.tekrox Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hey all, Since I've installed 10.5.2 (Kalyway 10.5.2 + Vanilla 9.2 Kernel ontop of Kalyway 10.5.1 - GUID/EFI with Vanilla Kernel) I've lost the ability to use USB Storage; devices still show up in System Profiler and in the Apple USB Prober app; but never show up in the finder (nor in /Volumes). I've tried running "diskutil list" in a terminal and this is not showing the devices either. Other USB Devices are working fine (I'm typing on a USB Keyboard and mousing with a USB Mouse right now..) (I've also tried different USB ports, etc - before you ask) Has anyone else had a problem like this in the past? System Specs Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4ghz DFI Infinity 975X/G (975X + ICH7R) 4GB DDR2-800 Radeon X1900GT (ATYInject) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89329-since-1052-usb-storage-has-gone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
.tekrox Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 I've tried rebooting several times with different devices plugged in (4GB/2GB/2x512mb Flash drives and iPod video 30GB HFS+)I'm going to try booting again with the 9.1 kernel and see if this makes a difference. Edit: Interesting - It seems my kernel has the wrong permissions and owner - I'm going to fix this first and try a reboot; if that fails I'll give 9.1 a go again. Edit 2: OK - Fixing the permissions on the 9.2 kernel had no success; Downgrading back to the 9.1 kernel though - this seems to have fixed the problem (well atleast its a bandaid fix) I never updated from 10.5 to 10.5.1 (Was happily running 10.4.11 until the Kalyway 10.5.1 disk appeared) - But if this issue is similar to issues had then - was there a 'proper' fix to the problem?

.tekrox Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 A Band Aid is a plastic strip which you place over a small cut to stop the bleeding. (A Band Aid fix in other areas refers to making something work again - without actually addressing the main issue) Anyhow - I'm currently running the 9.1 Vanilla kernel again; with no issues whatsoever. So I doubt its a hardware compatibility issue; but I'll work it out at a later date. Cheers for the help.

soave Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi there! for me it´s the same issue. I am new to the Kalyway stuff but I am really glad to get a "Mac" back. I year ago my beloved pismo died.I installed the Kalyway 10.5.2 Intel/AMD on my Lenovo T60 [ATI X1400]. I got the striped black screen issue as mentioned in other posts. The only way to get thing working was to delete the graphics kexts. But back to scope: For me its the same. I installed the IOUSBFamiliyFix.kext but no success.Is there any workaround to get usbstorage working? Perhaps an other kernel? I use the speedstep kernel.If another kernel would help, how do I install the kernel without freshen everything?
