re: Kanga media bay

As a byproduct of this, I realized (to my surprise) that there is still a functioning OHare driver compiled into the kernel. Does anyone know whether this is actually needed for a supported machine, or was it just an oversight?

Thanks for pointing this out; it is actually an oversight. Way back when we got kext loading working, we started pulling drivers and families out as fast as we could (till we had to lock down to ship). A few were left behind and we just never got around to cleaning things up. It won't be around in the next release of Mac OS X...

Subject: Kanga media bay

I think I've figured out the problem with the media bay on Kanga. The problem is that the AppleMediaBay::start () method is calling

waitForService(serviceMatching("OHare"));

but the OHare::start () method doesn't call registerService (). So the AppleMediaBay::start method never completes.

As a byproduct of this, I realized (to my surprise) that there is still a functioning OHare driver compiled into the kernel. Does anyone know whether this is actually needed for a supported machine, or was it just an oversight?

In any event, it is simple enough to subclass OHare and get it to call registerService ().
