Hi, I'm encountering an odd problem, that seems to be occurring on
both 10.4 and 10.5. I have a C-based kernel extension (_start/_stop
routines) that is loaded by a launchd daemon on startup and unloaded
on shutdown (when the daemon gets a signal).
The kernel reports (via printf messages) that it has been unloaded, in
other words the _stop function was called, and it got to a point where
all resources should have been freed and then it returns KERN_SUCCESS.
However, the output on the screen stops at the following and sits there:
continuing
Proper shutdown (when the KEXT is not installed) results in this output:
continuing
done
CPU halted
I'd be very grateful for any ideas or theories as to why this is
happening, what could be going wrong, as I'm not sure where to look,
everything seems to be right..
Much appreciated,
- Greg
