Hi there,

 

I've installed Kalyway 10.5.1 and everything is working great except that my USB is not showing up as 2.0. Everything is working fine on usb (iPod, mouse, keyboard etc) but is very slow (1.0 speeds).

 

I've booted with -v and noticed the EHCI cannot take control of BIOS error. I believe this fix may be a solution.

 

Here is what the system profiler says about my USB:

 

USB Bus:

 

Host Controller Location: Built In USB

Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBUHCI

PCI Device ID: 0x27ca

PCI Revision ID: 0x0001

PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086

Bus Number: 0x5d

 

Hub:

 

Version: 0.0b

Bus Power (mA): 500

Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec

Product ID: 0x6560

Vendor ID: 0x04b4

 

 

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to terminal commands, will the instructions on the first page work with the latest Leopard test kext (PCGenUSBEHCI_303.4.5)? Should I still be downloading the IOUSBFamily.kext version 256.4.2 to install on Leopard or get the latest one from the Apple Dev site?

 

If not can someone help me by posting the correct instructions? Thank you.

Instructions will work. You will need the latest IOUSBFamily.

What's up. I have a HP dv8000, and I saw that it fixed the USB problem. I'm just having trouble installing the IOUSB thing from the developer's site. Everytime i restart I can't find it in my system. Before it restarts it says something about updating cache for boot. Can you help me please?

dv5000t w/ Kalyway's LEO 10.5.1 is working fine. Nothing had to be modified once I removed Apple's and installed your driver. It's loading and unloading devices no problem. It's full speed USB 2.0. Best of all, now I can use my USB wireless card with OSX :(

 

Oh, and btw - Thank you very much for this!

Hi,

 

Having some choppy problems with the newest pcgenusb.

Installed Kalyway 10.5.1 with the newest pcgenusb (PCGenUSBEHCI_303.4.5.kext.zip)

to an external usb disk.

 

I can boot, but as soon as the disk activity stops the whole system

gets choppy, any hints or ideas are appreciated.

 

I am running on a Toshiba Satellite P100 Dual Core system.

 

Regards,

 

I.

 

 

Below output from booting:

Jan 5 09:25:15 localhost kernel[0]: USBF: 0.572 Attempting to get EHCI Controller from BIOS

Hi! I just recently got OSX ToHRC2 running on my asusP5N32 SLI board (680i chipset). When I did the install it all went fine following .netrollers guide... My install is using kernel 9.0, but it has the 10.5.1 update.

 

I was not getting the BIOS release error you mention, but someone else pointed me to this thread, So I tried your patched kext. pcgen worked just as the AppleUSB kext did, meaning I can see it in system profiler but my system is not automounting drives I plug in...

 

SO I looked around and found IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext and decided to plug in my USB stick and do a "sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext" from the CLI. Bam! my drive mounted and was shown on the desktop!!! And I could use it :(

 

So for those that are seeing it in system profiler, but not in the desktop I would say for some reason that IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext is not being called when you insert a USB device. Unless there is another fix someone knows of, you can try the manual kextload.

 

Now off to find an answer to this unless someone knows and can PM me :(

Hi all,

 

I've just tried PCGenUSBEHCI_303.4.5.kext.zip and seems like there is some problem with AppleUHCI when inserting PCMCIA USB adapter.

 

In my case AppleUSBUHCI is used by my internal Bluetooth device and PCGenUSBEHCI/AppleUSBEHCI is used by PCMCIA adapter.

 

Here is dmesg after inserting USB adapter:

IOPCCard info:   cs: cb_alloc(bus 8): vendor 0x1106, device 0x3038
IOPCCard info:   cs: cb_alloc(bus 8): found 3 functions

USBF:	172. 92	AppleUSBUHCI: controller reset failed

 

Any ideas how to fix it?

 

 

----------- EDIT-----------

Looks like both devices works together and 'USBF: 170.869 AppleUSBUHCI: controller reset failed' messages are only info/warning messages.

 

 

Thanks and best regards,

Mariusz.

I've tried IOUSBFamily.kext.zip and the PCGenUSBEHCI_303.4.5.kext too.

No way.

Without these kexts i can't boot when i have "usb 2.0 support: enabled" in bios; i have to turn it off so the OS can boot.

When i install IOUSBFamily.kext i can boot with usb 2.0 support enabled in bios but usb devices won't work

I can't understand what's PCGenUSBEHCI_303.4.5.kext doing, but it doesn't seem to change results :rolleyes:

 

 

This is my kextstat and dmesg | grep -i USB

 

P.S.: Hey 939NF6G-VSTA users, if any ;) , have you got usb 2.0 working?!

I got this problem when booting; I couldn't (can't!) boot from cd/dvd for some reason, so I used an external dvd drive. THEN i got this problem, and I couldn't (cant) get around it ... unless I put a second identical disk in my laptop's dvd drive. Then it seems to start loading from there. Go figure. *shrugs*

Hy everybody,

 

I've installed this Kext on an Asus P5B with Kalyway 10.5 updated to 1.5.2.

And that's worked great, no more error messages while booting the os.

My USB card reader know wors at every boot and my external USB 2 Hard drive

runs 2x faster than before !!!!!

 

Great Job Mr orByte !!!

 

I'did remove the AppleUSBEHCI.kext from the plugins folder of IOUSBFamily.kext.

And installed the PCGenUSBEHCI.kext with KextHelper b7, rebooted and that's working fine. :blink:

Excellent, good work orByte works well so far, Thank u

 

although my usb 2.0 devices did already show "Up to 480 Mb/sec" under sysprofiler

after your fix my 2.0 devices transfer much faster, the way they should.

cheers!

 

the screenshot below is the error message i was previously getting under -v

 

hope this will somehow solve my random usb drops too. we'll see....

Just wanted to report that this works on my custom install of 10.5.2. I included it in my new iso. The only issue is that when it is loaded I need to replug in my network cable to get it to show the cable plugged in. When I use the default usb kext I get two port working and have networking np. I need the four ports so I will replug for now.

 

Do you have any idea why this would mess with networking.

Also great wrk on this kext, keep it up bro.
