I'm trying to make a kernel extension launch at boot time by placing a
startup item in Library/StartupItems. I have followed all the rules, I
think. The directory structure is:
MyKext
MyKext
com.My.kext
StartupItems.plist
All the permissions have been set by PackageMaker and seem to be right
-- root, wheel
MyKext contains scripts to call kextload for the .kext
But it doesn't work. var/log/system.log seems to show a violation of
permissions, but I'm not sure that is the problem.
Is there a sample installation for kernel extensions that I could
examine?
If you're installing your kext in /Library/StartupItems, here is an
example:
drwxrwxr-t 54 root admin 1836 Dec 10 2005 Library
drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 204 Feb 11 14:03 StartupItems
drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 340 Feb 22 22:30 MyStartupItem
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Nov 29 2005 MyKext.kext
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2662 Aug 9 2005 MyStartupItem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 741 Aug 9 2005 StartupParameters.plist
Please note that on Mac OS X 10.2 (I don't remember if the fix was in
10.3 or only 10.4), you need to set the root:wheel permissions in the
postflight script as Installer.app does not set them correctly.
