stmkjp Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I had random freezing symptom on my asus w3n laptop with osx, when boot with platform=X86PC. But today I found I can boot with platform=ACPI commands when I disabled USB feature in BIOS, no freezing any more! but... I bought USB wireless ethernet adapter for using OSX! ( woked in X86PC mode) damn it's rock stable in ACPI mode, but I need USB back! whenever I enable USB feature I got kdp_poll waiting for debugger thing displayed during boot and halts. Please anyone help me to get through this problem!

Please anyone help me to get through this problem! What source did you use to build this laptop? deadmoo? Release 1? It makes a big difference...

stmkjp Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 What source did you use to build this laptop? deadmoo? Release 1? It makes a big difference... I used DVD release 1 patched. I couldn't install native so I installed OSX via vmware. and then I applied Maxxuss patch 0.5c and copied AppleI386*.kext from darwin801 to OSX installed. (for I have to boot with X86PC, USB enabled) works perfect in vmware, but when i boot native, it freezes randomly. Now I don't have damn freezing thing any more, with USB disabled ( in BIOS ) Please Help me!

So, give me so more info on your box: CPU type: USB device Manufactuer: What is hooked up to the USB? Did you try booting with the -f or -F flag to rebuild the kext tree? Did you try deleting the files: /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache and /System/Library/Extensions.mkext If you try that, follw up with an immediate reboot and everything (driver-wise) gets rebuilt...

stmkjp Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 OK, relax... So, give me so more info on your box: CPU type: USB device Manufactuer: What is hooked up to the USB? Did you try booting with the -f or -F flag to rebuild the kext tree? Did you try deleting the files: /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache and /System/Library/Extensions.mkext If you try that, follw up with an immediate reboot and everything (driver-wise) gets rebuilt... OK...I'm relaxed now... Thanks, jbacko. I tried to rebuild everything as you said, but no difference. I got kdp_poll:waiting for debugger message and then hung. Shall I have to modify some kexts? CPU type : Intel® Pentium® M processor 1.70GHz ( with SSE2 enabled ) M/B : intel i855PM chipset Graphic : ATI Radeon9700 Mobility 128MB ( not recognized, u know ) USB Manufactuer : Intel ( Vendor ID:8086 ) FYI, when I boot ACPI -v with USB enabled, I got "invalid frame pointer 0xc7fc3fd4" and then "kdp_poll: no debugger device" message. above that I can see Frame addresses and "com.apple.driver.AppleAPIC +8271", "_ZN9IOService14startCandidateEPS_", "ZN9IOS15probeCandidatesEP120SOrederedSet", "ZN9IOService14doServiceMatchEm", "ZN15_IOConfigThred4mainEPS", "call_continuation" related messages. and another thing to mention, I used deadmoo image and darwin801 on vmware for the first time, but it can't even boot native, almost. I can boot once or twice but it freezed immediately after boot. I dunno why ACPI is much much more stable than X86PC for my NB (ASUS W3N), but I think I need ACPI mode. *EDIT* Oh, one more thing. I removed AppleFPMemDriver.kext and AppleTPMACPI.kext also.

39thRonin Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Glad to hear you are relaxed! OK, a couple more questions: Are you using a USB keyboard? What is hooked up to your USB? Can you use a regular pc kb and mouse? Observation: I had acouple of problems like this until I removed the kext cache files. The next time I rebooted, the machine worked fine and hasn'e stopped working. One thing I learned about the Generic release is that there were alot of kexts taken out to make it - well, Generic. The kexts that got taken out are supposed to be in /System/Library/Extensions.disabled or something like that. You might try copying all of those back into the Extensions directory (less ones you know won't work like TPM and ATI/NV). Did rebotting with the -f flag do anything? I read someplace on this board that either the ACPI or pcX86 flag didn't work with the generic DVD. You could try a quick search of the board to learn more about that... BTW, are you trying to install on a partition or a full disk install?

stmkjp Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi, I don't use USB device now, because I had disabled USB feature and I couldn't use them... but I have USB wireless mouse and wireless ethernet adapter also.( I want these devices enabled!) currently usb wireless lan card is the only way I can get connected to internet. besides them, no other usb devices. ps2 k/b and touchpad(mine is NB) work with no problem on ACPI mode. I tried -f but not work. For I could at least use usb devices when I boot X86PC ( radom panic happen though.), I suspect that some part of some kexts related to ACPI needs to be modified (such as adding my USB deviceid, vendor id,etc...). I think in X86PC mode, IOUSBFamily.kext and its plugin kexts have to do with loading usb. I saw message like "cannot take ownership of USBEHCI controller" when i boot X86PC but at least it work for certain period. in ACPI, same kexts loaded? then why USB related problem happen only when boot ACPI? hmm...powermanagement of USB device is making problem? is that possible? i don't know... I'll try to restore kexts on disabled folder to extensions folder and report the result on this thread. BTW, I now don't use DVD ( it's replaced by housing kit which have OSX installed hdd) and I installed OSX on a partition, not full hdd. it's secondary master hdd and I made the partition active. Glad to hear you are relaxed! OK, a couple more questions: Are you using a USB keyboard? What is hooked up to your USB? Can you use a regular pc kb and mouse?

39thRonin Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I think restoring the default kexts is your best move at this point. did you search the forum for info about the apci flag and x86pc flag use with the generic 1 dvd? My point is that I don't think that it works, as B&B took out a bunch of kexts. Putting them back in may get you what you need.

stmkjp Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 I looked in Extensions.disabled folder, but there is only AppleFPMemDriver.kext and AppleTPMACPI.kext beside ATI/NV/Ge. I tried AppleFPMemDriver.kext to Extensions folder, to boot failed. What I found: I boot with io=0xffffffff option, and I can see osx attach 8259-pic (maybe it's related with Apple8259PICController, but i have no idea what it means) and then bunch of addresses with kdp_poll : no debugger device message. But when I enable USB, there's message like ACPI: Early EC act detected' after attaching 8259-pic controller. i dunno this is useful information or not, but i guess early EC thing or 8259-pic thing is somwhat related to my problem. any ideas? I think restoring the default kexts is your best move at this point. did you search the forum for info about the apci flag and x86pc flag use with the generic 1 dvd? My point is that I don't think that it works, as B&B took out a bunch of kexts. Putting them back in may get you what you need.
