Losing USBs After Successful Snow Leopard Install

[nyislander]

 

I’m trying to install Snow Leopard on a HP T5740 Thin Client:

 

Intel Atom Processor N280 1.66 GHz

Intel GL40 graphics (64 MB)

32Gb IDE DOM

4Gb RAM

I used Nawcom’s OSX86_ModCD-032311-151021 with an official 10.6.3 Snow Leopard disc. Installation was successful and I updated to 10.6.7 with MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.7. The network card works after installing BCM5722D_v2.3.5_SL_UB. I did a usb roll back using M-B.

 

 

My main problem is I lose mouse & keyboard (all usb) control after ~10mins of inactivity. I need to reboot to reactive the ports. Whatever boot options I use: -x; cpus=1 yields the same result.

 

Not essential but nice to have would be:

- a screen resolution of 1920x1080

- working sound card

- working sata ports

 

Please advise?

hello

 

use the usb kext from 10.6.3 is a know issue

 

iosubfammily and usbmassstorage from 10.6.3

 

good hack

[nyislander]

Thanks for your suggestion artur_pt.

 

I extracted IOUSBFamily.kext & IOUSBMassStorage.kext from the Snow Leopard disc using Pacifist and installed with Kext Wizard to  /S/L/E but it did not work.  USB connectivity lost after ~10mins of inactivity.

ICH9 need a dsdt patch, need inject ids from ICH10

[nyislander]

Thanks for your advice MaLdOn.

 

This is a headless thin client that I'm connecting to via Remmina, so my temporary solution is to turn off computer & display sleep in Energy Saver.  Eventually I plan to edit my DSDT to get everything to work properly.

lets try

run it and send me files

RunMe.app.zip

[nyislander]

I tried to run your app and received the following error:

 

[MaLd0n]

o yes xD

 

extract DSDT and ioreg

DSDT , run it in terminal

perl -e 'open(CMD, "ioreg -lw0 \| grep DSDT|") or die; while(<CMD>) { chomp; if($_ =~ /\"DSDT\.?\d?\"=<([^>]*)>/) { $buff = $1; open(PIP, "|xxd -r -p > ~/Desktop/dsdt.aml") or die; print PIP "$1"; } }'

ioreg

IORegistryExplorer.app.zip

[nyislander]

I used the Developer/Utilities/IORegistryExplorer to obtain the ioreg and your perl script for the DSDT.  Let me know if this is what you wanted.

MyDSDT_files.zip

[MaLd0n]

check

DSDT.aml.zip

[nyislander]

I put the DSDT.aml in the /Extra folder and rebooted.  This is what happened.  What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?

 

[MaLd0n]

just drop DSDT, u can try a clover DSDT patches USB

[nyislander]

I used Nawcom’s cd to boot up and removed the DSDT from the /Extra folder.  I need more time to learn how to edit the DSDT myself.  I'll keep reading & tinkering and report back if/when I'm successful.

 

Thanks again.

Use Clover and it to avoid KP

Clover have a KernelCPU if u processor loose support 10.6.3+
