<< Solved >> sudden boot error during progress bar

Hi Guys,

sudden change in my install this morning.
Hackintosh has been working 99% flawlessly for a year until today. I was not trying to install any updates.

Booting in verbose, this is the last page before it reboots. It doesn't hang, the 'emergency shutting down in 3 seconds' line shuts it down before any more lines can appear.
Taking a look I can see it's giving me "the vnode_lookup (error=2)" and "BootCacheControl: unable to open".

any suggestions on where to start would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
