When doing a kextload -v 6 I'm getting this output:
kextload: authenticating extension /Users/stephane/Projects/Complete

kextload: authenticating bundle directory
/Users/stephane/Projects/Complete Mess/build/Test.kext
kextload: extension /Users/stephane/Projects/Complete
Mess/build/Test.kext is not authentic
What is it supposed to mean?
BTW, I really like this other output which is giving me a
Windows-like answer:
[coyotte:~/Projects/Complete Mess/build] root# kextload -t Test.kext
kextload: can't open /Users/stephane/Complete
Mess/build/Test.kext/Contents/MacOS/Test
can't add kernel extension Test.kext (file access/permissions) (run
kextload on this kext with -t for diagnostic output)
Humm... on my system using the -t option I get more informative
message about access/permissions (try using sudo kextload -t
Test.kext).
I am running as root when doing the kextload -t Test.kext call.
Anyway it most likely has to do with the addition security
verification in Mac OS X...
Read file:///Developer/Documentation/ReleaseNotes/KernelExtensions.html
I basically use a scripts to copy my kexts over to my test system
(into a test directory), setup file permissions correctly, generate
symbols (copying back to my dev system), etc.
I checked this too. The files access/permission are properly set as you
described it.
I found the issue. There is a bug in the kextload code or in the shell
code.
When the absolute path of the file contains a character with an accent
(like a ` (or à if you prefer the HTML version)), then the kext
is not loaded.
Gone filing a bug report.
