Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... 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: All the permissions have been set by PackageMaker and seem to be right -- root, wheel 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? If you're installing your kext in /Library/StartupItems, here is an example: Please note that on Mac OS X 10.2 (I don't remember if the fix was in 10.3 or only 10.4), you need to set the root:wheel permissions in the postflight script as Installer.app does not set them correctly.
