Okay, I had a look at that one but the BIOS does not feature a lot of options concerning USB. There was nothing about legacy emulation or anything remotely similar, so that was a dead-end. > Secondly, try editing src/sys/amd64/amd64/machdep.c > (or /sys/i386/i386/machdep.c if you are using i386), search for > "MacBook", and adding the output of the command > "kenv smbios.system.product" > to the list of strings compared. I tried that (with the help of some of the kind people from bsdforen.de ;-)) but that didn't fix the issue at all. Rebooting resulted in panic. Oddly enough, a complete poweroff and reboot from the old kernel worked well enough. Like I said: a cold-boot increases the chances significantly while a reboot is almost always bound to fail. > This may not make any difference, or may even make things worse (so keep > your backup kernel ready:) but it's worth a try. Well, it didn't immolate my machine so I'm fine. ;-) Thanks, Christian -- Todays mistakes are tomorrows catastrophes.Received on Wed Oct 07 2009 - 15:36:35 UTC
