USB Problem while installing on Gigabyte H55N-USB3

[ijwcomp]

Hi,

 

I'm having problems getting my USB keyboard and mouse to work in setup.

Keyboard and mouse work until it goes into Darwin

I have tried using legacy and non-legacy USB in the BIOS. Both USB2 and USB3 ports don't work. Also used USBBusFix=Yes and No.

 

Specs:

• Gigabyte H55N-USB3
• Intel Core i3 540 (with Integrated Graphics)
• 8GB RAM

 

I used myHack to create the installer, and used the guide below for the integrated graphics.

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286092-guide-1st-generation-intel-hd-graphics-qeci/

 

Integrated graphics:

• sudo intel_reg_dumper shows that PCH_LVDS is disabled, hence I went for only Core Image.
• Deleted everything with AppleIntelHDGraphics from System/Library/Extensions
• Added AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext, AppleIntelHDGraphicsGLDriver.bundle, AppleIntelHDGraphicsVADriver.bundle to the Extra/Extensions folder

BIOS Settings:

• AHCI on
• Legacy USB on (tried it off as well)
• HPET 64bit

 

Chameleon Settings:

• Used the -v -f bootflags
• Kernel: mach_kernel
• Ethernet Built In (both on/off)
• Restart Fix
• USB Bus Fix (both on/off)
• Graphics Enabler (both on/off)
• Graphics Mode (1024x768x32)
• PCIRoot=1 (0 works, 1 does not)

Extra/Extensions folder:

• AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext, AppleIntelHDGraphicsGLDriver.bundle, AppleIntelHDGraphicsVADriver.bundle
• FakeSMC.kext
• lspcidrv.kext
• NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
• Patched_10.7_AppleRTC.kext

I've tried only having FakeSMC and NullCPUPowerManagement and it makes no difference.

delete all graphics kexts from your USBInstaller, ATI* AMD* NVDA* GeForce* IntelHD* and the kexts graphics from Extra, only FakeSMC.kext and NullCPUP ,

 

then boot with -f -v -x npci=0x2000

[ijwcomp]

I've deleted the kexts that have AMD*, NVDA*

The rest don't exist.

IntelHD* has been deleted before.

 

And also removed all the kexts in the Extra/Extensions folder except for FakeSMC, NullCPUPowerManagement

 

Both -v -f -x and -f -v -x npci=0x2000 boots up into the installer, but keyboard and mouse still don't work.

I would say to test a really fast thing before deleting some kexts or so, just try to disable HPET in bios. Set it to Disabled. Maybe it works maybe it don't but to test it is like 5 minutes. Good luck.

[ijwcomp]

Nope, made no difference.

[iFIRE]

try this kext, is to USB 3.0, put in Extra/Extensions   and try again,  http://cl.ly/SPiT

 

but now not use -x

[ijwcomp]

Just tried it, with -v -f and -v -f npci=0x2000

Made no difference.

what version of OS X you Install, 10.8,10.9,

 

EDIT; is USB your keyboard or PS2 ?

[ijwcomp]

OSX Mavericks

I tried using both a PS/2 keyboard and USB.

[iFIRE]

note, for me don´t work my keyboard too, I have one keyboard bluetooth and these work, mouse work, try IOUSBFamily.kext from 10.8

[ameris_cyning]

If its on USB3, have you tried USB2?

 

It could be that you have it plugged into a USB3 port and OS X doesn't have the required kext to handle the device.

[ijwcomp]

Yea, tried both USB3 and USB2 ports.

 

I tried about like 20-30 different copies of IOUSBFamily.kext and IOUSBMassStorage kexts and one finally worked!

[calimansi]

Any clue as to which kext you used?  I just don't want to recreate the wheel.

 

Thanks.
