Greetings, I ran into something like this a while back (my KEXT silently not loading). My case wasn't that I'd tossed the build directory. I can't completely remember the details but I think I had the start and stop functions not exported properly. In any case, I do remember that I figured it out by adding "-v 6" to the kextload command. This causes it to generate a verbose log of the load attempt. If there is a missing function or dependency problem this should expose it. Try this and if you're still stuck post the results. (I also always ran a tail -f on the system.log file.)

I have a network kernel extension that I've been working on for the last few months. It has loaded, spit out messages to the system log, and unloaded all as expected for all that time, until today. For reasons I can't begin to imagine, now when I load the kext, I get no errors reported, but The kext MODULE_START and MODULE_STOP functions never get called. I can't come up with any change that I have made that could cause this to break, except that I tossed my build folder, to force a complete rebuild without remnants from the past. I'm using Project Builder 2.1 on 10.2.3 (and 10.2.4). I even tried checking out a previously tagged version that was known to work properly. I get the same problem with it. It's like there was something in that old build folder that made things ok, that's now gone. The kext includes a client interface implemented through an IOKit personality. That all seems to work fine. It's just the NKE side of things that's not happening. Any thoughts?
