danageis Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I am having a rather unusual USB problem on my 10.6.8 AMD hackintosh. After a while (sometimes after waking, sometimes right after I boot) SOME of my USB functionality stops working. I say some because I use a USB mouse and keyboard, and they work, but any storage devices connected through USB just don't show up on the Desktop, Disk Utility or Finder. The only way I have found to fix it is to reboot and needless to say it is getting pretty annoying to do this every time I need to update my music or put something on a flash drive :/ I know it is not a hardware problem because when I put my iPod in the creen turns on and it says 'Connected' although OS X doesn't seem to think so. Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxic Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Boot with usbbusfix=yes If this resolves your problems add an entry to your org.chameleon.boot.plist. <key>USBBusFix</key> <string>Yes</string> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danageis Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Installed the rollback kext through ###### SL edition, and the 10.6.2 kext disables all USB drive function on my machine lol. However, I am now thinking my problem is way different than I had thought and has something to do with the iPod kexts: I tested with a flashdrive, and with the flash drive the only problem I was getting was the 'device ejected improperly' message after wake. With the iPod though, it is fully functional after boot, but after sleep/wake it stops working. iTunes says it has to be restored if it is plugged into after wake and {censored} utility says it cannot mount. Also, while trying to do use the device after wake the console kernel.log shows this: http://imageshack.us/f/41/screenshot20120424at149.png/ And the iPod will not be recognized by the machine until reboot. Since it says something about not being able to read mKext (and I have tried repairing permissions/rebuilt kextcache) I assumed it must have something to do with iPod kexts in S/L/E? If anybody can shed some light on this that would be great sorry that I had posted about the wrong problem before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
