StartupItems.plist
Should be "StartupParameters.plist" I think. That's what I use.
Right, my mistake in the email.
OK. I thought so but it might have been the problem ;-)
So your kext bundle is actually installed inside the StartupItem?
Why not in /System/Library/Extensions/ ?
Apple strongly suggests the Library/StartupItems location for third
party stuff. I'll follow the rules.
Do you have any reference where this is documented? I'm not
suggesting it's not a good idea but until now the only way I saw to
get a kext loaded at boot time seemed to be to install it in /System/
Library/Extensions. It never occured to me that a StartupItem might
be used to load a kext.
Unless the kext is needed very early I guess it would work out fine
that way though.
Another thought is that StartupItems seem to be depreciated in favor
of the launchd mechanism. As far as I understand launchd though, this
particular way to use StartupItems is not easily converted into
something launchd could work with. There was a long discussion about
a similar topic on the Darwin-dev ML a couple of days ago.
It turns out to have been a misspelling in my script, MyKext. With
that fixed it does just what I want. Your comments here were very
helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome. Glad to hear you've got it working now.
