On a Snow Leopard machine, is it safe to delete the contents of the /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/ directory? In install logs, it is seemingly the cause of a failed install of a kernel extension.

Try sudo kextcache -e in Terminal first. This rebuilds the kext caches. –  Daniel Beck Feb 27 '11 at 20:21

Yes, deleting the caches just means they'll have to be rebuilt on the next boot, so the next boot will take a few extra seconds.
