10.6.5 installed but no usb functionality...help please

[bennyyboi]

Hey guys,

 

I just successfully updated to 10.6.5 and everything works perfectly apart from USB functionality, I can boot up with no support disk via Chameleon 2.0 RC5 installed on the same partition as OS X is.

 

I've read around and found that [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] can be used a rescue disk to roll back USB functionality from 10.6.2 or something, yet I've burned the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] on a DVD and I can boot up OS X and I can use my keyboard at the Chameleon menu but as soon as OS X loads up and is at the login screen mouse/keyboard are not working?

 

Can someone please tell me what I need to do?

 

Thanks in advance!

Install legacy kernel 10.5 and your USB work like charm. Find it here or at nawcom's blog.

I'm currently using 'mach_kernel.test7' as OS X is installed on AMD setup...There's no way for me to even install the Legacy kernel even if I needed to cause I have no USB functionality to login and the same is for Safe Boot, does the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] dvd have it?

 

 

Thanks for the reply

Here, I've been using this all the time before the legacy kernel 10.5 came out. Thanks to nawcom.

 

When the OS completes booting, press ALT+Space Bar. Spotlight, in the upper-right hand corner lights up.

Type Terminal and I’m sure it will quickly find it. Select it, and press the Enter Key.

Enter the following code into the bash shell (note – that -O is an upper-case O):

curl -O http://nawcom.com/10.6.4_USB.tar.bz2

Now to unpack it to the root of the partition – I have the /Extra/Extensions parent directories created for you already in the archive, and don’t worry about it deleting anything you already have in /Extra/Extensions. If this is your first sudo command in a while, then expect to type in your admin password.

sudo tar xjvf 10.6.4_USB.tar.bz2 -C /

The next step is to rebuild the /Extra/Extensions.mkext. You can use fixkext if you have used my install media, or if you have used myHack, you can use pfix, or you can just manually run kextcache:

fixkext

or

pfix

or

sudo chown -R 0:0 /Extra/Extensions
sudo chmod -R 755 /Extra/Extensions
sudo kextcache -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /Extra/Extensions.mkext /Extra/Extensions

Now to reboot:

sudo reboot
