Reinstall Kext from Backup folder in Single User Mode -s

Boot into Single User Mode by using the -s boot-flag

1. Allow for the modification of files by typing:

Code:

/sbin/mount -uw /

2. Change directories to /System/Library This will shorten some of the commands we have to type in.

Code:

cd /System/Library

3. Copy the kext from your Backup extensions folder to the /System/Library/Extensions folder

Code:

cp -R /Backup/forcedeth.kext Extensions/forcedeth.kext

4. Set the proper permissions for the extensions folder.

Code:

chmod -R 755 Extensions/

5. Set the proper ownership for the extensions folder.

Code:

chown -R root:wheel Extensions/

6. Touch the extensions folder

Code:

touch Extensions/

7. Remove the extensions cache to force OSX to rebuild it with our new kext.

Code:

rm -Rf Extensions.mkext

8. Reboot using the boot-flags -v -f
-v Verbose Mode displays useful information durring the boot process.
-f Forces OSX to load kexts from the extensions folder instead of the cache file. We did delete the cache file so this is just a precaution.

Silly me. I did'nt know there was a 2nd page. Thanks for the effort, Lance. I figure that restoring back to where it was brings me back to the original problem. And not knowing that there was a 2nd page that is waiting for me to read and respond, I decided to install version 10.5.6. Well, I just did to night and the new version seems to work fine. Thanks a lot for your help. Your description of the script commands was a great help to me.
