Mac OS X uses a 32-bit kernel on both 32-bit and 64-bit capable processors. You should set your ARCHS build setting to "ppc i386" to deliver a universal kext.

The Generic Kernel Extension template may be incorrect. Try IOKit Kernel Extension.

   This would be much easier if I had a makefile to
work from. I am using the default project setting
generated by xcode 3.0 for the generic driver. Can’t
seem to generated a makefile. From what I can see from
the IDE the relevant option are: the optimization is
oo, target architecture is ppc64, instruction
scheduling is G5, warnings are set for pointer sign
comparison, mismatched return types. I was assuming
the defaults created by xcode to be correct. Not sure
where the 64b is from.
  This is the first time with OSX kernel code, done
Linux, Solaris, Windows and hpux. If can help with the
makefile part, it would be much appreciated.

Thanx sorry,
The error was:
"error: size of array'__CAST_DOWN_CHECK is
negative"

What about the compile line? It seems like you are
building is 64b.
What is passed for -arch when you see this error?
