djtrix Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 So everytime i start up my laptop and go into OSX whatever USB devices i have connected get detected, Several lines after the IOUSBFamily.Kext gets loaded. But once the system is loaded if i plug in a USB device nothing happens. I have searched through the forums and found no solutions that worked. Things i've tried: 1) IOUSBFamily.kext from 10.4.3 and 10.4.5 2) IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext from 10.4.3 and 10.4.5 3) Delete FPMemDriver (doesn't exist in my install to begin with) 4) Disable legacy USB support in BIOS (option doesn't exist in my laptops very limited BIOS) 5) Non ACPI mode as a bootup option (I get a kernel panik) Does anyone have any other ideas? I mean, there must be something thats getting called while the os is loading that searches for new devices on the USB bus, if i could just figure that out i could call it manually, or perhaps even fix my problem. Is there anyway of seeing the order in which OSX loads the kext files? Is there any equivalent to the linux hotplug command within OSX/Darwin? Thanks for your help in advance, -Dre Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14309-getting-usb-devices-to-autodetectautomount/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtrix Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'm having the same problems here.The gutting thing is, this is stopping me from using the usb wifi adapter thats at my shop atm. still poking around though.. Hey man, I just downloaded the 10.4.5 version of IOUSBFamily from http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers...d/usbdebug.html its funny that posting kext files violates the DMCA but apple offers those very same kexts available to everyone on the internet. Inside this package you also get USB Prober, an aplication which has a gui specifying a whole bunch of nifty usb debug info, install and then execute with: /Developer/Aplications/...../USB\ Prober im not sure exactly what the ..... part is cause im in windows atm, but im sure its pretty easy to figure out. I'm currently messing around with this tool and doing kextload/kextunload of various Plugins in the IOUSBFamily. Haven't quite figured it out yet, but i think its a good start, let me know if you make any progress! -Dre Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14309-getting-usb-devices-to-autodetectautomount/#findComment-92693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
