xiberia Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 my Asus mobo sort-of works - a USB mouse and USB graphics tablet work fine, but USB card-reader and USB camera don't work (it doesn't even give me an error). I'm going to try the 10.4.3 kexts again today (once I re-install 10.4.3) because my card-reader etc was working in 10.4.3 on this mobo.

urig-herb Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I'm going to try the 10.4.3 kexts again today (once I re-install 10.4.3) because my card-reader etc was working in 10.4.3 on this mobo. But which kext's? There are many with "USB" in the name. My card reader also doesn't work with 10.4.5 and my USB speakers need one reconnect-connect cycle to function.

xiberia Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 which kexts? that is the problem. i just tried IOusbfamily.kext and IOusbmassstorageclass.kext from 10.4.3, and my card reader still doesn't work. well, if i boot with -v Darwin recognises the usb ports, but i still can't get it to work once in OSX. now it worked in 10.4.3, so its probably some other kext that has changed since 10.4.4.... which one(s) is the question. i'll try all the combinations this weekend and try to sort this out. --- update: I've tried most of the kexts and no joy. I think its maybe a bios thing, because I'm getting the following on startup: Mar 4 11:35:20 localhost kernel[0]: USBF: 11.899 EHCI controller unable to take control from BIOS Mar 4 11:35:20 localhost kernel[0]: USBF: 11.899 AppleUSBEHCI[0x1aa4800]: unable to obtain ownership: 0xe00002be Mar 4 11:35:20 localhost kernel[0]: USBF: 11.899 AppleUSBEHCI[0x1aa4800]::UIMInitialize - Error occurred (0xe00002be) Mar 4 11:35:20 localhost kernel[0]: USBF: 11.901 AppleUSBEHCI: unable to initialize UIM maybe is smbios, or the kernel.

alberto Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 I fixed it! I copied the IOusbfamily.kext from 10.4.3 in the /library/extentions directory, did the chown -R command (look in the wiki), rebooted my pc and now all my usb devices work. External Harddisk is slow, but i am happy my usb devices work.

nyuszivagy Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 ok, I fix it here is what to do: open up Terminal in your 10.4.4 system Terminal: sudo -s sudo cp -R /Volumes/YOUR 10.4.3 DISK/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext /System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions chown -R roor:wheel /System/Library/Extensions kextcache -e -z -a i386 kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions -z -a i386 sync now reboot, and your USB device work's!

xiberia Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 thats brilliant - i now have highspeed-usb and everything works again! so my advice would be - if you're INSTALLING 10.4.4, at the place in Maxxuss's instructions where it says copy over IOnetworking.kext etc from 10.4.3, MAKE SURE you copy IOUsbFamily.kext too. Will save you a lot of hassle word of warning: if you're going to try Nyuszivagy's instructions, and you've done this tweak: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=10878 make sure you REMOVE the tweak before you do it. Otherwise you'll get kernal panic at boot. If anyone DOES get a kernal panic at boot, then boot into safe mode -X, and delete your system/library/extensions.kextcache and extensions.mkext. then it should boot ok. --- I'm SOOOOO happy i've got my USB stuff working again, to celebrate I'm going to completely uninstall Windows. wOOt!

Proteo Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Yeah, I got it and tried it. No success for me though. It stinks. Have you tried disabling legacy USB support in your BIOS configuration?

I did that and followed the steps described by nyuszivagy, now my USB devices are working just fine. What is "legacy USB support"? Not to sound dumb or anything, but the only thing I can disable is the USB controller and I asssume that's not what you mean.

xiberia Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 "Legacy USB support" is whereby your computer can run USB devices in DOS. For example, if you have a USB keyboard, and you want to mess around in DOS, you would need to have Legacy USB Support enabled. If you switch off Legacy Support, USB devices will only start working once XP/x86 starts loads up. Now, there are problems in x86 if you enable Legacy Support. I think its because x86 is an EFI system, so doesn't recognise bios/dos etc. I couldn't get USB to work until I disabled Legacy Usb Support. To do this, switch on your PC, hold down DEL, and when you get into the bios, you should have an option to "Disable Legacy Support", under your USB options/configuration. If you don't have this option, well.... erm...
