<br />I fixed it! I had to use my old Tiger install's ApplePS2Controller.kext (that kext was grabbed from this forum), and my PS/2 keyboard worked!<br /><br />For those still having problems, feel free to try my fix:<br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/91256196/ApplePS2Controller.kext.zip.html" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/91256196/Apple...r.kext.zip.html</a><br />

I am replace files from "PS2_Batt_Working" into my /System/Library/Extensions/, delete Extensions.mkext and repair permissions, reboot. I am right?

But after reboot internal keyboard and trackpad doesn't work :wacko:

May I do smth wrong?

This works for me, in that PS2 KB and mouse work. But reboot does not work. I have an AppleACPIPlatform.kext where reboot works with 10.5.2, but no PS2. Is there a solution for 10.5.2 that allows reboot to work and PS2?

connstance : you should use kext helper

for installing the kextspowermanagement.bundle should be put in /System/Library/SystemConfiguration

repair permisions

drag all kexts into kext helper window, put your pasword and install the kexts

rebootF8 during restart and type : -v -f for forcing all kext to be loaded and for verbose mode

 

 

i have the same reboot and shutdown problem

but i think the cause is nvinject and not ACPI kext (that's my case)

for the PS2 is enough to put NUB kext, i suppose.

if you try to put another ACPI, you should delete the nub kext included in it

but the battery meter will not work in that case

make a try and give us a feedback

if somebody just installed the update

pls make the following test:

 

keep the existing AppleACPIPlatform.kext (10.5.2 update not change that file, so is the old one that worked in 10.5.1)

but delete in it the ACPIPS2Nub.kext and use the one from my archive.

the PS2 should work

 

replace powermangement.bundle with one in my archive and check the battery meter

it should also work

 

the only problem should be the error in System Profiler

 

i'm not sure but you should try nd send us a feedback

 

if is not working, use all files in the archive.

so, let's summarize:

 

1. for keyboard you need 2 kexts: ACPIPS2Nub.kext si ApplePS2Controller.kext

2. for battery meter you need PowerManagement.bundle 1.37-1 and AppleACPIPowerSource.kext the last one can be put like plugin in AppleACPIPlatform.kext

i will try later to put it as standalone kext

 

that way you can use stock vanilla kernel, AppleACPIPlatform.kext and AppleSMBIOS.kext

 

i've noticed that if you use the ACPIPS2Nub.kext 40kb in size with vanilla SMBIOS the bluetooth will not work anymore, and also you will have problems with SystemProfiler

so, use the updated ACPIPS2Nub.kext which is 80kb in size, but be carefully to have the correct version of AppleACPIPlatform in info.plist, which is 1.2.1 in new vanilla kernel.

 

also check the AppleACPIPlatform version in AppleACPIPowerSource.kext !!!

 

the shutdown/reboot problem is from video drivers i suppose

 

connstance, how could you rezolve that problem ?!?

I did not solve a problem with reboot\shutdown. I had replaced my files on files from yours pack and I do not have any problems.

I have another problem:

...some problem: after wake up laptop doesn't reboot or shutdown normally.

But I had it before 10.5.2 update, and I have it now.
