creating /Extra/Extensions.mkext
sleeepy:
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext is created automatically if I delete the old one and boot with -f.
However, this doesn't seem to recreate /Extra/Extensions.mkext
Or am I missing something obvious (like some documentation somewhere?)
Also, is there something that I can do in /Extra in order to prevent the loading of a kext from /System/Lib../E... without supplying a replacement.
Thanks in anticipation
sleeepy:
Its OK. Someone just told me to google kextcache. I can work it out form there.
savestheday:
Check out Mkext Tool, does the job perfect...

And if you build the correct Extensions.mkext for your system, does that mean you have to delete the Extensions folder inside of Extra?

I resolved that problem by using a different directory name to hold the kext and running a modified copy of Munkys update script.

The kext reside in /Extra/KextStore and are never loaded from anything but the Extensions.mkext cache file.
