El Capitan stuck on load
Hi,
After upgrading to El Capitan, it fails to load and gets stuck every time.
On the developers forums there were plenty of people with same issue and good samaritan Max108 made the following steps
- Boot into Recovery Mode (cmd+R)
- From the central menu open Disk Utility.
- Then select the "Macintosh HD" partition, then the "Unlock" from the "File" menu (If you don't see "unlock" then go on to step 4 - If you don't see "Macintosh HD", stop and post back)
- Select all of the writing in bold below and press cmd+C to copy it to the clipboard:
cd "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" ; ls -1 Library/Extensions/ ; find Library/Application\ Support -iname *.kext ; find Library/Filesystems -iname *.kext ; find System/Library/Extensions -ctime +2d -depth 2
- Then go to the Utilities menu, open Terminal and press cmd+V to paste the long command into it.
- Select all the output from that and press cmd+C to copy it to the clipboard.
The list from the output gives the idea which kext are not letting your mac boot and Max108 was helping people to resolve this problem.
Here is my output from the command
cd "/Volumes/Mac HD" ; ls -1 Library/Extensions/ ; find Library/Application\ Support -iname *.kext ; find System/Library/Extensions -ctime +3d -depth 2
