Do I miss something ? Hi Alain, I had thought, actually, that "Fix" was no longer an option. The general rules for kexts are that all items be owned by root:wheel (uid:gid is 0:0) and that nothing be writable except by root. That usually translates to mode 755 for directories and 644 for files. If you specify "fix" and restart, do you get the same message again, i.e. did "fix" cure the problem? Yes. when MyKern script is installed with group/owner: wheel/root the kernel extention not longer load !!! #!/bin/sh /sbin/kextload /Library/StartupItems/MyKern/MyKern.kext ....
