Boooooommm Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Does anyone know why this happens? It started happening after i install the ATI ATA kext. For some reason if I don't make sure I erase the Extensions.kext and kextcache files, the system just won't boot up. I can boot in safemode to remove it, but that's because safe mode ignores those 2 files. Could there be something causing conflict with the file or is Mac OSX corrupting it when it creates it during boot up. I'm using a Compaq V2582 with an AMd Turion 1.8Ghz. To be honest, my only issue with the installation is that. Everything else is pretty usable. Except for QI/CE on the X200 video, everything else is working properly. This is my ONLY real gripe with the system. I get a weird lnattach error. Anyone have any idea why? (Yes i did a forum search but found nothing related to my issue) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40696-weird-boot-up-behavior/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawker Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 all i can think of is to set OS X to clear the kext cache durring bootup, get into safe mode, and find /Library/Preferences>SystemConfiguration>com.apple.boot.plist. Drag that file to the desktop and open it using text edit. Add this under the Kernel Flags section -f Save it, and drag it back to the folder, then reboot. Now your ext. cache will clear at every reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40696-weird-boot-up-behavior/#findComment-329163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
