No. > Under Leopard 10.5.6? (Bad Behavior: On Cold Startup, a certain kext > file doesn't get loaded, but with a Restart, it does). Is this a system kext? (ie stored in /System/Library/Extensions)? If go into /System/Library and delete Extensions.mkext, and reboot. This forces OS X to reindex, for lack of a better term, all the kext files it loads. This wil recreate the Extensions.mkext file. To find out what's going on you can see everything that's done once the filesystem is up and writeable during boot is written to either the console or system log. I've not rebooted since my logs were rotated, but if you reboot you can find this information in the logs. copy the portions from startup (there's a reference to a copyright owned by the California Board of Regents, to help you find it, the actual beginning of the boot time is a second or so before that) This is the beginning portion of my log from my last reboot, we'll need to see everything from this part to the end of the log for a reboot on your system: Feb 12 15:12:26 localhost kernel[0]: npvhash=4095 Feb 12 15:12:23 localhost com.apple.launchctl.System[2]: launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /Library/LaunchDaemons/ com.tenablesecurity.nessusd.plist Feb 12 15:12:26 localhost com.apple.launchctl.System[2]: launchctl: Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/ dashboardadvisoryd.plist Feb 12 15:12:26 localhost com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.blued): Unknown key for boolean: EnableTransactions Feb 12 15:12:26 localhost com.apple.launchd[1] (org.apache.httpd): Unknown key: SHAuthorizationRight Feb 12 15:12:26 localhost com.apple.launchd[1] (org.cups.cupsd): Unknown key: SHAuthorizationRight Feb 12 15:12:26 localhost com.apple.launchd[1] (org.ntp.ntpd): Unknown key: SHAuthorizationRight Feb 12 15:12:26 localhost DirectoryService[11]: Launched version 5.6 (v514.24) Feb 12 15:12:27 localhost kernel[0]: hi mem tramps at 0xffe00000 Feb 12 15:12:27 localhost kernel[0]: PAE enabled Feb 12 15:12:27 localhost kernel[0]: Darwin Kernel Version 9.6.0: Mon Nov 24 17:37:00 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.9.59~1/RELEASE_I386 Feb 12 15:12:27 localhost kernel[0]: standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us Feb 12 15:12:27 localhost kernel[0]: vm_page_bootstrap: 512445 free pages and 11843 wired pages Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: mig_table_max_displ = 79 Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: 96 prelinked modules Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=0 LocalApicId=0 Enabled Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=1 LocalApicId=1 Enabled Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: Loading security extension com.apple.security.TMSafetyNet Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: calling mpo_policy_init for TMSafetyNet Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: Security policy loaded: Safety net for Time Machine (TMSafetyNet) Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: Loading security extension com.apple.nke.applicationfirewall Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: Loading security extension com.apple.security.seatbelt Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: calling mpo_policy_init for mb Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: Seatbelt MACF policy initialized Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: Security policy loaded: Seatbelt Policy (mb) Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 mDNSResponder mDNSResponder-176.3 (Sep 30 2008 16:59:38)[16]: starting Feb 12 15:12:27 DBDEV2 kernel[0]: The Regents of the University of California.
