#KEXT UTILITY FIND FLASH DRIVE INSTALL#
Kext Utility is a straightforward app that enables you to easily install loadable kernel modules, known as kernel extension (kext), a fact that makes it an essential utility for Hackintosh installations.

When the functionality provided by any given loadable kernel model is no longer needed, it can be easily unloaded in order to free up memory and other resources. Easy to use and drag-and-drop-based kernel extension installer for OS X Loadable kernel modules are usually used to add support for new hardware and or filesystems and for adding system calls.

YMMV, I get the distinct impression this is caused by a number of factors.A loadable kernel module is an object file containing the necessary code to extend the running kernel, also known as base kernel, of an operating system. If this fails, do check your new kext versions against those in the 10.4.9 tree by looking in their ists - for some reason, it took two attempts for the correct files to be installed (may have been user error on my part.). One reboot later, the drive is back and consistently working. On a hunch, I also downgraded the IOHIDFamily kext to its 10.4.9 version, and cleared the kernel caches from /System/Library/Caches again. Load_hdi: IOHDIXControllerArrivalCallback: timed out waiting for IOKit to finish matching. However, I then observed the below appearing in console.log: I followed the above suggestions (clearing cache, downgrading IOUSBMassStorage and IOUSBFamily via Pacifist, many many resets) to no avail. It shows up in USB probes but simply will never, ever mount. It's only been affecting this drive, and none of my other USB devices nor a more recent Buffalo external USB drive. I've encountered this problem with my Buffalo Drivestation since upgrading to 10.4.10. Anyway if you did it by hand, then fix them just doing so:ĭo this before restarting your Mac, or you will have to do this launching from Install CD and using Terminal (or via Terminal on another Mac, using ssh). This will give you the previous 10.4.9 USB functionalities.ĭo this with Pacifist, not by hand! Otherwise be sure to fix the ownership of those files, or they won't be loaded on startup and you will loose keyboard and mouse.

I did this using Pacifist on the 10.4.9 Combo Update Package (don't know if those kexts are present in the 10.4.9 standard update (aka delta) package).
#KEXT UTILITY FIND FLASH DRIVE MAC#
In a Mac of one of my clients I solved the problem reinstalling ONLY the following two 10.4.9 kernel kexts: 1 does not work, here is a more radical solution: I think it could be due to the chipset used in the hard drive enclosure. I see this tips doesn't works for everybody but just a few. If you don't want to install all of the developer tools, you can simply extract the application from the installer package using Pacifist. That's it! The only drawback is that you must have the Developer Tools installed (as USB Prober comes with them). After the drive mounts, quit USB Prober.Launch USB Prober (/Developer » Applications » Utilities » USB Prober).
So, if you have the same problem with your external USB device, here's a workaround until Apple fixes it: I tried several times and it always worked: USB Prober makes the drive mount. the drive mounted on desktop! Apparently the polling that USB Prober does on USB devices causes OS X to realize that the device is a USB Storage Class product and finally mounts it. As I needed some more device information, I launched USB Prober (included with Apple's Xcode Developer Tools) and. I used System Profiler to list USB devices and get the VendorID/ProductID of the drive it was listed amongst my other devices. But before doing this, I wanted to check if I could force the drive to mount in some way, and accidentally found the workaround. I was ready to use Pacifist to replace the new USB kernel extensions with the older 10.4.9 ones. The only solution found until now was downgrading to 10.4.9 again, but this is a real pain. So it was a problem with the 10.4.10 update.
Moreover, I tested the drive on another Mac with 10.4.9 and it worked flawlessly. I thought about an interface failure specific to my enclosure, but searching on the web, I saw that it was a common problem for 10.4.10 users with Intel Macs and external enclosures. After updating my Mac to OS X 10.4.10, my external FireWire/USB2 drive didn't mount any more (if plugged in via the USB2 port).
