You can reduce the reboot delay if you turn on HFS+ journaling for
all file systems. If you boot into MacOS 8 or 9, you should shutdown
MacOS X cleanly before doing so.
I'll take a look at that thought. Thanks.
Have you tried booting into single user mode and manually loading
the necessary kernel extensions?
Loading and unloading isn't the problem. The problem is that the test case produces a panic. I have to reboot after that. I tried a lot of things to try and isolate the trigger. What I found is that if I set the kextcb->e_fcb value to anything other than null in my test kext's socreate() hook, the third party extension will call panic(). I'm thinking, what business is it of theirs what that value is... besides the issue of why a kernel extension would ever call panic(). Seems to me if their kext is confused it should just bow out gracefully in any case.
