You see yellow text when starting up in verbose mode or single-user mode.

Products Affected

Mac OS X 10.0

Symptom

Some of the text that appears in verbose mode or single-user mode is yellow.


Solution

You may safely ignore the yellow text unless you are a software developer. If you do not develop software, verbose and single-user modes are only needed when you are troubleshooting the computer for a startup issue.

A software developer working on a kext (kernel extension) should use the information in the yellow text to address potential issues with the kext.
