cjhmdm Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hello, I'm having a serious issue with chameleon that is pretty much driving me insane. For some reason, every time I power on my machine, or reboot, chameleon is remembering a command I manually typed a while back. Basically, when going to the boot prompt screen (where you type commands), it always has "-f" typed in, and I don't know how to get rid of it. Normally, this wouldn't be such a huge issue but since I'm running off a raid0 set, I have to use the kernel cache, so any time I boot or reboot i have to sit there and manually remove the "-f" from the boot prompt otherwise I'll get the mach_kernel not found error. Also, just to make it clear, this isn't an issue with my using a raid0 set, and has nothing to do with it at all because it's been happening since I first installed mavericks GM last week on a single disk, and had to enter "-f" one time due to a kext issue I was having (before I even considered using raid). At any rate, if someone could please chime in and let me know how to resolve this, I would be eternally grateful as I want nothing more than to be able to use the QuietBoot option and turn my system on -- or reboot -- without having to sit there and manually remove the -f every time. Huge thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292846-solved-chameleon-driving-me-insane/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinron_1 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 check your org.chameleon.boot.plist and see if ignore boot cache is checked Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292846-solved-chameleon-driving-me-insane/#findComment-1955795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjhmdm Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 The issue had nothing to do with org.chameleon.boot.plist. AS it happens, I found the solution shortly after posting this thread even though I'd spent hours beforehand searching. I essentially had to do what amounts to "sudo nvram -d boot-args" though a bit more involved since I'm running on raid0. But the outcome was essentially the same, nvram had cached the typed in "-f" boot argument so I had to clear it out.
