Hi All,
I had some difficulty upgrading to 10.8.5 because my KVM (keyboard, mouse, monitor switcher box) requires older USB support, so after I upgraded the mouse and keyboard stopped working. So after I upgraded I booted to my backup disk, in the same computer that still had 10.8.3 on it, and tried Multi-beast with the Miscellaneous/USB 3.0 – Universal to fix the 10.8.5 disk, however that cause a hang before the login screen, finally the following fixed the problem.
A_HD is the name of my SSD with 10.8.3
B_HD is the name of my SSD with 10.8.5 which boots with a frozen mouse
These commands were executed from the terminal (the $ just means you have a prompt, in the terminal)
$ cd /Volumes/B_HD/System/Library/Extensions
$ sudo mkdir ../old_ext
$ sudo mv IOUSBFamily.kext ../old_ext
$ sudo cp -r /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext .
Also note you can check the kext by;
$ cd IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents
$ cat INFO.plist
You should see something like;
<dict>
<key>com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily</key>
<string>2.6</string>
<key>com.apple.kpi.bsd</key>
<string>9.0.0</string>
<key>com.apple.kpi.iokit</key>
<string>9.0.0</string>
<key>com.apple.kpi.libkern</key>
<string>9.0.0</string>
<key>com.apple.kpi.mach</key>
<string>9.0.0</string>
<key>com.apple.kpi.unsupported</key>
<string>9.0.0</string>
</dict>
All seems to work fine now for the last few hours.
Cheers,
Scott
