travelan Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 1. Boot in singleuser mode (Bootparameter: -s) You should get a bash shell soon 2. Enable writing to the disk by executing the 2 commands on the screen (fsck... and mount...) 3. rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleTPMACPI.kext 4. Reboot It should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the screen are those commands (including the right parameters) printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbogizzmo Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 if you boot into the system normal you can browse to the file and delete it, you just need to enter the password to confirm it being removed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelan Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Yes, but I saw in another thread he didn't know how to change the root/curtis password, so he can't delete it by using finder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knux Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 IIRC you need to boot to single user mode "-s" then run the two commands to check the file system and mount it with read write privilages, at this point you are in darwin single user mode. You then need to run "sh /etc/rc" (I think it is - doing all this from memory) to run OSX in single user mode. You can then "passwd curtis" and set a new password and remove that kernel extension (is that what it was?). Reboot. After that I created a new account with root privilages, logged in with that and deleted the curtis account. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH <{POST_SNAPBACK}> wheni boot into osx with -s it says to do fsck -fy and mount -uw to enter read write mode, but when i do that, it still only says(after mount) local, read-only, journaled. am i missing something? or are there other params im supposed to be using?

bobsort Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I think this thread is some kind of encoded message that needs translation! Anybody have a simple command line solution to delete a .KEXT from system in single user mode? I can't delete them as it says readonly ... I use "mount -w -a -t HFS" and it runs but later "rm -rf [extensionname.kext] returns error readonly file sytem" FYI [extensionname.kext] is any extension name that I want to delete ------ Edited Few hours Later! ------------------ I Managed to fix it myself use mount -o update / and then rm -rf [extensionname.kext] works fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
