mrogers Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 My hackintosh is running pretty darn smoothly with the exception of some USB hiccups. My biggest problem is with getting the images off of my Nikon D40 DSLR. I can usually plug the camera in via USB and read the card with no problem. However, that's not the best solution (drains the camera battery, slow, cumbersome, etc). I'd much rather use the card reader in the side of my Dell 2407wfp -- but it doesn't work. Most of the time, when I stick an SD card in it, nothing happens. Sometimes, it will appear to mount on the dekstop, but then the MassStorage process freezes and I'm not able to actually read its contents. I do see the Dell's card reader as a USB device in the system profiler, but it just won't work. I'm running 10.5.2 with vanilla kernel. Specs are in my sig. I've disabled legacy USB storage detection in the BIOS, to see if that had anything to do with it, but it didn't seem to make a different. I'm not sure what else to do to troubleshoot this. If it's just the Dell not getting along with hackintoshes, I'd be willing to buy another card reader. But I've seen others report on this forum that their Dell's card reader worked, so I'd like to figure out what's wrong here. I'd really appreciate any suggestions, because I take a lot of pictures.

mrogers Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Anyone? I still haven't been able to solve this. I sometimes have to clear my extension caches before it will recognize my camera too. Sometimes it then mounts two identical volumes, but it will only read from one. The other can't be ejected. In short, I just have a ton of weird problems with USB mass storage. I would really appreciate some advice on what to try next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
