[FIXED] Keyboard, trackpad, sound probs on HP dv6110us AMD

[annunaki]

So, I've been successful at loading iDeneb 10.5.4 modbin kernel 9.4.0 on an AMD dv6000 series notebook. There are several problems starting with some timing issues at boot with the nForce SATA deal among other things.

 

I just want to start to peck away at these one by one.

 

So, to the point. When the system boots up, a couple things can happen.

 

1. If I have a USB keyboard and USB mouse connected from the start, the trackpad, internal kb and most of the nice notebook volume keys work. System boots in approx 2 min. However, the sound is so choppy it's unuseable.

 

or

 

2. If I do NOT connect the kb/mouse, the system boots, then hangs for 5 minutes "waiting for the IOKit to quiesce". It will finish. The kb/trackpad/vol buttons do not work, but sound is pretty awesome. I can then plug in the USB kb/mouse.

 

I have the AppleAzaliaAudio kext installed from the iDeneb disc. The kb/trackpad stuff is ps2 I believe.

 

Full details of install can be found here...dv6110us iDeneb install

 

Any suggestions?

Has anyone had the same issue, but managed to fix it?

Sound, keyboard, trackpad, quickkeys (vol/mute) and network all work nicely together...mostly.

 

I am very excited to have found this method after searching for days. Forum member c_c has his Compaq Presario F7xx and it worked on my dv6000 series.

 

Here's the magic trick. In /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file, under Kernel Flags, add idlehalt=0 cpus=2. Here is what my com.apple.Boot.plist looks like:

 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/Property/List-1.0.dtd">
  <plist version="1.0">
		  <dict>
					  <key>Kernel</key>
					  <string>mach_kernel</string>
					  <key>Kernel Flags</key>
					  <string>-v idlehalt=0 cpus=2</string>
					  <key>Timeout</key>
					  <string>2</string>
		  </dict>
  </plist>

 

However, I still have to plug a USB keyboard and USB mouse in during boot to get all things working in harmony. After boot, i can remove them.

Hi ! Assuming you have a usb port on the right hand side of your machine - try plugging in any usb device (a flash drive / pen drive) on this side before starting up the laptop. Somehow, this seems to help getting the ps/2 keyb and mouse recognised. Also use ACPIPS2Nub.kext. That helps too. Easier to carry a pen drive along instead of a USB keyb and mouse :-)

Which ACPIPS2Nub.kext should I use?

 

I have also removed the trackpad kext to gain access of the vertical scroll feature. The only "downside" is that now my system now recognizes the trackpad as a mouse and is configurable through the mouse settings. No biggie.

 

I have tried just plugging in pen drive in right port, then left port, then one in each...no dice. Maybe after the Nub...
