Boot freezes on USB OHCI/EHCI

[dalziel_86]

I've installed from the JaS 10.4.6 DVD, using VMware to put OS X on a 14GB primary partition on my primary IDE drive. I used VMware and installed from a virtual DVD drive because my physical DVD drive is very dodgy (always has been). I can get it to boot and run fine (if slow, naturally) in VMware, but cannot boot natively. I've set Boot.plist to always use the platform=OSX86PC and -v switches.

 

When I try to boot natively, I get the following:

This seems to be the same error that this guy got. I have the same USB controller (SiS 7001), so presumably the same problem. He fixed his problem by buying a powered USB hub, but I'd rather not do that unless absolutely necessary. Especially since I'm not 100% it's the same problem, and not 100% sure it'd work. Is there any way I can fix this without buying new hardware?

// Now, look at PCI cards. Note that the onboard controller's provider is an IOPCIDevice so we cannot use that

// to distinguish between USB PCI cards and the on board controller. Instead, we use the existence of the

// "AAPL,clock-id" property in the provider. If it does not exist, then we are a OHCI controller on a USB PCI card.

//

if ( !provider->getProperty("AAPL,clock-id") && !_onCardBus && !((getPlatform()->getChipSetType() == kChipSetTypeGossamer) && getPlatform()->getMachineType() == kGossamerTypeYosemite) )

{

if (provider->hasPCIPowerManagement() && (provider->enablePCIPowerManagement() == kIOReturnSuccess))

{

_hasPCIPwrMgmt = true;

setProperty("Card Type","Built-in");

}

else

{

USBError(1, "AppleUSBOHCI[%p]::start OHCI controller will be unloaded across sleep",this);

_unloadUIMAcrossSleep = true;

setProperty("Card Type","PCI");

}

}

else

{

setProperty("Card Type","Built-in");

}

The debug message is printed from here. For some reason, the system believes you have a PCI card, and doesn't see it as built-in.

 

did you try the last version of USB driver downloadable from apple ?

 

if it still crashes, try a quick and dirty solution: force it as built-in and see what happens.

Where is that debug message from? It looks like you intended to put a link in, but forgot.

Where can I get the latest version, and how can I get my install to use it? How could I force it as built-in?

 

Sorry, I'm still a bit of a newbie at this business.

Go there:

http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers...d/usbdebug.html

and download intel version of usb drivers.

For each driver you can have debug and non-debug version. I reckon you can use the non debug one.

Try 10.4.8 and 10.4.7 and see what happens.
