Is there a method to force Mac to load AirPort and Audio driver while loading -x mode ? I`ve got some problems under -f mode ( trying to fix them but... ) so i`m using -x mode . Unfortunatelly no Wifi and sound there - is there a way to force system to enable those functions in -x ?

-x mode is a mode in which only loads the drivers which are neccessary for the system, like Safe Mode in Windows (F8).

Field Note #2 @Anonymous 2008-02-03

actaully, what if you used sudo force kextload -s? and manually loaded all the airport and sound kexts? or just sudo kextload -s
