I can build the extension on my Mac OSX partition, but when I try to replace the previous extension, Darwin no longer boots. It gets stuck waiting for the root device. Is there anything special that I have to do to get the extension to work? Are there build dependencies? The installation of Darwin I have is the Apple binary 6.02 release. Dean's advice is excellent. Another possibility is that you built the family with logging enabled. I had a recent discussion with the IOATAFamily engineer in which he said trying to boot from an ATA drive with a logging version of the family installed likely won't work. The workaround would be to boot from another bus, FireWire for example. I haven't personally looked at this source, but I would suspect logging is enabled by a #define or -D compile line flag.
