Hi,
Someone else wrote on another thread I didn't want to use so I start this one, which should be short
Kexts can ONLY be in /System/Library/Extensions.
The use of /Extra/Extensions was originally designed for use in earlier versions of OS X and is no longer supported.
I think I was advised to create an Extra folder at the root of the drive - eg OS X > Extra folder - and then to put .kexts into this folder.
This is at odds with the need to put kexts into S/L/E
If I add a kext or two, for example FakeSMC, or any other kexts where are they supposed to go?
S/L/E ?
The vanilla install of OS X has a whole bunch of .kexts installed and I thought possibly these are the factory kexts as it were and any I added would go into the Extra / extensions
I think this is important to know totally what the situation is - thanks
