giutor Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hi guys, this my very first post and my first time with Mac OSX. I successfully installed it on a Acer E1-570. All is working apart sound and wireless. The USB pendrive was detected too. But, in a desperate attempt to have wireless working I messed up with the kexts and now sadly, the pendrive is not detected anymore. I wouldn't want to install everything for the third time. Wih kextstat I can see USB kexts are loaded, so would you please tell me which file shall I edit to have USB pendrive detected again? Thanks for the help, GiuTor Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293883-usb-pendrive-not-detected/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
poispois Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Do you know which kexts have you messed? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293883-usb-pendrive-not-detected/#findComment-1967740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
giutor Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Do you know which kexts have you messed? Unfortunately not. It was a collection of zipped kexts.I tried to remove them manually from S/L/E with rm -rf but at the reboot still the PENDRIVE is not detected. Is there any other thing I can do? I have pratice with the command-line and Linux.

poispois Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Since this is a new installation and you risk loosing practically nothing, I would find a way to copy the original kexts from the installation image to your drive, and the replacing them in S/L/E.

Sounds nice, thank you. I will try to copy the kexts one by one from the DVD into the S/L/E folder with sudo cp. I will let u know. In the mean time I tried to repair permission and rebuild cache but with no luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293883-usb-pendrive-not-detected/#findComment-1967865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
poispois Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I do not have ML installed right now so I can't help you on that. Good luck. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293883-usb-pendrive-not-detected/#findComment-1967901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played with that tool and now the pendrive is detected but it messed up keyboard and mouse. From Linux I partially fixed the USB mouse but the keyboard doesn't work. I think I will solve by copying ApplePS2Controller.kext directly into the HSF+ partition as I did with the mouse.
