Re: Help! Can't get kext to load at boot...
Brad, KEXTs only load on demand, meaning that something has to ask for them. The properties you've mentioned below are correct to make a driver available at boot time, but without something asking for it, it won't actually load & start. At boot-time, the only thing that currently generates KEXT load requests is I/O Kit via it's matching logic. If your kext is not an I/O Kit kext, then there really isn't anything you can do to get it to load prior to root being mounted. Hope this helps, - Dean On Friday, October 3, 2003, at 04:25 PM, Brad Post wrote: I'm at my wits end. I have tried everything to get my kext to load at boot time and it's not working, so I am hoping someone can help me. I've got the following set in the Info.plist OSBundleLibraries com.apple.kernel.bsd = 1.1 com.apple.kernel.mach = 1.1 com.apple.kernel.libkern = 1.1 OSBundleRequired = Root I have tried using kextcache and it reports no errors, it's just after I reboot the kext doesn't. I have tried the simple generic kext as well and it doesn't work, so can someone help? I need to be able to support 10.2 and later, so I am still using Project Builder... Thanks.
