First of all thank to orByte for the method to correct USBEHCI driver
http://forum.insanel...showtopic=28559
He is disappeared making only version 303 that is not enough.
I open new topic because I can't update orByte's topic with new version.

Previous my correction USB308 works!
Now sources 315.4.1 is available at Apple's site and I can easy rewrite it by orByte's method.
This is corrected sources and my compilation. All targets can be compiled except IOUSBFamily and IOUSBLib. Use stock similar.

EDITED 03.08.08
My kexts are not tested yet so be ready to return to version 308.

EDITED 21.11.08
I corrected EHCI and UHCI plugins for sleep support

That's all!

EDITED 19-09-2008
Apple publish 10.5.5 sources. IOUSBFamily is the same but IOUSBMassStorageClass is updated!
There is my compilation with small corrections.

EDITED 19-12-2008
New compilation from 10.5.6 sources. I change version to 3.2.8 to differ from Apple's kexts.
What new? I add support for Intel ICH4-5, 9 (ICH10 added by Apple), NForce (MCP79 by Apple, MCP78 and other by me), SIS7001.
Some internal mistakes corrected.
All files tested in 10.5.5 so it compatible with old systems (Leopard only!).
You also may try my IOPCIFamily.kext v254 to improve interrupts handling.

New compilation from 10.5.7 sources. Now version is 3.4.4. This version include all previous fixes, new DeviceIDs and forced sleep capabilities even if it is not really supported (as discussed with Hafnium).

AppleUSBEHCI[0x3849800]: unable to get filterInterruptEventSource

then it is not USB problem. It is a problem with interrupts in whole system.
If USB sometimes works, sometimes no then it is the same problem.
To solve it, download my new IOPCIFamily v2.6.1 (from my signature). It may correct such problems!

thanks a lot, I will try them tonight and report back

[Slice]

There is compilation from DMDIMON. (now he is dmdimoff)
There is a difference

[dmdimoff]

hi )
I recovered my 2-nd pass so i'm here

Thank Slice, works perfect in my Asus P5B with 10.5.4

Hi Slice,
I tried your 315 but it's a no go for me.

Here's the error log:

 2AppleUSBUHCI is not compatible with its superclass, 17IOUSBControllerV3 superclass changed?
 Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleUSBUHCI.
 Couldn't alloc class "AppleUSBUHCI"AGP: not supported e238

The 308 loads fine. However, even though it could detect my USB devices (Kingston thumdrive / Memorex external HDD) in the System profiler, it doesn't mount or show up in the Desktop.


Here's what I did:
1. I unzipped your 315 file
2. I chown/chmod the files  to 0:0 755
3. I deleted similar files found in /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
4. I copied the files over to that directory
5. Deleted the following:

/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches

6. I rebooted
7. Entered -f -v as boot options

My Rig:
Kalyway 10.5.2
AMD 64 X2 4200
Asus M2V mobo
VIA8237A chipset

1. show your dmesg or system.log
2. what compilation did you try: my or dmdimoff?
3. did you replace IOUSBFamily.kext  provided by dmdimoff?
4. did you try set in BIOS legacy USB support?

It's up there in my post. That's what it shows when I used your 315 sources.

2. what compilation did you try: my or dmdimoff?

I used your USB315.kexts.zip

Quote

3. did you replace IOUSBFamily.kext  provided by dmdimoff?

No. Am I supposed to do that? I'm using the default IOUSBFamily.kext from the Kalyway install disk. I just replaced the files in the PlugIns directory with the ones you have provided.

4. did you try set in BIOS legacy USB support?

Yes.

I think I will try number 3 above and see what happens. Thanks!

[dmdimoff]

I recommend use _or_ full slice compiled kexts _or_ my.
Just becoase I used xcode 3.1 against leo 1.5.4 libraries and slice cross-compiled under Tiger for leo.

PS. I cleaned some small glitches and give sources back to him.

Okay.

• I deleted the IOUSBFamily.kext from my /System/Library/Extensions/
  
• I unzipped the file you provided. I copied the IOUSBFamily.kext from there into /System/Library/Extensions/
  
• I fixed permissions. Deleted caches.
  
• Reboot with -f -v as boot options

My devices were not detected. Here's the dmesg:

Looks like OK!

i'm curious since i haven't seen anything, but what does this driver provide over the apple supplied ones in 10.5.4?  whats different.

[dgan]

Hi! I'm going to test your drivers dmdimoff

   I have a question about bios config... Do I have to set BIOS legacy USB support as enabled or disabled?

  Do I need to set another configs on BIOS about USB?

   Currently I have a strange problem. My pendrive is detected but all the time the os x alerts me with this message: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". Os X recognizes pc formatted pendrives so that's the reasson I think the problem are the extensions.

   Anyway, I'm going to test with this drivers and post the results when I have something.

   Thanks!

[dmdimoff]

2 dgan - try legacy both ways. and honestly i don't believe that you have driver problems. Try format your pen drive from macos, see what'll happen

2 sg on some boards with quirky BIOSes macos can't get control over USB with vanilla drivers.

Not really.
I could not use my USB keyboard. (It's not detected)
Also, if I plug my devices (thumbdrive/external hard drive), they don't get detected at all.

So I restored my IOUSBFamily.kext from the Kalyway install disc and just used the Generic EHCI driver from orByte.
I have read somewhere that in order for my usb devices to be detected properly, I have to stick in it before booting/power on. It worked. I am now able to hotplug my usb devices.

I hoped that your driver would have done it, but thanks anyways.

@dmdimoff

I noticed that in the zipped file you provided, there are tons of kext files in them.
Among them is "IOUSBFamily.kext"

Now my question is, do I copy all of these kext files into /System/Library/Extensions or just IOUSBFamily.kext?

I'm quite confused because I thought the kext files in your zipped file should be copied to /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/

[dgan]

Thanks dmdimoff, you're right! I was able to found another pendrive and it works perfect, even formatted as a windows (fat16) pendrive. So the problem is not the formatting, is my pendrive!

  Still, should you recommend me to update my drivers with yours?

[dmdimoff]

2 mhacleth - there are 2 ways - you can copy all exept IOUSBFamily, logger kext and prober app to /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
or take a look inside original IOUSBFamily and add additional plugin kexts from there into my IOUSBFamily - they are unmodified

2 dgan - if it works, don't touch it

[mhacleth]

@dmdimoff
I'll do that on Monday (Philippine Time). Thanks for all your hardwork!

[mhacleth]

@dmdimoff

No go...

The kexts load successfully. My devices appears in the System Profiler.

BUT, they are not mounted. :-(

My USB keyboard is also not detected.

[dmdimoff]

can you mount devices from disk utility? what filesystem on them? have you ever mounted them successfully under macos?
do you using simple keyboard or some model with usb hub/media control in it?
can you see keyboard in system profiler?
what happens when you unplug and than plug them in?

basically if you can correctly see  device in system profiler its ok with drivers
