Kexts won't load from EFI partition Extra/Extensions without -f flag

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.

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.
