We did not change anything which would affect bootability in 5.7.5, so this must be a different issue.

Here are a couple ideas:
Boot from another volume with the same OS X version.
(You can start with 5.7.3, yes)
Run SoftRAID
Reinstall SoftRAID driver into your main startup volume.
See if it can startup now.

If so, try updating to 5.7.5 again.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I ran in to a non-bootable Mac after updating 5.7.3 to 5.7.5 (Full SoftRAID) This is not an important machine, so I'll investigate later. 

I inadvertantly updated a production machine as well (SoftRAID Lite). Oops, lets NOT REBOOT here... I force-quit SoftRAID app after it updated, fearing I might run into the same issue.

So I now have Kext 5.7.5, with rebuilt boot caches, reboot pending.

I very much want to go back to 5.7.3 untill I understand what happend with the other machine this got stuck.

I would now like to downgrade this Mac to 5.7.3. It seems that not really possible while booted from the volume.

So, is it safe to:
- Manually replacing the 5.7.5 KEXT with the 5.7.3 one
- touch /System/Library/Extensions
- sudo kextcache -Boot -U / ** Not shure about this command
- reboot

Or is there another solution, apart from booting form another volume with 5.7.3?
(Both are running El Capitan 10.11.6)]]></content:encoded>
