USB Mouse + PS/2 Keyboard on Lawless PPC

[muddi]

Update: read my post below, got past this problem, now having a keyboard problem.

 

Hello, this is my first attempt at hackintosh. After searching a lot and trying a few distros I figured Lawless would be good for me, since I own an AMD Phenom, so I got it and went on to install it.

 

So I boot the DVD and surprised enough it installed with no problems at all, I created my partition and kept all settings as default, except for choosing a driver for my video card.

Now, since I had Win7 before this, it screwed my MBR, which I fixed later and used EasyBCD to add an option for Mac on boot screen.

 

With that done, I went on to start the Mac OS for the first time. And that's where I got stuck at: after loading chameleon boot screen, I choose my Mac installation but then nothing happens, it just freezes.

 

All it says on screen is:

 

Loading Darwin/x86

Loading kernel mach_kernel

 

I tried loading with -v -f, as I saw on the tutorial for Lawless, and all it did was print:

 

Loading Darwin/x86

Loading kernel mach_kernel

Loaded HFS+ File:[mach_kernel] 4096 bytes from 435bdb0

Loaded HFS+ File:[mach_kernel] 5025944 bytes from 435bdb0

 

And there it freezes again. So I am wondering, did I do anything wrong or should I boot with some special option?

 

OSx86 used: LawlessPPC-Leo-10.5.4-Phenom&AMD

My hardware:

Hard-drive: SATA Samsung 250GB

Processor: AMD Phenom X4 9550 (SS1, 2, 3, 4A)

MB: Asus M3A78 Chipset ATI 770

Memory: 2x DDR2 4GB

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS

PS/2 Keyboard

USB Mouse

 

Would really appreciate the help. If any more information is needed I'll post back.

 

Sorry for any spelling mistakes, I'm not american.

Ok, so I got it working after realizing that it had something to do with my hard drives boot order. I changed the order on my BIOS setup and I was able to boot.

 

Now, the problem is, my keyboard doesn't work. After a lot of searching I found out that an USB Mouse + a PS/2 Keyboard causes a problem. Since my motherboard doesn't have a ps/2 mouse input, getting a ps/2 mouse is not an option.

 

So again I went on searching for another solution, found a few websites (including here) saying that I needed to remove ApplePS2Mouse.kext and ApplePS2Trackpad.kext. So I did this (after a lot of workarounds, since my keyboard doesn't work and I couldn't type anything) but this didn't work for me! My keyboard still doesn't work and I can't log in because I can't type my Apple ID with no keyboard.

 

I used a ubuntu live CD to check if the operation of renaming the files from *.kext to *.bak for them to not load was successful, and they are renamed properly, only ApplePS2Keyboard.kext remains.

 

So, anybody got a sollution for USB Mouse + PS/2 Keyboard? I already tried the ones I found with no luck.

the only option is to get a usb keyboard which is the best option in my opinion and is also future proof cos apple will never use ps/2 devices in future :-)
