USB not working in 10.5.6

[meatbiscuit]

Hey all, been lurking in the forums for a while now and decided to start posting. Just picked up an Acer Aspire One 160GB.

 

Installed OS X via iATKOS_5i, install went smoothly. Upgraded to 10.5.6, again, everything smooth except for seatbelt.kext. Replaced it with the 10.5.5 version, mounting images works fine now.

 

The big thing is, I lost support for USB Mass Storage Devices. Any ideas? Anyone else having similar issues?

 

Thanks in advance.

If you have lost the half of your usb ports or they work now on 1.1 mode after update:

Here are the newest USB drivers update from SLICE for you, he has recompiled this kexts:

 

AppleUSBEHCI.kext (Plugin from IOUSBFamily.kext)

AppleUSBOHCI.kext (Plugin from IOUSBFamily.kext)

AppleUSBUHCI.kext (Plugin from IOUSBFamily.kext)

IOUSBMassStorageClass205.kext

 

I have added his new plugins to IOUSBFamily.kext and erased the vanilla ones.

Install with osx86 tools:

If you use osx86 tools to install, it will make a backup of your original drivers on a folder in your root called "OSX86kextbackup" so you can reinstall the vanilla ones if needed, if you follow a different way to install, don´t forget to make a backup from that two kexts.

I just updated from iAtkos 10.5.5 using Software Update to 10.5.6 and my USB devices no longer mounted until I replaced the kexts linked in this thread, thanks very much!

 

please can you tell me how to erase vanilla kext and how to install the new kents

The kexts are located in /System/Library/Extensions/

 

Unzip the kext files and then use Terminal (I find this easier than drag'n'drop with authentication) to delete and copy the files across.

 

To delete the kexts, make sure you have super user access "sudo -s", then:

 

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorage.kext

Assuming you unzipped your files onto your Desktop and your name is yehia, to copy the new files:

 

cp -R /Users/yehia/Desktop/IOSUBFamily.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/yehia/Desktop/IOSUBMassStorage.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

It might help to remove the extensions cache:

 

rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

After you've done that you'll need to repair permissions using Disk Utlity and reboot.

 

I hope that helps.
