NoSmokingBandit Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I've had an EFI partition set up for a while with Chameleon installed and everything always worked. With Mavericks it seems like the kexts won't load from EFI/Extra/Extensions unless I boot with -f. I can manually load the kexts with 'sudo kextload' to get things working once i'm booted up, but there must be some way to get it to work correctly again...? I have the latest Chameleon installed and no bootloader or Extra folder on my OS partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 you can run kext utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 kext utility does not do anything for this "issue". If you for some reason need to keep kernel extensions in /Extra/Extensions then you need to boot with UseKernelcache=n, this will allow you to boot without -f. If you want to avoid the -f flag AND have substantially faster boot, you need to keep all your kernel extensions in /System/Library/Extensions so that they can be included in the cache, then boot with UseKernelcache=y.

NoSmokingBandit Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Doesn't UseKernelcache=n do effectively the same thing as -f? I'm just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem. It worked in 10.8 without -f or UseKernelcache... I'm going to try formatting my EFI part and reinstalling Chameleon from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
