Majorix Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I am having a bit of trouble starting a .kext on boot. All the other kernel extensions I tried to load did load fine, but for this one (a ZD1211b kext) doesn't want to load automatically. I can kextload it all good. How do I add it to the startup list?

komeet Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Did you use the Zydas installation package from here? ftp://ftp.zyxeltech.de/ZyDAS/ZD1211_USB/M...all_4_5_7_0.dmg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97981-how-to-load-a-kernel-extension-automatically/#findComment-699798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majorix Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for the very fast replies people. try "KEXT HELPER b7" it should be under apps in most distros! SticMAN That helper didn't help me. I had to reinstall the driver again Did you use the Zydas installation package from here? ftp://ftp.zyxeltech.de/ZyDAS/ZD1211_USB/M...all_4_5_7_0.dmg Yes I did so.

Superhai Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I am having a bit of trouble starting a .kext on boot.

If it is a device or pseudodevice kext, you have to edit the Info.plist so it matches with its nubs or similar. Other kexts should just load as long as they are in the correct S/L/E folder and correct permissions. Of course you have to make new caches as well!

Majorix Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 OK no worries. After a reinstall of the said driver it all works now.
