No USB/ no DMG Mount

[GamingFusion]

After upgrading my OSX86 Install from 10.5.6 - 10.5.8, i was not able to repair permissions and such.

 

But i go it working again.

 

But now i cant mount DMG's and it doesnt recognize i have plugged in a USB flash drive or Mass Storage Device.

 

 

Whats wrong? what kext file do i need i have tried the 10.5.5 seatbelt.kext didnt work

The most common cause of USB devices not mounting is that the kernel version and System.kext version do not match. To see the former, open the Terminal and type "uname -a" and look at the kernel version reported. To see the System.kext, open from the drive root System/Library/Extensions and then open up "System.kext" and inside it open info.plist to see its version number. I am not sure what you mean by not mounting DMGs- if it causes a KP then you should check that you have the correct seatbelt.kext that matches the other versions above. There are many threads here that discuss these in detail- Google is your friend.

 

To fix these, you will need to find matching versions. You can extract these from the system updater files using Pacifist and install a set of matching version numbers for all of these.

heres my code for the info.plist

is the kernal version is says 9.5.0?

 

"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
<string>English</string>
<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
<string>System Resource Pseudoextension, Apple Computer Inc, 9.5.0</string>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.kernel</string>
<key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
<string>6.0</string>
<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>System Resource Pseudoextension</string>
<key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
<string>KEXT</string>
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>9.5.0</string>
<key>CFBundleSignature</key>
<string>????</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>9.5.0</string>

<string>9.5.0</string>
<key>OSBundleRequired</key>
<string>Root</string>
<key>OSKernelResource</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

 

if so is this right way to change it if i have the 9.8.0 kernal?

Yikes- I would not try just modifying the info.plist strings directly. The fix for not having usb devices mount is to have the System.kext file version match the mach kernel version. What you should be checking is if these do or do not match, and if they don't, then install matching versions of the files. Usually it is simpler to find and install a System.kext that is extracted from a system update file (but you could do either). I don't think it is as simple as modifying the strings in the info.plist. Once again, you should search for "usb devices not mounting" on these pages for full problem description and solution instructions.

could i just re install the kernal?
