ApplePS2Controller.kext only works when loaded from flash drive

AeroShark · January 4, 2012

Hi,

So I've installed lion on my laptop using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. However after running [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] my system would hang. I eventually figured out the problem was the patched appleRTC. So I just ran [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] installing everything that [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] does except the appleRTC patch. I could only boot my install using my [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] flash drive tho. After copying over smbios.plist and org.chameleon.Boot.plist from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to my extra folder on my install I could finally boot without [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] flash drive but my laptop mouse and keyboard would no longer work. After a lot of debugging I found that removing ApplePS2Controller.kext from my HD install and booting from my [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] flash drive makes my mouse and keyboard work. I then removed all the other kexts from my [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] extra/extensions folder to make sure it was just ApplePS2Controller.kext

So basically: mouse and keyboard only work when using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url](even with just ApplePS2Controller.kext in the extra/extensions folder of the flash drive) to boot my HD install. If I boot directly from the HD or boot from my flash drive with ApplePS2Controller.kext still installed on my HD (either in extra/e or s/l/e) keyboard and mouse will not work. My boot flags are -v cpus=1 busratio=20 and i have also tried with -f and arch=i386. what might be causing this? im just at a loss now for how to debug further. thanks in advanc!

I had a similar issue, it got too confusing so I just installed the latest VoodooPS2 drivers.

Hey thanks. I just tried the latest VoodooPS2 and it doesn't seems to work either... I've pasted my kernel.log below from a boot using these flags:

-v cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=i386
