NYC Coyote Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Here's a problem I haven't seen on here for a while. I just did a fresh install with Kalyway 10.5.1. None of my usb ports work?!?!? Now...they have worked before when i was using ToH 10.5. Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone got a fix? I have a Dell Inspriron 6400 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85241-no-usb-with-kalyway-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inventer Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 try to get usb driver from toh dvd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85241-no-usb-with-kalyway-install/#findComment-605114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYC Coyote Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 I tried that once and I got a kernel panic error, and had to reinstall the whole thing Even tried with -s and -v. Also looking at the files on the toh disc and on my mac partition, both IOUsb kexts have the same date on them, so I would believe they are the same one Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85241-no-usb-with-kalyway-install/#findComment-605614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

codegenic Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Found out it all depends on the hw. HP dv5000 series need new usb kexts in order to work. However I have not encountered any yet. If any knows of theese, then please reply. I am looking into it tonight, since I need the usb functionality in order to run dlink 122 wireless dongle.

applebot Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 If you plug in a USB thumb driver prior to boot up, does it show up on the desktop? A couple of things to try: 1) Try setting your Plug n Play OS option to 'Yes'. This worked for me in terms of the system recognizing PNP USB thumb drives, and USB-Ethernet adapters. 2) You can use Lingon (by Peter Borg) to ensure that the IOUSB kext are being loaded/ran. This also worked like a charm before i used the PNP OS option.

insomnimac Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Make sure legacy USB if OFF in BIOS. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85241-no-usb-with-kalyway-install/#findComment-735041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricki Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 it doesn't matter what everybody 've been saying, the problem is due to the fact that the iousbmassstorage.kext doesn;t load during startup , load the kext or for any other device that is not working manually, voila it is that simple then you can add it to startupitem so when you boot (with or without usb device) it will work everytime. cheers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85241-no-usb-with-kalyway-install/#findComment-735269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenMatrix Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Make sure that the version of your System.kext (inside the extensions folder) is equal to that of your current kernel. If you have 9.2.2, then your System.kext should be 9.2.2 and so on and so forth.

Mysticus C* Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 the problem you are having is mismatched system.kext and kernel versions.. what does it mean? it means that if you use 9.1.0 kernel, you have to use 9.1.0 version system.kext... same goes, for 9.2.0 kernel 9.2.0 system.kext, 9.2.2 kernel, 9.2.2 system.kext or 9.0.0 kernel 9.0.0 system.kext... just check the versions and replace the correct files...
