Help is urgently needed....there are crucial documents that I need to get, if someone knows how to resolve, (slow boot up or not), I don't care...

 

Please, kindly take a look at the thread, see what I did, what I asked first, then what happened.

 

I can not boot up.

 

It just hangs.........

 

I was having slow boot ups....

 

was told to do this...

 

sudo -s

kextcache -e -z -a i386

kextcache -a i386 -z -k /System/Library/Extensions

 

 

reboot and notice the difference

 

I then asked if it was safe for hack n tosh and was told yes.

So I did it and my system only gets to the 9 seconds option screen where you can enter commands,

 

If I hit enter, I get the following, then it hangs...

I hope and PRAY that someone can help me.

 

Thanks!

Dk says this and I don't know either and if it will fix it....will it?

 

Anyone?

 

all it did was cache all kext that are 386 and not ppc.

it skips all ppc kext so seing how yours is still using 8.4.1 kernel you mey be dependant on some ppc kexts.

i would delete the extensions.mkext and extensions.kextcache then reboot. not to sure how you do it from single user.

So I take it knowone knows or is it just due to it being so late in that part of the country?

 

Only 6:43 PM here.

 

Thanks!

at the darwin boot prompt try:

 

-v -f and see what shows

 

or try -v -x for safe mode

 

hey retroz, cold in the valley isnt it?

Thanks, ok, here is what I did, -v -f got me back in, but I still had to type -v -f at every reboot, as you instructed, I deleted Extensions.kextcache and Extentions.mket and that solved the problem and can now get back in.

 

However, from time to boot (darwin) to getting online for example is still almost 45 seconds whereas it used to be 22 seconds or so.

 

So I am still searching for why this is and what you meant in the PM by PPC and 8.1?

 

Perhaps it has something to do with the internet connection kext?

 

Also, just FYI a restart is quicker than a cold boot.

Thanks for getting me back though.

 

wheeewh, that was close.

OK, I did the terminal command again, only this time there is no EXTENSIONS.kextcache nor Extensions.mket to delete, therefore I have to type -v -f every time at boot screen.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks...
