invisiblesurfer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hi folks, This morning I downloaded and installed the latest Lion update (10.7.1) but I forgot to remove Sleepenabler.kext before the installation and now my hackbox kernel panics. There must be a way to delete the file without having to reformat and reinstall everything. Can you help me gain access to my files and delete the kext? Thank you in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265863-1071-forgot-to-delete-sleepenablerkext-prior-to-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital_dreamer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 All you'll need to do is boot with the "pmVersion=0" flag (without the quotes) at the bootloader prompt. That will get you in. best regards, MAJ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265863-1071-forgot-to-delete-sleepenablerkext-prior-to-update/#findComment-1736557 Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisiblesurfer Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hello again, I tried booting with pmVersion=0 and -v but it still tries to load sleepenabler.kext and hangs, although it now happens much later, after it has loaded the nvidia and other kexts. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you in advance for helping me. This is the message I am getting after pmVersion=0 -v (and also -x) [sleepEnabler] disabled due to pmVersion=0 Kext.sk.triaxis.kext.SleepEnabler start failed (result 0x5) Kext.sk.triaxis.kext.SleepEnabler failed to load (0xdc008017) Edit: Deleted manual via Terminal Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265863-1071-forgot-to-delete-sleepenablerkext-prior-to-update/#findComment-1736722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
