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)

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 :(
