Ok. Then install AppleJack. It is a shell script that runs in
Single User Mode. In that mode, it can do a full repair of the disk
volume, as if you were booted from some other disk.

Run the AppleJack installer.
Then to run AppleJack, reboot your Mac while holding down cmd-S.
This will put you into the raw unix shell - the underbelly of OS X.
Then type the command 'applejack' and hit return. It will then give
you an old fashioned menu. Tell it to do everything.
"everything", btw, will include clearing the kernel cache just like
OnyX can do. Of course, this is done after that all-importand Repair
Disk step.
