im having a buggy little problem where my none of my usb ports work, i plug something in and it lights up for a second and then goes out. i first installed the speedstep kernel 9.2.0 then i updated to voodoo 9.5.0 and still nothing so i guess its not a kernel problem

Follow-up dispatches by @truehybridx

Author Update #1 @truehybridx 2009-03-20 ↳ Re: @erick2red
@erick2redthen check the version of your System.kext match the version of the kernel your booting

both System.kext and kernel are 9.5.0

all i had to do was copyACPIPS2Nub.kext to the extensions folder and reboot right?

Author Update #2 @truehybridx 2009-03-21 ↳ Re: @erick2red
@erick2redyes, that was for me. set right the permissions cp -r ACPIPS2Nub.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ cd /System/Library sudo chmod -R 755 Extensions sudo chown -R 0:0 Extensions sudo rm -Rf Extensions.mkext

done... and still nada luck

i have a usb harddrive constantly plugged in and its light is steady on... my thumbdrives light up then go out

Author Update #3 @truehybridx 2009-03-23

i thought the installer for the kernel does that but ill try again…

idk about hardware problem cuz it works all the other times with winxp and ubuntu

Author Update #4 @truehybridx 2009-03-24

i booted with -f and still nothing… hopefully by the end of today i finish downloading another distro and it might have better support, if not maybe itll work of my netbook

Field Note #2 @erick2red 2009-03-23

pretty sure it isn't a hardware problem?
and really sure your System.kext match your kernel version? did u booted with "-f" ater replace the old System.kext

Field Note #3 @erick2red 2009-03-23

yeah, but it seems there's something wrong with it.
i assume the same but it didn't work until i did it manually
