Kalyway - No USB

mudemi · #1 12-16-2008, 06:53 PM

Hi guys,

first of all i want to thank you guys for your help til here

my HackBook is really working quite good now. Unfortunately i still got sometimes system crash with kernel panic: "LOCAL APIC VERSION IS NOT 0x14 AS EXPECTED"

But I don want to cry too much

i am really happy til now, cause crashes are not really very often. Anyway, I have got another big Problem.

Now that I have installed everything like working QE/CI, working SOUND, I noticed that my USB does not work correct! I already tried the usb-fix installer from another forum, also deleted cache, but nothing worked.

With every other OSX86 Distro my USB did work, but not with Kalyway 10.5.2. But this distro works out perfect, cause it recognizes my SATA Harddrive, so installation takes about 20-30 minutes. With other Distro´s, like Leo4All v.3 or v.4.1 it recognizes only as ATA and so it is too slow!

Here are my specs:

AMD CPU 1.8 Ghz ML-24 Turion
MAC OSX 10.5.5
Voodoo Kernel 9.5.0
GeForce Go 7300 qith QE/CI
SOUND SIS7012

So, anyone any idea how to fix my USB Problem. Maybe someone could just send me the USB related kexts. Think, this should resolve it, shouldn´t it?

Cheers

Do USB devices that are connected before you boot up work?

no, unfortunately not.

if there is something on my usb port on boot up, my system crashes during boot up.

i misunderstood the hint with deleting the cache folder. i just thought, i have to delete everything in the cache folder, but you have to delete the whole folder.

so this is also a little bit weired, but anyway. no problem, if i have got mac on my asus :P

i am researching for last thing, cause i still have got random crashes.

i am using disableapic and nolapic, but after some time i work with mac, it just crashes.

i have read that if you have got a pentium 4 or intel xeon, you have got local version 0x14. but i have got a amd ml-34 turion. so i guess this is the thing, that goes wrong! but i have nothing found how to resolve this

cheers

I noticed this https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/36583 There seems to be a known issue with the BIOS. Asus has updated the BIOS for your machine since this post stating the problem is fixed. I would be extremely cautious with updating your BIOS. Make that your last possible resort.

I am sure some smart person will chime in with the real solution so do some more research first.

If you do decide to flash the BIOS do it from inside the BIOS with the laptop plugged in to AC. Never use Asus Update Utility to flash your BIOS from windows. Even Asus reps say it will bork your system.
