It's always a good idea to repair permissions, too.

 

diskutil repairPermissions /

dear everybody,

 

if I install a KEXT file (I repair permissions after install) I make a reboot and everything is OK.

But after a next reboot, I take a error message that the KEXT file is not installed.

I repair permissions again.... the same...

 

what is wrong???

Please help me...

copy files to /System/Library/Extensions

there are commands for each file you need to do:

 

chmod -R 755 /system/Library/Extensions/XXXXXX.kext

chown -R root:wheel /system/Library/Extensions/XXXXXX.kext

 

the XXXXX is the file name

 

 

for each file, then

 

rm /system/Library/Extensions.kext

 

if no KEXTCACHE

 

Reboot

 

IF YOU have KEXTCAHCE:

 

rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache (few people have)

rm Extensions.mcache

sudo kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

 

then reboot
