I think that Stefan has the solution here.....

Jason,

The file name is Extensions.kextcache and it is at:

/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache  not
/System/Library/Extensions/kextcache

So you want to look in the /Systems/Library/ folder for the file.

Nolan,

No flames here...  Others avoid the Terminal too, but sometimes it 
really is the easiest way to go.  But I don't think this file is 
easily removed without using the Terminal, here is how you can delete 
the file.

1. Open Terminal


2. At the prompt enter:

sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

You can copy and paste this from here and it should work for you. 
This is what it looked like in my terminal:

Last login: Sat Aug 31 15:16:38 on console
Welcome to Darwin!
[gee4:~] brianf% sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache



3. Then hit enter, you will see the following message and a prompt 
for you password


We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things:

         #1) Respect the privacy of others.
         #2) Think before you type.

Password:



4. Enter your password...  (you won't see it) and hit Return/Enter


5. You will now see your name prompt again....  Voila! the file is gone.


Hope this helps

Brian
