Interesting; we are seeing this issue,, or a similar one, as well. In
fact, we were just talking about it today. 10.6 seems to ignore the
kext in the main directory, and instead attempts to load the 10.5 one
under Plugins.
One thing that seems to help is removing the Plugins directory in your
kext. Does that help in your case? I have been wondering if this is a
bug in Apple's kext loading routines.

I've got a couple of KEXTs which have one binary for 10.5/10.6, using various Xcode build options to distinguish 32 from 64 etc. Each of these also has a sub-KEXT which is for 10.4, located in Contents/Plugins.
The problem I'm having is that on 10.6.* sometimes, generally after an upgrade, the 10.4 version of one of the KEXTs is loading instead of the 10.5/10/6 version.
The 10.5+ KEXT has:
- KPI versions 9.0.0 or greater
- Probe score of 2000
The 10.4 version of the KEXT specifies:
- KPI versions 8.0.0 or greater
- Probe score of 100
Usually everything is fine, and after a reboot everything is always fine, so I know that he right files are getting installed.
I don't see any messages in system.log that would indicate a problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Kevin
