Guanavia Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 After I reset CMOS, before I booted up I went through and set all of the bios settings to where they were prior to the reset, including USB settings Legacy is disabled, USB is set to Hi-Speed and all of the ports are enabled.

Rockystar Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 ok i really need some help with my usb. I have 10.4.8 with kernel: 8.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Sat Dec 9 22:18:27 AZOT 2006; semthex:/nebukadnezar/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386 The problem im having is that my system wont boot up or boots so slowly that i would take all day when i have IOUSBFamily.kext 2.6.1 loaded and apperantly my keyboard and trackpad would not work either (Havent gotten far enough to find out others that have this setup say that it happens. So i loaded IOUSBFamily.kext 2.4.6 cause it was a fix for the keyboard issue and my system boot time returns to normal but i only have USB 1.1 support. When the 2.6.1 or the one that goes with 10.4.8 is loaded my boot slows at: checking disk Mounting file system kextd parent task timed out waiting for signal from child If i have 2.4.6 loaded it boots fine but has a yellow error in verbose mode saying: Failed to load extension com.apple.usb.ehci So i have tried the fix pcgenusbehci from above for 2.4.6 and 2.6.1 with the following errors durring boot: 2.4.6: PCGenUSBEHCI-256.4.2a : Failed to load extension ..... 2.6.1: PCGenUSBEHCI-261.4.2a.zip: cant determine immediate dependencies for extension com.OrByte.drive.PcGenUSBEHCI Can't Alloc AppleUSBEHCI any help or instites would be great my system configuration is in sig and my bios is so limited i cant turn off legacy support Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28559-generic-usb20-ehci-driver/page/12/#findComment-480144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, IOUSBFamily includes an AppleUSBEHCI plugin which will conflict with PCGen. I m not sure whether any of this will help you, but it is what comes to mind. Best.

Rockystar Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 thanks for the reply but i have to use 2.4.6 its the only version that allows my keyboard to work. and when i tried pcgen i removed appleehci thanks again though PCGen-256.4.2a is for Kernel 8.4.1 (10.4.7), USBFamily 2.4.6 is for 10.4.6.

BuXb Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 hey old man, don't step on that beard, it's grey .. @ all: I reupped the 'USB with 10.4.10' kexts here in my old posting, this time as even smaller .rar because I am on a slooooowwww modem connex right now. so orByte, I guess you won't even bother getting into compiling EHCI for Leo for yourself because you are satisfied with 10.4.x and don't even have da.big.cat installed ?

RyanThaDude29 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I tried building it myself with the changes but build failed for some reason. Couldn't even build the unmodified IOUSBFamily-276.

BuXb Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 .. but big daddy, kiddies wanna do it for themselves .. no just kidding - coding & compiling is more than just installing XCode and pressing a button, it's an art; my compilation efforts also never produced the desired results .. Do you have Leo running on your iHack? I have not had a chance yet to download any of the releases because temorarily I am in the 56k wormhole-switch between 6 and 16 MBit right now ..

tprins228 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 orByte, so hows the leopard version coming. im interested to see what you do with this one. I tried your old one with leopard, obviously it didnt work as planned. anywho thanks for all your hard work. keep it up ps. let me know if u need anything for the leopard install.

witchrobin Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I installed the generic driver into my Leopard install. Seems like USB2.0 is working fine (USB drives, apple alum keyboard), but my Logitech MX1000 and Bluetooth dongle don't work. I have to go back to an old PS2 mouse for now. So, looks like USB 1.2 doesn't work for me with the generic driver. BTW...I am running on Asus A8R32-MVP.

orByte Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 OK, Leopard is now up and running on my main unit... But I am slightly distracted... I have also been setting up Leopard on a Gateway ML6227b laptop (Celeron 520) and this is cool so far: graphics (Intel GMA 950) fully supported, Marvel 88E8038 supported by 88E8053 after adding the device id and as the x053 is Gigabyte setting in the Network the speed manually to 100. RTL 8187L Wireless OK after using realtek's supplied driver (website). Have not looked at Audio yet... And so on. On the USB front neither unit suffers from the EHCI restart problem so after the coding I ll definitely need some testers. Best Only problem: The laptop unit does not fare well for USB booting - both GRUB and the Darwin loader will not boot through USB - probably getting confused by drive geometry or something... Have not tested under windows though (And probably never will :-) ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28559-generic-usb20-ehci-driver/page/12/#findComment-500087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
geiman Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hey all, I have leopard installed, and USB worked perfect for me, never had a problem. But I updated my BIOS yesterday and now all of a sudden, USB does not work in Leopard anymore. I can see my USB connections in the info manager, but nothing I plug in works. Also, if I dont have the USB Legacy emulation, or whatever you would call that, enabled, I get a KP unless I boot with -legacy boot flag. By the way, I'm on a Toshiba satellite p105-s6064 laptop if that helps. I saw this thread and was just curious if my problem could be cured with the Leopard drivers when they come out or if I may need to go another direction. I am also willing to test drivers, so just say the word and I'll test for you.

geiman Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 just a quick update, the error I get at boot up is EHCI controller unable to take control from BIOS. dont know if that helps, just throwing it out there~ Geiman Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28559-generic-usb20-ehci-driver/page/12/#findComment-500990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
