Kernel Cache issue?

[robi62]

I have tried that then usb keyboard would not work
I have done it by booting in single user and then used you commands
It worked and now I can boot in that volume again...

Glad you got it figured out. Yes, assuming you can get into single user mode (and things like the keyboard work), you can do it that way too.

But it is strange that "-f" didn't help you. Indicates some sort of issue with the set of kexts you have installed if you can't boot to a working system without cache.

i have no idea why it does not boot with -f
Desktop is showing mouse is moving but cannot open any programs or folder

Originally osx disk was for a dell d630 I just put some kexts for the E6400 to work

Of course we are talking about model with a nvidia card not intel

I must say it is quite fast better than d630 any my fujitsu s6410s but still not as good as probook 4430s

Although I must say that easiest laptop to install osx is Fujitsu same specs almost as macbook 2008

You should probably start over with a fresh install so you know what you have...

Curious @RehabMan, best way to clear kext caches in Sierra in single user mode as follows?
mount -rw /
# DO STUFF
rm -r /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches
touch /System/Library/Extensions
kextcache -update-volume /

To update kernel cache, I always use

kextcache -i /

This post just saved my bacon. Thank you so much! I could only boot in user mode after messing up a kext patch.
