I think that kextload requires that the .kext folder is owned by the user root and the group wheel. You should try a "sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/TIVCPSerial.kext". If it still complains about validation, you may have to remove write permission to the "group" and "other". (By checking the man-page for kextload: " An authentic kext's component files [...] are owned by root:wheel, with permissions non-writable by group and other. ") If I remember correctly, this wasn't required on older versions of MacOS… Jean-Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev
