The system caches KEXT information in a bunch of places, primarily to speed up the boot process. The canonical way to clear those KEXTs is to touch "/System/Library/Extensions" after installing your KEXT . Does your installer do that?

I would think installing a kext in /System/Library/Extentions should cause the "modified" date of the /System/Library/Extentions directory to be updated. Is that different somehow if a previous version of the kext already exists?
