I had followed this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=227592

 

I use the USB method.

 

I dont know what the "hd(0,1)/mach_kernel" is for but it doesnt work for me so I use (0,3) instead as thats the partition I have snow installed on..

 

Anyway I got to boot successfully after installing but I cannot get the mouse nor keyboard to be recognized as it says please attach keyboard or mouse. I tried adding voodoops2controller.kext to my usb in /extra/extensions but when its installing, it gives an error saying failed to load voodoops2kext.. cannot resolve library dependencies...

I tried to install ps2fix to the usb and reinstall, when booting still no mouse or keyboard on the snow partition.

 

The biggest thing that is confusing me is that the ps2 fix allows the mouse and keyboard to work while im installing aka when I get to the installer... but when I try to boot to desktop, it never works! Voodoo wont load, gives a duplicate error of appleps2controller or some library dependency error. the keyboard sometimes works but the mouse trackpad mouse has never moved once!

 

Is there anyway to get to install the trackpad kext or voodoo kext so that it works during install and during setup so I wont get that keyboard not found thing?

Or at least is there a way to get the trackpad and keyboard working just for setup?

 

Also can anyone explain how distro's allow you to choose what to install? I would like to do that to my usb so I can choose to install ps2 fix from my retail usb install.

I'm not exactly sure anyone gets what I wrote or need... Example in ipc ppf5 final, there is a folder /system/installations/packages/OSx86Patches... With a bunch of packages in it.

When u boot that DVD, those packages are displayed in the menu allowing u to choose which ones to install.

How do I get my retail USB install to do this?? I have made the Osx86Patches folder but when I boot the USB, the packages do not show up on the menu.

Anyone know how to do this???
