UseSystemCaches=True Boot Problem

[egrath]

Hi,

i'm currently trying to build a HP 8100 CMT based Hackintosh (i7 1st Gen, Radeon 6670) and have the problem that the system currently only has full functionality when booting with "UseKernelCaches=No".

When booting with Kernel Caches, the most visible problem is that USB isn't working (No Mouse/Keyboard).

What i've tried so far:
- Rebuilding the Caches and making sure that the permissions/ownership of the Kexts in /S/L/E are good (1)
- Played around with various Bootloader Parameters (2)
- Fixed the DSDT with the HPET Patch as a similar problem arised somewhere else and was solved by the HPET Patch

I've seen no problems so far when booting without caches (everything works as expected, even sleep and power states).

(1)
"kextcache -z -t -all-loaded -prelinked-kernel" gives the following output:

Any ideas on which steps i can take to make it work *with* caches?

Thanks,

Update:

After debugging the kext loading process with kextlog=0xfff it seems that the problem occurs cause of the USB Kext being autounloaded during boot when booting with Kernel Caches. Any hints on how to turn off kext autounloading - or a explanation what can produce this behavior?
