daz1uk Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I've had to reinstall Lion twice now after installing a Kext that has stopped my pc from booting. Is there any way to recover from these situations without having to do a reinstall every time?

.picodev Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Boot from your install DVD/USB media,go to the top bar,Utilities > Terminal > cd /Volumes/name_of_your_Lion_drive/System/Library/Extensions then just remove the offending kext by rm -r Faulty_kext.kext .. then just "reboot" Replace the partition and kext names accordingly.
