HackerKitty Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 After what seemed to be a successfull in-place upgrade from El Capitan to Sierra, I just noticed that I do not have USB 2.0 ports anymore. I ckecked System/Library/Extensions and noticed I am missing AppleUSBXHCIPCI.kext. I have no idea how I lost it I am currently using no custom DSDT.aml and have only 3 kexts in the CLOVER/kexts/Others folder. FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext FakePCIID.kext FakeSMC.kext Could anyone tell me where I can find AppleUSBXHCIPCI.kext? My M/B is ASUS P9X79 WS. Onboard ASMedia USB 3.0 ports are working, so as Inateck KT4004 (FL1100 EX chip) and KT 4006 (FL1100SX) PCIe cards. Only Intel USB 2.0 ports are missing.

HackerKitty Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 hello why u don't grab it from installer image .. good hack I think it is because I was running previous El Capitan with custome made DSDT.This no longer works in Sierra. So I cancelled it. I think I did not have AppleUSBXHCIPCI.kext since that time. [Edited] I forgot to mention. But this DSDT.aml was originally made for a similar but slightly different M/B (Sabertooth X79). After careful examination of the two (P9X79WS and Sabertooth X79), I realised that everything is identical except for USB2/3 arrangement. Obviously rewiting of the DSDT.aml is called for. But for the time being, I decided to use USB 3.0 ports only - like a real Mac With the additional 2 expansion cards, I have 9 USB 3.0 ports in total. It is more than enough, in fact.

HackerKitty Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 I finally solved it! One forum member kindly pointed out a file from this site: http://www.rampagedev.com/?page_id=48 I found SSDT.aml files for ASUS P9X79 WS and Core i7 4930K there. All I did was just copy those 2 files under CLOVER/ACPI/patched That was it! There is still no DSDT.aml there. Just those 2 files (SSDT.aml, SSDT-1.aml) Now all my onboard USB ports (2.0/3.0) are working as well as external PCIe USB 3.0. I now have over 20 USB ports - perhaps a little too much but much better than not enough 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
