agree with Doc & silvarios on this one.
Fixing permissions isn't the fix. It's probably more beneficial to do a safe boot and flush the caches.
These two files, Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache can get corrupted by rogue installs. They're both used @ startup to get the correct Kernel Extensions loaded.
To force rebuild these caches, both files are deleted. There are FREE utilities available to perform this task; OSX86Tools is just one .
Terminal Commands used are:
”sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext”
and
“sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache”
