Deleting a kext

[srs2388]

Hey everyone... first off thanks to jAs and to everyone else who contributed to the install disk......

also I have a slight problem on deleting a kext file.

 

Could someone tell me how I would go about deleting a kext?

I need to delete the nvidia kext

*I think*

Here is a screenshot so someone who knows how to delete them will know where it is located and can give me the command to do so.

 

please and thank you.

Give this a try.

 

sudo kextunload "yourkext.kext"

If you want to remove the kext:

rm -R /System/Libarys/Extenstions/name.kext

you need to be root to do this so:

sudo rm -R /System/Libarys/Extenstions/name.kext

or

su
rm -R /System/Libarys/Extenstions/name.kext

In single user mode, you have to do this:

 

CODE
sudo -s	 <----- To make sure you are root (just in case)
cd /System/Library
rm -rf Extensions.mkext
rm -rf Extensions.kextcache
cd Extensions
kextload [kextname]	 <----- To make sure the kext is found
rm -rf [kextname(s), separated by spaces if multiple]
reboot

Thank you! =D ... Too bad it didn't work no worries though... I'm going to just download a different DVD installer... that is the 10.4.8 version....

Again thanks for the help everyone.

I don't see how installing mac again is a big deal....as long as you have backed up. It only takes like 15 minutes to do so (reinstall). Good luck

I wish it was 15 minutes to install. Takes alot longer on my hacintosh. Last install I did from the JaS 10.4.8 PPF1 DVD was well over 1/2 hour. DVD access very slow during install. But of course it flies when installed.

My install took about 20 minutes... but I only selected the intel patch and not all the other stuff... that slows it down a lot.

my last resort is to download the 10.4.6 it is so big.

Here is a screen shot... Is there another kext I should delete?

I deleted it and the same error comes up

Guess I really need to look at the image.

 

Does OS X boot up or hang at the screen below? If it boots up and seems to work normally then I personally wouldn't worry about it. The NVDANV10Hal.kext does belong to the GeForce video (very old if my thoughts are correct.) If you have a 6xxx(?) or a 7xxx then it uses NVDANV40. You could try to delete this kext so the error won't appear.

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV10Hal.kext
sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Then reboot.

it stops at the adding browse domain local part...

I did all of that and it got rid of the other errors it still doesn't want to boot though

Thanks for helping me out
