Administrators Hervé Posted March 18, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2016 Personally, I don't believe the media slot could be an issue. I have a 2.5" SSHD disc for Windows in the regular SATA slot of my E6440 and an mSATA disc in the combo mini-PCIe/USB/mSATA slot for OS X. I switch from one to the other without any issue whatsoever and it does not matter which one is 1st in the boot list. Your cache issue is due to something else, maybe some kext you inject rather than cache or something along the line. Some BIOS option maybe? The difference on my installation is that I use Enoch and my BIOS is set to legacy mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal1969 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thank you for your reply, Indeed I don't believe this either. I removed msata and I isolated the problem to the following which acknowledge the kextcache problem. I need to do in single user / kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel / kextcache -system-caches. After that I can reboot as many times as I like. However when i shutdown the system completely i need to starter the whole process again. So it looks when I choose shutdown something regarding the kextcaching mechanism triggers something to be unable to boot the next time. I found out that there is a difference in the exit procedure shutdown or reboot. When you choose to shutdown or reboot the following is happening: Sandbox: rm(500) System Policy: allow(0) file-write-unlink /private/tmp/NVRAM/nvram.plist Sandbox: bash(501) System Policy: allow(0) file-write-create /private/tmp/NVRAM/nvram.plist Sandbox: chflags(502) System Policy: allow(0) file-write-flags /private/tmp/NVRAM/nvram.plist Can this be the issue? What about the SIP settings? Now I use : <key>RtVariables</key> <dict> <key>BooterConfig</key> <string>0x28</string> <key>CsrActiveConfig</key> <string>0x3</string> and CSR status gives : Dell-Latitude-E7440-OSX:~ admin$ sudo csrutil status Password: System Integrity Protection status: enabled (Custom Configuration). Configuration: Apple Internal: disabled Kext Signing: disabled Filesystem Protections: disabled Debugging Restrictions: enabled DTrace Restrictions: enabled NVRAM Protections: enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hannibal1969 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Yes I had that value too. I decided to change it to 0x3 but it didn't do the trick. I even found out now that when I shutdown the e7440 and try repeating booting it will boot after 5 - 6 times so I'm really out of options and ideas. Somebody at Insanelymac told me that he had this laptop too and he was telling me that the e7440 had tons of issues. He also stated that maybe go for just 10.10.2 and don't update was an option. Can someone clarifies his statement why 10.10.2 is a good option? He told me that with 10.10.2 the video card would work OOB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2016 I think he meant 10.9.2 or 10.9.1 before it got changed not 10.10.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal1969 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 mmm i'm considering selling my Dell E7440 for a real mac. Going back to 10.9.x is too much back IMO. I will try to do a legacy install and see if that will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted March 19, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2016 Sharing cache contents would be futile. It's dynamically built according to the kexts you have on your own system. One does not copy the cache from one computer to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
