VPC 7.0.1 Tiger Kernel Extension load problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Hi

Since upgrading to OS X 10.4.1 and VPC 7.0.1 I get the following
entry in my system log after booting.
____________
SystemStarter[48]: Operating System enhancements for Virtual PC (191) did not complete successfully
SystemStarter[48]: The following StartupItems failed to properly start:
SystemStarter[48]: /Library/StartupItems/VirtualPCOSServices
SystemStarter[48]: - execution of Startup script failed
___________________

The Startup script basically justs attempts to load the kernel extension.

When I attempt to do so manually...

________________________
sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext
Password:
kld(): Undefined symbols:
_convert_port_to_processor
_host_info
_host_kernel_version
_host_priv_self
_host_processors
_host_self
_host_statistics
_kernel_pmap_store
_kmem_alloc_contig
_kmem_alloc_wired
_per_proc_info
kextload: kld_load_from_memory() failed for module /Library/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext/Contents/MacOS/VirtualPCOSServices
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /Library/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext
load failed for extension /Library/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)

sudo kextload -t /Library/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext
can't add kernel extension /Library/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext (validation error) (run kextload on this kext with -t for diagnostic output)
kernel extension /Library/Extensions/VirtualPCOSServices.kext has problems:
Validation failures
{
"Kext has a kernel dependency prior to version 6.0 and CFBundleVersion does not match executable's MODULE_VERSION" = true
}

______________________________________

VPC runs and loads the machine image. I am not familiar enough
with the new version to tell if it is running properly.

It seems to be OK but perhaps I am missing something.

Any insight?


Thanks
