smeggy Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi, I have just installed Kalyway 10.5.2 (updated to 10.5.3 kernel 9.3) on a Gigabyte 945GCM-S2L motherboard with a Pentium DualCore E2200 CPU. Installation was a breeze and everything works (well the gigabit Realtek RTl 8111C worked first time then never again - even after restall!). So as I said everything works (SATA, PATA, GMA950, audio) but USB and Firewire drives won't mount unless they are connected at boot time (I have a PCI Firewire card installed). I have searched the site & I have been unable to find any answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

fr3ak! Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I've got similar issue with OS X Kalyway 10.5.2 upgraded in 10.5.3. Sometimes it's work and sometimes freeze at the beginning of OS (I can see wall and dock but nothing else) or when I plug device. I've read IOUSBFamily.kext may be the source of problems. If you found something please, can you share ? It make me crazy !

pritthish Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 did you upgrade using the kalyway combo update? if yes, i think you didnt install the 9.3 system.kext.. use pacifist to open the kalyway_10.5.3_kernel.pkg, locate the correct system.kext, install it... should solve the problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115166-usb-firewire-drive-mounting-issues/#findComment-817354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_maestro Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hi, I have just installed Kalyway 10.5.2 (updated to 10.5.3 kernel 9.3) ... but USB and Firewire drives won't mount unless they are connected at boot time (I have a PCI Firewire card installed). I had the same USB issue with both the Kalyway and JaS updates (tried both). For me, it seemed to be related to my Gigafast Wireless USB - one time I started up without it, and then plugged it in after boot and it found it, and subsequent drives and devices (mouse, keyboard) that I've plugged in after boot have worked. It also happened after one of the (rare) times I booted into Vista on my dual-boot setup, so don't know if that changed anything in the BIOS or whatever.

smeggy Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Well I seem to have fixed it! (Unfortunately only time will tell!) I used pritthish suggestions and re-installed the 9.3 kernel and all so far appears well (I may have originally installed the mod kernel but this time installed the vanilla kernel). I have tried at least a dozen times and each time USB and Firewire drives can be connected after boot and they mount. So, all in all I am very happy that this Leopard install is working just like a real one (super fast to boot, use and shutdown). To anyone thinking of building a hackintosh, I thoroughly recommend this motherboard (I have used many different motherboards for hackintoshes and this is far and away the easiest to install and use). So anyway, thanks pritthish! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115166-usb-firewire-drive-mounting-issues/#findComment-818590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
