Re: Boot failure "in memory mkext" error

I had a 10.51 server, with a Softraid mirror volume, when one of the disks in the mirror had a problem. The machine was completely hung, so I rebooted it.

It won't boot now. I have tried the limited softraid troubleshooting (clearing the boot cache when mounted on another machine), but unfortunately their site seems to be down right now.

I also removed the secondary disk that failed from the RAID but it will still not boot. In verbose mode, I get a message repeating endlessly that said "in-memory mkext doesn't match on-disk mkext' non-boot kexts won't be loaded."

rm /Volumes/<HD-NAME>/System/Library/Extensions.*

Once you have done this you should try to boot on the actual machine and not another machine.


I googled for that error and various pieces of it but found nothing.

Any thoughts on this?

I'd rather not have to restore from the backup again. This has not been my week.

Can you boot from the Install DVD on the machine with the problem?
