Hi there,
i got an msi wind, 2gb ram, dell 1490, bios 1.06. I installed the msiwindosx86 release. Everything's fine but the usb.
I mean, it woeks great with pen drives, hard-disk and so-on, but if i don't connect mouses or internet keys before i boot it, they don't work, it doesn't recognize it. I tried to repair permissions with disk utility, but nothing has happened.
Anyone has the same problem? How did you fixed it? Is something in the bios configuration I ahve to change?
Please, please, please, answer to me....
Thanx in advance to anybody who'll be able to help me.
With regards,
paolo

Did you install the Security Update 2008-005 through the Software Update-function?

No, I didn'it, i did no update at all... Does it work with it?

Nope, but at least now we know it doesn't work before updating.
You are not alone

Exactly. I thought it happened after the software update. Apparently not.
Both you, jshooter and I have this problem, and possibly a Russian guy (oujirou) too.

So there we are ........

I second having this problem too, as I wrote in my first post. Would be nice to find a solution...

does it happen on all usb ports? It doesn't work on my two usb ports but surprisingly works on the third usb port. weird.

I'm going to test it on my U90 and confirm whether it's true.

look here, it should help - look for "usb_fix_1.3.mpkg.zip" file
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=95789&hl=usb+fix+1.3

Thanks Andrzej,

As per the instructions on that page, I checked the version numbers and found --

kernel version: 9.1.0
system kernel version: 9.4.0
( CFBundleShortVersionString 9.4.0 / CFBundleVersion 9.4.0 )

So it doesn't match.

Will look at the instructions what to do next ...

Hi Marc,

just install usb_fix_1.3.mpkg file (you can find that file one first page of the thread), select CUSTOMIZE button and then select combo: kernel + system.kext - I selected TOH sleep 9.2 and system.kext and after that all works OK.

Andrzej

Hi guys,
sorry i didn't follow the discussion at all.
I did as _AND_ said, and it works great to me too!!!!!!!!
Problems seem to have solved, it's just few minutes I'm using it but it seems work perfectly.
I do thnk you all, especially _AND_.
Hope it works fine for all of you.
Cheers,
paolo

I do have the same here - kernel 0.9.1 and and system kernel Version 9.4.0



I cannot install the usb Fix, whenever I try this I do get an error message "Installation has failed: run preflight script for 9.2.0 ToH Sleep Kernel +System.kext"

Has anybody else with a wind and a msiwindosx86 installation been successfull?

regards
Frid

arrrgh - killed my macos installation after the failed install of the usb-fix.

Now the system does not boot any more. Well I guess I have to install again

Frid

try this for the kernel update..

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054update.html

It's perfectly safe to install...

well, msiwindosx86 already came with mac OS 10.5.4

Frid

What sed8ed mean is that you should download the 10.5.4 update and instll it. Then kernel will be updated to 9.4.0 properly and usb should work fine.

Will try this myself and see how it goes. But don´t have a usb modem or similar to test until I get back to work tomorrow.

I still do not get it, i thought msiwindosx86 allready upgraded me to 10.5.4 At leat that is what my "about this mac" says. (see screenshot) So what kind of update did I miss?

regards
Frid

The 10.5.4 you have installed doesn´t have the latest kernel updated properly.

In Terminal you should write

uname -a

and post result.

Should be something like:

Darwin brumbrums-mac-pro.local 9.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.4.0: Tue Feb 5 16:13:22 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.3.13~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

I fanally tried it and ... what can I say ... IT WORKED Thanks so much for the solution!!!!
