nexe Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Boot off the osx install dvd or what ever you used to install osx. When you see the top menu bar choose terminal then edit your Boot.plist in /Volumns/<your osx hdd>/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist save the file then exit the installer. You can use this method to remove troublesome kext's as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
