frEEki Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have a problem with USB it seems. When i connect some USB it wont mounted (any more). It used to be though. Only thing i changed was adding two more sata devices. When i boot with my usb device connect everything works fine. but when i disconnect it and connect again it wont be recognized anymore. I am using a GA-P35-DS3 mainboard with EFI 5.2 and vanilla 9.1.0 kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Are you saying that you boot off this USB drive and then disconnect it while it is running the OS...and then it doesn't reconnect? (Don't do that ) Or are you saying that after you boot it once, shut down, disconnect the drive from its port, and then reconnect it to its port...then it won't reboot? Sorry, if I'm being dense, but I couldn't quite grasp what you are describing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frEEki Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 hehehe what i mean is: when i boot with a USB Stick or iPOD connected from the beginning i can use it. Disconnecting an reconnecting wont bring it back. Same for any USB device i plug in while Leo runs... doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disconnecting an reconnecting wont bring it back. Same for any USB device i plug in while Leo runs... doesn't work Almost the same problem here ... If I start with a usb device connected it's ok, but if I plug it in after the boot it won't mount. I installed the 10.5.1 update, replaced the patched kernel (BrazilMac) and some kexts ... before everything was working good. Does anybody knows what is involved in mounting USB devices? It's very strange ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donw35 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Just did the 10.5.1 update and now my USB memory stick wont mount either... Something changed.. happened on both my desktop and laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheG33k Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I have a similar problem with usb. when I bootup with a usb Storage plugged in all works fine ... is there no usb Storage at boot usb Storages will not work. I have solved this Problem by typing this into a Terminal: sudo kextload -b com.apple.iokit.IOUSBMassStorageClass maybe you can create a applescript to run this at boot ....

beeboo Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 be sure to use the right (patched) kernel: 9.1.0 ! (use uname -a) it was a my problem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have solved this Problem by typing this into a Terminal: sudo kextload -b com.apple.iokit.IOUSBMassStorageClass maybe you can create a applescript to run this at boot .... This is interesting. I was having a similar problem with not detecting a USB WiFi stick on one computer, and the same mounting issue on my tower. I "solved" this by adding the -f argument to the boot flags on the boot plist. Does this script just add a specific kext to the boot routine? The only reason I ask is I would like to keep booting as simple and as fast as possible and I am not sure -f is the best thing to have for every startup. I'd like to hear from anyone if they have an opinion about issues on booting with the -f argument. I guess alternately what I am asking is also "what do I add to the boot list just to force load specific kexts"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klutsh Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I had a similar problem to this, I solved it by disconnecting my in-built Card Reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donw35 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Mine says 9.0.0 Darwin Kernal but this is the machine at my office, the machine I did at home I will check, if updating to 10.5.1 changes it, how do I put it back ? be sure to use the right (patched) kernel: 9.1.0 ! (use uname -a)it was a my problem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomazzzi Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 i use 9.1.0 & have the same pb so i guess it s not 9.0 releated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aibarz Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 adding -f flag at com.apple.... not works... because that flag needs to load a file... (pls read macos developer manual online) (Solved at Spanish subforum http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=72112 ) the problem is 99% caused by a differnet kernel (9.0.0) with a kexts files from (9.1.0)... you need to download your patched mach_kernel propierly and do not replace it with old 1050 kernel... I just replaced 1051 patched kernel with old 1050 to avoid kernel panics on boot... doing this I lost access to my usb pendrives... after replace 1050 with correct 1051 kernel they began to work.

I don't think people using 10.5.0 will be able to do that... As I understand it, the -f flag force loads the kexts w/out reading the existing cache files, thus they load w/out the "last setting". It seems that once a drive is ejected, it actually ejects the entire port and the ports are then sometimes not read again on restarts because boots the kexts cache file which thinks the port no longer exists - unless its read again while booting as it is then already mounted. I'll be curious if the problem goes away when I finally jump to 10.5.1 or use EFI. Anyways, all you have to do to see if this works is just type "-f" after pressing f8 at boot up in the "advanced boot" settings to see if this will work for you. If it does, edit your boot file - if not, then don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronzo Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I had the same problem. Running 10.5.1 with Darwin 9.0.0 and no USB action. Updated to 9.1.0 from the irc and all is well. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronzo Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Since I upgraded to Darwin 9.1.0 from 9.0.0 it fixed my USB problem but now sleep is not working. Anyone running a P5W DH with sleep working, please let me know....I imagine it's just a BIOS setting. My sig is below. Cheers mates! [edit] Sleep is working now. I used the Vanilla 9.1.0 kernel from Kalyway's official 10.5.1. Prior to that I was using the 9.1.0 ToH kernel. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LioNEXT Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The kernel links has to match with kexts. So downgrading to old kernel gives USB problem. i posted a solution to this problem in my thread below based on the command in this thread. it automatically gets loaded on startup. see here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=95789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
