Jim_Smith Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I recently installed ideneb 10.5.6 (with vanilla 9.6) on my desktop computer and for the most part it worked. But, it refuses to recognize any usb devices. I have searched through the whole forum and other forums as well and can't find any posts with the same problem. They don't show up in system profiler, they don't show up when I reboot, nothing. It simply doesn't know they're there.

I had a similar problem with my iPod. The 10.5.6 update places new seatbelt.kext and system.kext files that break USB connectivity on AMD boxes. These kexts are from 10.5.5, when it worked.

Open Terminal and type: uname -a post the results.

Jim_Smith Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Are you sure you are running the Vanilla 9.6.0 kernel? Open Terminal and type: uname -a post the results. My Mistake. I meant to write Voodoo. But I did what you said and apparently It's version 9.5 Darwin owner-aca47173a 9.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.5.0: Sat Dec 6 19:39:54 IST 2008; Voodoo; Release 1.0 :xnu-1228.7.58/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 seatbelt.kext.zipsystem.kext.zip Install these two kexts.

I tried this and although it did fix my shut down issues, it did not fix my usb problems Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/159697-usb-devices-not-recognized-at-all/#findComment-1123486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure the files he linked to are fine but you can also try the 9.5.0 system.kext available from the Voodoo team http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/ The download includes this and you can install and give it a try. Remember to make sure the permissions are set correctly and that OSX rebuilds the extensions cache. Open Terminal and type the following after you copy the new file over (Its a bit of overkill but it will cover everything): sudo -s cd /System/Library/ chmod -R 755 Extensions/ chown -R root:wheel Extensions/ touch Extensions/ rm -rf Extensions.mkext diskutil repairpermissions / Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/159697-usb-devices-not-recognized-at-all/#findComment-1123505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried all of those things and none of them worked now for the good news I finally got fed up with my bios hanging whenever our printer is turned on and disabled usb legacy support and now it recognizes all my devices. problem solved Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/159697-usb-devices-not-recognized-at-all/#findComment-1123539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
