Just installed os x86 10.4.8 on my laptop (took a few hours of fiddling with .kext stuff to get networking working, because I'm a noob at this). Problem is (one of them at least...) is that no usb devices are detected at all. The little light goes on one of my usb drives, but nothing happens. Both my other usb drives don't light up or work at all, and my usb mouse doesn't do anything.

According to my Windows system info, I have Intel 82801GB USB Universal Host Controller things.... vendor id 8086, device id 27C8

Any advice?
Thanks.

if someone could atleast tell me where to find the .plist to edit so i can add my vendor id / device id... or anything

if anyone has any ideas, please reply .

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=28559 Read this thread. I followed the instructions there and it worked on my Fujitsu S7111, Intel^® Core™2 Duo Processor T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB).

PCGenUSBEHCI_2.6.1a.zip can be alternatively downloaded from http://x86osx.com/bbs/download.php?id=pds&...9&filenum=2

[Steps I used]
sudo su
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleUSBEHCI.kext
cp -R <path to>/PCGenUSBEHCI.kext /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUSBEHCI.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUSBEHCI.kext
touch /System/Library/Extensions
shutdown -r now

Install IOUSBFamily.kext version 256.4.2
Reboot + verify OHCI (USB 1.1) operations
