Hi Eric,
Mike's suggestion is a good one.
I'll also suggest that you go back to your build process and check that
carefully. I've had several occasions where I was able to build the
kext with warnings but no errors and it wouldn't load.
Just for completeness, also check the plist and other packaging things
(ownership, permissions, etc etc). It could be that they were OK in the
old build folder but haven't been recreated correctly. I would expect
these to at least give you an error upon kextload, but you never know.
Regards.....Peter

Greetings,
I ran into something like this a while back (my KEXT silently not
loading). My case wasn't that I'd tossed the build directory. I can't
completely remember the details but I think I had the start and stop
functions not exported properly.
In any case, I do remember that I figured it out by adding "-v 6" to
the kextload command. This causes it to generate a verbose log of the
load attempt. If there is a missing function or dependency problem
this should expose it. Try this and if you're still stuck post the
results. (I also always ran a tail -f on the system.log file.)
Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
I've encountered a bizarre problem that has me completely baffled.
Maybe
someone knows what's going on...
I have a network kernel extension that I've been working on for the
last few
months. It has loaded, spit out messages to the system log, and
unloaded
all as expected for all that time, until today.
For reasons I can't begin to imagine, now when I load the kext, I get
no
errors reported, but The kext MODULE_START and MODULE_STOP functions
never
get called.
I can't come up with any change that I have made that could cause
this to
break, except that I tossed my build folder, to force a complete
rebuild
without remnants from the past.
I'm using Project Builder 2.1 on 10.2.3 (and 10.2.4).
I even tried checking out a previously tagged version that was known
to work
properly. I get the same problem with it. It's like there was
something in
that old build folder that made things ok, that's now gone.
The kext includes a client interface implemented through an IOKit
personality. That all seems to work fine. It's just the NKE side of
things
that's not happening.
Any thoughts?
Eric Long
