bmwboy Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm trying to install OSX86 10.4.6 on an AMD ATHLON X2 (dual-core). I'm using a PS/2 keyboard and mouse (both ps/2). It boots to the language selection screen, and I have no way to move the pointer, the mouse won't work..... Thanks, Bmwboy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35644-no-mousekeyboard-on-install-ps2/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannerfm77 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) My PS/2 keyboard was not detected also when I'm install using JAS 10.4.7. But solved after I change my keyboard. May be you should change your installer.

Rammjet Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Try repairing permissions. Boot from install DVD and enter the installer ("press any key" when asked). Select Terminal in the Utilities menu and type: cd "/Volumes/(name-of-OSX-partition)" <--- use quotes if name has spaces - but don't use parentheses ( -- give password -- ) diskutil repairPermissions ./ cd System/Library rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache cd Extensions find ApplePS2Controller.kext -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; find ApplePS2Controller.kext -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; chown -R root:wheel ApplePS2Controller.kext Quit Terminal and the Installer and Reboot without the DVD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35644-no-mousekeyboard-on-install-ps2/#findComment-253587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Obviously, try messing around in BIOS to see if there are any settings for PS/2. My BIOS has a PS/2 enable setting but others might not. Otherwise, might have to go the VMWare route where you use VMWare to install to the hard drive but don't need to use VMWare to run the native installation. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11314 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35644-no-mousekeyboard-on-install-ps2/#findComment-254263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwboy Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Bingo. Forgot to disable Legacy USB....but, I have an ATi SATA chipset, so I guess i'll be doing VMware native install anyway Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35644-no-mousekeyboard-on-install-ps2/#findComment-254899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
