USB Problems

[Ducttapelad]

I recently Installed Kalyway 10.5.2 but in order for my PS2 trackpad to work and for the system to run at a reasonable speed I had to disable legacy USB support in my Bios.

 

Now whenever I want to have a usb device plugged in I have to plug it in at boot time which is really inconvenient when I am trying to sync my ipod.

 

Is there any way to fix this so I can use USB w/o enabling the legacy support?

 

I have a toshiba satellite A105-S171, Intel Celeron M Processor, Ati Radeon x200 graphics,

Try changing kernel. I had the same problem. It was solved when I used modbin kernel 9.2.2 (type in bootloader : modbinkernel).

Okay will try thanks,

 

...

 

I tried that at the boot loader and it gets to the grey apple logo and then reboots

 

Is this normal or is something wrong

 

EDIT:

 

Yup nothing works, my system is sse2

 

 

thanks though

Plug your iPod in after your machine has booted, then manually load the IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext via terminal

 

Your Ipod will then be detected.

 

There is a way you can get the kext to load at boot by creating a launchd. I used a program called Lingon before - but I noticed in my console that it was trying to load the kext like every 30 seconds.That's probably because I set some parameters wrong. So I just use the manual method whenever I want to hot plug any USB devices - but that's jus my preference.

Thanks for the response,

 

I opened terminal,

 

typed

sudo -s
cd ../../System/Library/Extensions
kextload IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext

It said

kext loaded successfully.

but my Ipod still wouldn't mount

What kernel version you running (Can be checked in system profiler)? Also what is the version of the "System.kext" in your extensions folder? (Right click, click info to check the version.)

My System.kext version is 7.9.9

 

My kernel version is Darwin 9.2.0
