Could not load KEXT #8

Open pistoletpierre opened 10 years ago

pistoletpierre commented 10 years ago

When I print the contents of the log file or output them, there are just a bunch of lines like these:

![Could not load KEXT : Mon Jul 28 15:38:52 201 ![Could not load KEXT : Mon Jul 28 15:39:02 201 ![Could not load KEXT : Mon Jul 28 15:39:13 2019:13 201

It should be noted that I'm running the OS X 10.10 Yosemite public beta.

Maybe it is affected by Yosemite's new kext signing requirement. Trim Enabler has a similar problem and suggests a not so perfect solution, see here: http://www.cindori.org/trim-enabler-and-yosemite/.

Did that work?

The message is coming from line #124 of logKextDaemon.cpp, which calls load_kext, which tries to run:

/sbin/kextload -b "com.fsb.kext.logKext"

and gets:

com.fsb.kext.logKext failed to load - (libkern/kext) not privileged; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).

This StackOverflow link explains the issue, and points to this hackintosher post about how to work around it.

I'd be happy to find out how to sign something myself but I'm not keen to open up my system to unsigned extensions or otherwise play with nvram...
