Similar to Chiefbeats, my USB 3.0 ports (they are actually all USB 3.1 Gen 1 according to Dell specs) will only work with USB 2.0 devices. I have read through many forum posts, tried discovery, etc., but my SS ports never show up in discovery. IOREG only lists HS ports. When I exclude HS (using -uia_exclude_hs), but include the HS port my KB/mouse is on via boot flags (uia_include=HS08), my kb and mouse still do not work even though I included them on the boot arg list.
FBPatcher shows my USB controller is 0x8086:A2AF, so I have included XHCI-unsupported.kext in my EFI\Clover\kexts\other folder, but once booted, System Information/Extensions shows XHCI-unsupported.kext (0.9.2) as NOT LOADED. Why is this kext not loading?
Since trying to get things working, I have actually gone from bad to worse. It used to be my USB 3.0 flash drives would mount, but only operate at USB 2 speeds. Now, they don't mount at all. USB 2.0 flash drives mount in all my ports (2 USB 2.0 rear, 4 USB 3.1 rear, 2 USB 3.1 front, 2 USB 2.0 internal header used for BT card). I thought I had put everything back the way it was but still cannot mount a USB 3.0 flash drive.
The fact that IOREG does not show any SS ports keeps me from going much further.
Any ideas where to go from here? Attached are the debug files required.
Thanks.
