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.

Can you boot from the Install DVD on the machine with the problem?
-- Dale
Removing all of the kernel extensions seems like a rather radical thing...yes, I can boot from the install DVD.
Try reading it again or put your glasses on, it deletes 2 files and only 2 files.
try: ls -lsa /Volumes/<HD-NAME>/System/Library/Extensions.*
Sorry, it's been a long night. That actually deleted one file, but I am still not able to boot the machine. It looks like it's time to restore from the backup in the morning. Again.
It's a single file cause it never completes the boot process.
Can you at any time boot from the external drive? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription:
