I figured it out, I ended up having to use the "ls" command in Terminal while booted from my iAtkos DVD to find the proper directory, and then use the "rm -R /directoryhere/" command Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235874-help-sleepenablerkext-cause-crash-on-boot/#findComment-1574683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
