Thank you again, but maybe I was over excited until I ran into a problem.
I was first testing the kext by temporarily loading using kextload and everything was working perfectly, as you can see.

So I decided to add it to the Extension library, once I rebooted, I got kernel panic, sam as the one described in the below link.
Any idea how to fix this?

I downloaded the source code and I think I know what call is throwing the exception, however I have never compiled kext , is there a "how to" to compile kext

Thanks

heh, over 50 views and no single reply.
well well, I am now using this workaround
- create a shell script that sleep for 30 second and then run the kextload command
- add the script to launchd to run on startup

30 second is needed for the system to fully load, otherwise, I will receive the same error as stated in the first post

You should downgrade to 1.4.0 which is currently the latest stable version. It should fix your problem.
