So my hackintosh is runnning 10.11.1, booted from clover, and I am trying to get my ps/2 keyboard to work. I followed the posted instructions for RehabMan's VoodooPS2Controller by installing the VoodooPS2Controller.kext, adding the org.rehabman.voodoo.driver.Daemon.plist to /Library/LaunchDaemons, and VoodooPS2Daemon to /usr/bin, but the keyboard still doesn't work. It functions in both Windows, Linux, and Clover.

I have tried to install the kext in both /Library/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions and rebuilt the cache for both, but no luck

What is the problem, the kext is not installed properly having a message like "can't load"?

Or the kext loaded fine, informs something, but keyboard keep silence?

When I boot up in verbose mode, I can find nothing that makes reference to the kext, although it is installed in S/L/E. However if I also add the kext to clover, verbose says it is rejecting the kext because another version is already prelinked. This would lead me to believe that the kext is loading from S/L/E, just not functioning. Is there another way to check? I have also tried just loading the kext through clover alone, but the keyboard still doesn't function.

I think this is enough to conclude that the kext is not working.

You should find debug version and look for output. Or compile by yourself.

I never tested PS2 under ElCapitan.

So installed the debug version, and the VoodooPS2Daemon.log reads 

Wed Dec  2 17:26:34 2015: VoodooPS2Daemon 1.8.19 starting...
No ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad or ApplePS2Mouse found

My PS/2 keyboard is plugged in but it doesn't seem to detect it. The VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext is also contained within the installed VoodooPS2Controller.kext. Is there another log I could check or anything I can do to fix this?
