TaNdT Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I have a wierd problem after i updated from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Everything works exept the mounting of USB flash drives (even a external harddrive through USB). My USB keyboard and mouse are working fine. It seems that the system detects the flash drive but it doesn't mount it. I have tried to replace the IOUSBFamily.kext and the IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext from 10.5.7 but it didn't work. It mounts when i have it plugged in and reboot the system or when i delete some kext from the /System/Library/Extensions/ (or touch the folder). It works for a short while. But after a while i have the problem again. I have no more ideas. Pls help (Sry for my bad english) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179025-problem-after-1058-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Had a similar issue with Tiger these days ... try hardmounting it via /etc/rc or rc.common I know, this is just an ugly workaround, but it helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179025-problem-after-1058-update/#findComment-1221584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilpostus Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 If you have had NOT VANYLLA kernel installed in your system, and replaced it after the update (instead of the kernel the update has installed), then your problem is there. If so you must replace System.kext in System/Library/Extensions folder to the correct version together with your "not vanilla" kernel (usually those kernels comes together with System.kext; see the zip or whatever file you got your kernel packed). The trick is that the System.kext MUST match the kernel installed in your system. The system will work, but with some bugs eg. you got. Updates usually replace some or all .kexts in System/Library/Extensions folder, there fore kernel and System.kext versions doesn't match. You may check if it is your's case by booting with -v flag (F8 > -v > Enter). There will be a message about kernel and System version mismatch. Also you can check it by launching the Console.app (located in Applications > Utilities). Select system log in the left pan. This will show you the same output as seen during the boot process. Hope this is helpful info Good luck! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179025-problem-after-1058-update/#findComment-1226477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefe Hobs Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 yep that's it @ Das_Human if you don't need a vanilla kernel or you have trouble with, you can search the AnV-XNU-1.4 kernel and install it! it installs the 9.6 xnu-kernel and the 9.6 System.kext this should solve your usb-auto-mount problems Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179025-problem-after-1058-update/#findComment-1226609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
