Charles Albert Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I was trying to install a different version of the VoodooPS2Kext, then when I was rebooting I've ended up in the grey screen asking to restart my mac. What should I do to restore my system? I know that the safe mode option is -x but it ain't helping, the system crashes anyway. Is there a way to access the file system and replacing the kext with the one that was working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thund3rbolt Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 try booting with -s -x -v then if u can /sbin/mount -uw / if that works u can replace the kext manually or just delete the voodoops2kext and plug in a usb keyboard on the next boot. As a tip I always keep a copy of a working /Extra on the drive so I can just delete the non working /Extra and mv the good /Extra into place quickly if I have too.

Luckily, I keep the EDP Extra.zip in the system root, so I just need to unzip and run the edp script \0/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
