What is the benefit of using the kernel cache on boot?
Is it just a speed thing?
I have Mavericks installed on a Dell Precision T3500.
I currently have
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>
in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file but the machine will only boot about one in 5 times.
The other 4 times, after I select OSX from the boot menu, the HD runs for a brief second then stops.
Not changing anything, 1 in 5 times it will boot normally.
If I boot using IgnoreKernelCache, it will boot 100% of the time.
Thus my question, other than speed is there any other benefit to using the kernel cache?
Should I just give up and delete that from the .plist file?
