nicpon Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have Kalyway installation running on my ibm thinkpad t42 nicely, but I have a weird problem with USB ports or drivers. If I connect a flash drive, the light on the flash drive light lights up, but I can't find it anywhere in the system. Under the 'system information' usb section it says flash drive, is connected, but it doesn't seem to work. Same thing happens when I connect a intellimouse to it. It shows up on one of the USB buses as the correct device the mouse light blinks, but it never functions properly. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with my leopard installtion?

I had somewhat little different problem than yours, where both my USB kb/mouse and b/tooh dongle works, but neither usb flash drive nor ext. hdd get recognised. I replaced my kexts with kexts from http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117029, and all my usb problems are solved. I am using iAkatos v4.1 btw. HIH, cheers!
