Nick4753 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have a nForce 3 based board and I got the Leo4All v3 release to install correctly... Only when I go to load it, it stops after a string of errors that starts with: "ehci controller unable to take control from bios" I have been searching and searching and found this PCGenUSBECHI.ktext from this thread http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=28559&st=0 But I have no idea how to insert that ktext (since I can not boot into OS X) And since this is a brand new ISO (v3) would it not already have this ktext in it? I have tried safe mode, I have disabled the USB keyboard option, and none of these things have changed anything And what is this Leo4Allv3-OldNforce-PPF.ppf.zip that comes with the release (I didn't download it, but I have access to it) Would that help? How do I use that? thanks Here are the specs of my machine: AMD Socket 939 X2 3800+ Gigabyte GA-K8NSC939 Onboard Video Disabled Radeon X1550 Series PCIE Card Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102322-leo4all-v3-ehci-controller-unable-to-take-control-from-bios/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick4753 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 That 'KTEXT HELPER' is useless to me, I cannot boot into OS X to run it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102322-leo4all-v3-ehci-controller-unable-to-take-control-from-bios/#findComment-729523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick4753 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 The thing is, this issue has been brought up before and ignored (at least in my searches) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...aded&start= http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=93927 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=62519 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102322-leo4all-v3-ehci-controller-unable-to-take-control-from-bios/#findComment-729726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick4753 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 I used macdrive to add that file linked above to the system folder... replaced all now I get yellow text saying that it failed to load that extension Tried setting the motherboard into USB 1.1 mode, getting a hang at Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProvidierClass</key><string ID="1">IOResource</string><key>IOResourceMach</key><string ID=2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict> Still waiting for root device Setting it into safe mode I get: USBF: 50.791 AppleUSBOHI[0x3387800]::CheckSleepCompatabillity - OHCI controller will be unloaded across sleep Still waiting for root device Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102322-leo4all-v3-ehci-controller-unable-to-take-control-from-bios/#findComment-729754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 In case you ever make it back into OS X again, open Disk Utility and run "Repair Permissions". That might help or not, but it's the basis. Other than that, if you can't run kext helper, it sounds as if you should reinstall, either with other options under "customize", or even a different release DVD ..

BuXb Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Nick4753, it is usually OK to do kext swapping via MacDrive as long as the kext(s) already exist(s) because MacDrive does not change permissions of existing files, but it is required that you also delete /System/Library/Extensions.mkext before booting back into Mac OS ..
