RePete222 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 While attempting to boot with an ElCapitan USB install volume (using Enoch as bootloader), the system goes into a loop issuing various AppleUSBEHCI messages, pausing every now and then, and then issuing a "still waiting for root device message" followed by a bunch more of the same messages. Most of the messages say something like "USBSTS.HCHalted did not set as expected." I have tried various boot options, including PCIRootUID=1, USBBusFix=Yes, kext-dev-mode=1, and still get the same issue. Any ideas as to what bootflags and/or kexts I might be missing?

xerma2 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hi.... same issue here, tried with enoch usb method and Unib***t method to install el capitan with USBBusFix=Yes, npci option, USBLegacyOff=Yes, PCIRootUID=0/1, etc...(u know); but stuck at same message: "still waiting for root device" I wonder what would happen if we replace AppleUSBEHCI related kext/s in El Capitan usb from that of working Yosemite hackintosh by, of course, partially disabling SIP (CsrActiveConfig=0x3)........!!!!!! Anyone with some ideas???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerma2 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hey... I restored the image files from inside install os x el Capitan app to the USB ,followed by installing Enoch. Then I tried adding patched acpi and USB related kexts in extra/extensions and replaced related kexts in system/library/extensions as well. Now, no more above error while booting usb . however, it stuck at "Service exited with abnormal code:255" Will do some more googling.....

I have tried each and every USB port on my PC, and still no mouse movement/clicks. Also, only limited keys are even recognized from the keyboard: I can tab-select buttons, but hitting return or enter while intended button is highlighted does nothing. I have tried to read through the above threads/forums, but can't glean any insight into fixing this mouse issue. Can someone give me a bottom-line solution (or troubleshooting checklist) to get my mouse working? Thanks, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No keyboard or touchpad works in this one, attached images.......... Looks like this above mentioned issue is persistent with el capitan hackintosh (the USB ports & connections) making the boot process to stuck while no mouse, touchpad & keyboard working properly, at least, in most of systems if not all. Note:--> Somewhere on internet, I found that installing elan smart touchpad driver kext will be useful. Also, it appears to have something to do with usb kext problems.........(may be tesing different SMBIOS, not sure on this, though!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
