Brad,
KEXTs only load on demand, meaning that something has to ask for them.
The properties you've mentioned below are correct to make a driver
available at boot time, but without something asking for it, it won't
actually load & start. At boot-time, the only thing that currently
generates KEXT load requests is I/O Kit via it's matching logic. If
your kext is not an I/O Kit kext, then there really isn't anything you
can do to get it to load prior to root being mounted.
Hope this helps,
- Dean

I'm at my wits end. I have tried everything to get my kext to load at
boot
time and it's not working, so I am hoping someone can help me.
I've got the following set in the Info.plist
OSBundleLibraries
com.apple.kernel.bsd = 1.1
com.apple.kernel.mach = 1.1
com.apple.kernel.libkern = 1.1
OSBundleRequired = Root
I have tried using kextcache and it reports no errors, it's just after
I
reboot the kext doesn't.
I have tried the simple generic kext as well and it doesn't work, so
can
someone help?
I need to be able to support 10.2 and later, so I am still using
Project
Builder...
Thanks.
Brad
