VPrime Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi, I just installed Kalyway 10.5.2 - updated to 10.5.4, Every thing works perfectly except my front USB ports. The rears (4) work perfectly fine, but the fronts do not work at all. I installed the USB fix 1.3 but that did not help at all. I am using a USB keyboard and mouse if that makes a difference at all.

Gujal Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Some motherboards have this issue if "USB Legacy Emulation" is turned on in the BIOS setup. Either disable that which may cause issue for you as you are using USB mouse and keyboard OR Install pcgenusbehci.kext which solved the problem for me on Asus P5B motherboard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117990-front-usb-ports-dont-work/#findComment-836416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPrime Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks, I will try the USB legacy Emulation tomorrow (though I am using USB keyboard and mouse... will try any ways) How do I go about installing pcgenusbehci.kext, and where do I get it? Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117990-front-usb-ports-dont-work/#findComment-836434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Click on the PCGenUSBEHCI link in my signature. The topic covers the installation details Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117990-front-usb-ports-dont-work/#findComment-837637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPrime Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks, but I Ended up fixing it... It ended up being some thing with the kernel, downgraded the kernel and all is fine (I think I accidentally updated kernel when updating to 10.5.4) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117990-front-usb-ports-dont-work/#findComment-838052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
