gavspav Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I have an Asus p5W dh deluxe running Ideneb 10.5.8, its been running fine for about a year now with only the very occasional glitch. I was just surfing the internet and I got the grey screen of death message you must restart your computer....... So I restarted but it wouldn't boot up, just the spinning wheel below the apple logo. So I tried to boot into single user mode but that didn't work. So then I tried -v -x from the command line and it hangs on loading the following kext: AppleTyMCEDriver.kext I'm not really sure of the next step in trying to sort this out. Can anyone offer any tips, advice or links to tutorials/guides as to a sensible course of action. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muchlife Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 seems that file may have become corrupted. you can delete it as last resort, that file 98% time is not needed boot up installer, go to terminal rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleTyMCEDriver.kext or might need to specify drive first rm -rf Volume/(name of partition)/System/Library/Extensions/AppleTyMCEDriver.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I've fixed mysterious boot issues by doing a CMOS reset. Don't ask me how or why. Stuck bits maybe You can also try booting from your install DVD, then run Disk Utility and repair/fix permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellis Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 i would boot in -s mode then do a full system check with fsck and then rename that kext folder with another extension, so it won';t try to load. then clean the /System/Library/Cache/* folder then try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zicoos Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks for the solutions, I had a similar problem after crash, and fixing the permissions with install disk helped. I have Asus P5B Deluxe. I was not able to enter the OS normally after a crash, only through -x -f, after -x -f I had to reinstall ApplePS2Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX2000.kext, as well as Natit.kext. Don't know what really happened but after that I couldn't boot into the OS without -f, so I cleared the caches, and erased Extensions.mkext, now I can boot.
