BTW, I really like this other output which is giving me a Windows-like answer: [coyotte:~/Projects/Complete Mess/build] root# kextload -t Test.kext kextload: can't open /Users/stephane/Complete Mess/build/Test.kext/Contents/MacOS/Test can't add kernel extension Test.kext (file access/permissions) (run kextload on this kext with -t for diagnostic output) Humm... on my system using the -t option I get more informative message about access/permissions (try using sudo kextload -t Test.kext). I am running as root when doing the kextload -t Test.kext call. Anyway it most likely has to do with the addition security verification in Mac OS X... Read file:///Developer/Documentation/ReleaseNotes/KernelExtensions.html I basically use a scripts to copy my kexts over to my test system (into a test directory), setup file permissions correctly, generate symbols (copying back to my dev system), etc. I checked this too. The files access/permission are properly set as you described it. I found the issue. There is a bug in the kextload code or in the shell code. When the absolute path of the file contains a character with an accent (like a ` (or à if you prefer the HTML version)), then the kext is not loaded. Gone filing a bug report. _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
