super_engine Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I can help you Also i have installed Kalyway 10.5.2 an my AMD desktop All works fine. But NO the USB ports. The solution is very simply. You must only delete the 'caches2 folder in the 'extensions' folder Every time that you power-on Leopard must delete that folder For this problem i have created a simple 'shell file'. You can try it. Copy it on your desktop, double click and the you will see your USB connections. -----Installation items------- Copy the file 'Enable_USB.command' on your desktop Open a terminal window and go in desktop folder execute the commands below: --- sudo -s (inset your admin password when requested) --- chown root:wheel enable_usb.command --- chmod 755 enable_usb.command close terminal window Use the command with simply double click on the icon Good Luck Enable_USB.command.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98972-usb-not-working/#findComment-707531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are you are using a 9.2.2 kernel with a 9.2 system.kext. Make sure they match.

I've also the same problem and I've just tried your shell command. Everything is ok now and my usb hard drive is finally recognized. How can we execute the command automatically at every system restart? Are there others solutions? thanks P.s I'm sorry for my english-...

LioNEXT Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Can I ask how we do this? also check out my post. I know that kernel and system.kext should match. but i wanted shutdown/restart/sleep to work. so i installed netkas 9.2.0 kernel but the system kext is newer 9.2.2. so my USB mounting gave problem. and here is how i solved it: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=95789 (you may also be able to automate the script you were talking about with the Lingon utility i talked about) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98972-usb-not-working/#findComment-719664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
