Hi! I noticed an issue with older kext versions being reported with kextstat | grep -v com.apple. For example, Lilu 1.3.9 is shown but EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other has 1.4.2 installed (and I've verified there are NO other versions anywhere in my EFI subfolders or /S/L/E or /L/E. I'm definitely looking at the right EFI (the ONLY EFI) for my boot volume. I've rebuilt the kext cache and restarted multiple times in the course of my searching/experimenting.

Even weirder: WhateverGreen 1.3.4 is showing via kextstat but that's no longer installed (I removed it awhile back) and I can't figure out where it's even getting loaded from.

I used kextfind to list all paths and searched for Lilu and WhateverGreen but they don't appear anywhere (I assume because they're injected from somewhere). Hackintool also shows WhateverGreen as being installed. None of these tools tell me from where they're installed, though, so I'm really struggling here.

I've been searching the forums but can't find a post that quite hits this (maybe I'm not using the right terms). It's time to ask for help. :)
 
Maybe they are cached.

In Terminal :
Code:
sudo kextcache -i /
