clapbr Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well, I successfully installed 10.5.2. Dual-boot is working fine, but I just can´t pass the step where you have to type your name etc etc because my ps/2 keyboard doesn´t work at all. I tried to put many hacked kexts on my extensions folder using Windows+MacDrive but none of them made any difference. Even if I try to go to terminal using -s when the shell comes up I can´t type anything. My set-up: Abit KN9S (chipset Nv550 I guess) Athlon64x2 3800+ 2Gb RAM USB Microsoft Mouse (working fine) PS/2 Generic keyboard (NOT WORKING) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91964-ps2-keyboard-zephyroth-1052/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also can´t type commands because my keyboard DOESN´T work anywhere after the boot. Can you PM-me where you downloaded your 10.5.1 zeph DVD? Maybe it´s a 10.5.2 only bug.
