brampower Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hey guys, I'm having some trouble here. Whenever I install OSX86 (I've tried almost all versions, so it doesn't matter wich version), the keyboard doesn't work. However; in the install progress the mouse and keyboard work fine. But when the install is complete it says something like 'Before you can continue, please insert your keyboard'. So my installation basically becomes useless. How come? And how can I fix this? I already tried the PS2Fix if it is available in the build, but that doesn't do the trick. The weird thing about this is that it still works in installation.. Thanks in advance! P.S. I'm trying to install it on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 3910 laptop Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180383-osx86-doesnt-find-my-mousekeyboard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWiz Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 It works with the DVD because the DVD HAS the driver you need to get your keyboard working. The issue here is that you have the wrong driver or you are missing the appropriate driver. Also check to make sure the installer isn't already installing custom PS/2 drivers because they will probably conflict with the good drivers that you have selected. Right now all I can recommend is to take time to do trial and error with every PS/2 driver one at a time until you find exactly the one you need then do another fresh install installing everything you need including that PS/2 driver.

Grunchy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 By the way, was there any resolution to this? I have the same issue: keyboard & mouse work fine during install, once my Everex SA2053T laptop reboots there is no function. How do you "try other drivers", how do you do that? It works if I use an external keyboard & mouse. So I can boot into the system and type commands into terminal. Which commands do I use? Thanks!!

TheGun Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I was also wondering how you try different drivers from the DVD. Mine had also worked in install but no keyboard or mouse on first boot??

MacFlavio Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I have a similar problem with an old Toshiba Satellite 1405 laptop computer. I'm using iPC 10.5.6 final. Using the PS/2 fix enables my keyboard, but on every boot up (with the -v flag) I get the following error message: Class "AppleACPIPS2Nub" is duplicate Dupliace class kmod_control/start failed for com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPS2Nub; destroying kmod Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPS2Nub. I read that sometimes disabling USB legacy keyboard and mouse support in the BIOS helps, but I haven't tried it myself yet. Any other ideas ?

bazooka Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hey guys! Please help me... I have a Fujitsu Pi 3560 notebook, but my problem is: I've installed Snow Leopard 10.6.2 PC Universal, osx boot after "successful" install, but PS2 keyboard & mouse are not-usable. I copied to the S/L/E folder: AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext ApplePS2Keyboard.kext ApplePS2Mouse.kext VoodooHDA.kext & VoodooPS2Controller I don't know, what's the problem...?!

qwertytyper Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'm a complete newb at this, and my keyboard is getting me into all sorts of trouble. I'll give you a rundown: 1. Installed iDeneb 10.5.8 on partition2 of my Win7 Dell Inspiron 15xx 2. Flagged Win7 partition as primary, booted into Win7, FreeBSD's Mac onto the boot manager list 3. Yay! OSX loads! Breakthrough for me. I do the required set-up...then it asks for my password. And things get strange... The box is typing itself. The little password-dots keep filling up, as if my keyboard has a key stuck down. It doesn't. I click in the "your name" box where I typed my name and discover it's the 7 key that OSX thinks is stuck. Not knowing what to do, I click "next" and finish the setup. 4. Then....OSX appears- my new desktop. Everything's looking good....until I try to do stuff. Because the 7 key is still held down. It's selecting everything in it's path, and I can't type. I boot back into Win7, get Kext Helper on a flash drive, boot back into OSX. I try and use Kext Helper on a PS2 Kext I hope will work....then it asks for my password. Which is about 594 7's in a row. So I can't use it. I use a Dell USB mouse and the PS2 Inspiron keyboard. Can anyone help? Do I have to do a fresh install? Actually, the first time I installed I used all the default kexts, and when OSX started it just said "insert keyboard." So I reinstalled again and this time selected the "PS2 kexts" during install, and it did boot into OSX but the keyboard has a 7 key stuck. And sometimes it's the left arrow key. Also, I don't know if this is the same thing...but when booting up the computer after being in OSX, the arrow keys don't work in Windows Boot Manager. As in, the default OS is all I can select because the arrow keys don't work at that point. Then Windows 7 boots, everything's fine, and if I restart and get back to the Windows Boot Manager, I can use the arrows to select OSX. So the arrows don't work then only after being booted in OSX... I actually got waaaay further in one day with OSX86 than I ever thought I would. I can't thank the people of this project enough for making something so complicated so easy, so people like myself can use it. Even with a few quirks, which are expected. This was a long, dumb rant no one will read. I hope I can get this fixed...if I figure it out, I'll post.

I figure it's the PS2 drivers, but since I can't boot osx and enter my password I can't remove the drivers. Now my OSx install wont boot - I keep getting panic errors! Arrgghh!
