update still relatively valid for 10.2.2
Authored by: smkolins on Nov 21, '02 08:54:18PM

This in 10.1.x:
if [ ! -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext -o
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext -ot /System/Library/Extensions ]; then

if [ "${SafeBoot}" != "-x" ]; then
ConsoleMessage "Updating kernel extensions cache"
rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
/usr/sbin/mkextcache -l -t `arch` -o /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
-d /System/Library/Extensions
fi
fi

becomes this in 10.2.2:

if [ ! "${netboot}" = "1" ] ; then
if [ ! -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext -o
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext -ot /System/Library/Extensions ]; then

if [ "${SafeBoot}" != "-x" ]; then
ConsoleMessage "Updating kernel extensions cache"
rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
/usr/sbin/kextcache -elF -a `arch`
fi
fi
fi

With some modest changes to the original instructions similar correction to the behavior of appletalk returns! Specifically amend to include "n" as such
/usr/sbin/kextcache -elFn -a `arch`
and delete the Extensions.mkext file in /System/Library/
and reboot (btw, it seemed to me that this file was rebuilt after finishing a normal boot but form then on was available and taken advantage of.) Note "mkextcache" has become "kextcache" but the file it creates is still "Extensions.mkext".

Previous to doing this I could access my 10.2.2 box from appletalk (appletalk enabled in network pref pane and use appletalk set in via SharePoints) it would seem to lockup during some transfers and favor appletalk to the exclusion of IP connections. Now it can use appletalk and work consistently and it doesn't always only use appletalk (though I'm not sure I've nailed all the variables affecting this.)
