MacPhisto Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 hi all in my previous posts i've tryed to fix a boot problem: sometimes my iAtkos hangs on boot now i'm going some steps further ... after many tries disabling kexts i've found the problem reason: USB. In fact removing IOUSBFamily it doesn't hangs on boot anymore this is very strange so i'm pretty sure that the problem is an integrated peripherial physically attached to an USB Bus (internal one) it can be TV Tuner or Webcam (i think TV Tuner 'cause on other revision of my laptop -with only webcam- there aren't problem) so ... my question is there's a way to disable an integreted usb component (BIOS hasn't any option) passing some parameters to darwin or modifing the USB related KEXT? i've both ID for all the bus and for incriminated peripherial someone can help me? Thanks And again ... sorry for my poor english Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79540-disable-usb-device/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
