wow Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 After an agpgart experiment i had a screen of death. So i thought delete the kext, problem solved. Not, after booting with -s and mount -aw. I sudo delete or del, but it doesnt know the delete command. Then i tried sudo mv aa.kext aa2.kext but then it complains aa.kext is readonly. What is the command to change that, so i can delete the file and hopefully boot again.

Rammjet Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Boot in single user mode (F8 then -s) mount -uw / cd /System/Library <--- correction rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache cd Extensions rm -rf AGPGart.kext <-- perform this for any other kext - you want to remove reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36881-how-to-disable-a-problemgiving-kext/#findComment-262281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hm, just tried that but it didn't work. The files extensions.mkext, extensions.kextcache and agpgart.ekxt are read only. I gues i have made to "deleteable" first, any idea how to to that?

Rammjet Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 The mount command is: mount -uw / not mount -aw / Also note the correction I made in the second line in posting above.

wow Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 The mount command is: mount -uw / not mount -aw / I did the mount -uw but i didnt use the / at the end, that seems to made the difference, becuasei now it worked!! Also note the correction I made in the second line in posting above. Yeah i saw that already before you edited it, after so many installs you know those files/places out of your head, lol Just deleted agpgart and now osx agian, thanks.
