Tlime machine Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Should I delete the file appleHIDKeyboard.kext as I am using the aluminnium keyboard (wired) but it seems to be casuing the waiting root device error in the grey apple boot. In verbose mode it rarely happens but mosting during an succesful boot i get these lines: (Sometime waiting for root device error occour after this line) Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleHIDKeyboard" has no explicit kernel dependency: using version 6.0.

E-werd Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 If you have time and patience, I'd say go for it. Just make sure backup (move a copy to a reachable location) the kext, and when you restart after removing... well, see if there is an on-screen keyboard beforehand. Just in case the keyboard STOPS working--thought I doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlime machine Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Did anyone test this method before? Hopefully I don't lose any keyboard funtions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlime machine Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Sending it to trash dosn't work... still gives me the still waiting for root device except its an different line... plus I managed to get an successful boot one time but alumminuim keyboard's hotkeys won't work. Note-I managed to restore appleHIDKeyboard.kext... but i would get the root device errors sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
