10.4.5 on Emachines M6805

[henchman]

I installed 10.4.5 on my emachine slaptop, buit now the USB doesn't work.

I copied the USB kext files form the preferences on the 10.4.3 disk, after extracting them.

Still no go.

I am having the same issue, so bump.

[VampireHunter_D]

The IOUSBFamily.kext from 10.4.3 does work in 10.4.5 on the m6805. I will try to figure out what the differences may be (I see version bumps in the Info.Plist, but there is more to it than that). Even though the AppleUHCI stuff is what is timing out I think it may have to do with the hub kexts. If I figure it out I will post more. Trying to get some networking to work first.

Since I had to search for it and piece it together for anyone looking to get wireless working (BroadCom MaxPerformance 54g) with the m6805 (or m6809+?) follow these steps for 10.4.5.

 

1.) Make sure you have the IO80211Family.kext

 

2.) Modify

 

/System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

through nano as root(sudo).

 

3.) Add to the Info.plist

 

<string>pci14e4,4320</string>

 

in the <array> tag

 

I.E.

 

<array>

<string>pci14e4,4311</string>

<string>pci14e4,4312</string>

<string>pci14e4,4306</string>

<string>pci14e4,4320</string>

</array>

 

and save.

 

4.) Do a permissions repair with the disk util and reboot.

 

5.) After reboot as root(sudo) nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

 

and change

 

<key>BSD Name</key>

<string>en0</string>

 

and

 

<key>IOInterfaceUnit</key>

<integer>0</integer>

 

to

 

<key>BSD Name</key>

<string>en1</string>

 

and

 

<key>IOInterfaceUnit</key>

<integer>1</integer>

 

for the section <dict> of the airport device.

(If you have somehow another en1 that is a usb wifi dongle or something else make that 2 or remove the drivers and its <dict> section)

 

Save the file and reboot. If all goes well the airport will be available. You might need to go to the network preferences so it alerts you that a new airport device is available. Good luck!

I was able to get my USB workign under 10.4.5.

I think the version I was tru=ying to use was in fact not from 10.4.3, even though I extracted it from the exetensions on from the DVD.

 

I downloaded the Extensions that just popped up topday as a separate torrent, copied the USBFamily.kext etc., and USB is workign fine now.

 

Now, if I can get sound out of both speakers playing back at the right speed, all is 100%.

 

I have Airport workign as well.

[VampireHunter_D]

I still can only get the left channel too. Did you set it to 48khz though? That really helped with the scratchy popping.

 

Go to Application/Utilities/Audio Midi Setup. Select the output device and set it to 48 rather than 44Khz.

 

I am wondering if some of the other ac'97 kexts will work. I may try later.

 

(Sorry if you have already done the above, but I figure if someone does a search for m680x at least they might hit this thread to help them out)

I still don't have USB working on my M6805, with OSx 10.4.4.

I've tried to download IOUSBFamily.kext 10.4.3 from http://developer.apple.com and put it in /System/Library/Extensions/

Then I use

 

kextcache -e -z -a i386 
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions -z -a i386
sync

 

I think I got some errors during kextcache execution, but I don't know what to do

I have an error message during boot, like

link / load error AppleUSBEHCI.kext and AppleUSBUHCI.kext

 

If you have any suggestion ?

I think USB it's the most important thing I need now

 

Thanks

Auto-reply :

 

I've installed IOUSBFamily.kext 2.5.6 (for OSX 10.4.7) from http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers...d/usbdebug.html

and I finally got USB working

 

My USB mouse is ok and my external HDD too. That's great !!

This worked great to get my emachines m6811 up and running wireless. Thank you very much!!!! As a new user of Mac, have to say very impressed with this hacked version on this emachine laptop. Now only issue for me is the usb mouse, works, but leaves temporary pixels once clicked. Think is has to do with slowly processing, nothing i cant live with. Thanks again for this workaround.

How did you get video in native resolution?

 

thanks
