Then, after reboot, your kext should run. Wayne

I'm trying to make a kernel extension launch at boot time by placing a startup item in Library/StartupItems. I have followed all the rules, I think. The directory structure is:
MyKext MyKext com.My.kext StartupItems.plist
All the permissions have been set by PackageMaker and seem to be right -- root, wheel
MyKext contains scripts to call kextload for the .kext
But it doesn't work. var/log/system.log seems to show a violation of permissions, but I'm not sure that is the problem.
Is there a sample installation for kernel extensions that I could examine?
thanks,
