Hi

It appears this is a common issue but the solution is different per user.

I ran the command posted in other posts and the output is as below


Appreciate if someone can help.

Sorry if I missed it - which pre-release OS X are you still using?

Actuallly I installed El Captain from the App Store. I couldn't seem to find the correct category for my question. Sorry if I posted under the wrong section/place.

Wrong forums, actually, as your question is user-centric, I think. Might want to use Apple's public community support forums unless this is an IDE, etc. issue, thanks.

Okay. This is my first time posting. I thought this is the right place as everybody seems to post it here asking for help on the same issue, and one of the users, Max, appears to offer some constructive solutions for the problem.


Anyways, thanks for the instruction.

These forums are about to be closed (OS X 10.11 Beta Forum Closing)

I should point out that I'm not affiliated with Apple in any way, but if you would like to request personal help, please contact me on MacMax108@gmail.com

Hey there - exact same issue over here. Huge pain.
How can you tell which kexts are the ones causing the problem?


Here's my results from running that script:

-bash-3.2# cd "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" ; ls -1 Library/Extensions/ ; find Library/Application\ Support -iname *.kext ; find System/Library/Extensions -ctime +2d -depth 2

Hi Testy,


I'm happy to try to help. Because troubleshooting these issues is different for each system, it gets complicated trying to do more than one per thread so I'd appreciate it if you could start your own thread by copying your post and pasting it as a new question to: OS X 10.11 beta


Thanks,

Max

Jerome, did the commands above enable your system to boot normally?

Hi Max


It works! Thanks for the help!

Sorry for the late reply as I am in a different time zone, and I have been out the whole day.


I appreciate your help, saved me the trouble from doing a clean install.


Thanks!


Jerome

You're welcome.

Glad it's sorted for you 🙂
