Hy! g3-5-list@googlegroups.comHave you since solved your problem with bad extensions? If not, try recreating the mkext, or play with kernel extensions (perhaps they are not even loaded ... ?) sudo kextload/kextunload If it would not help, then I would just reinstall the system. Yours,

Hi Matevž, I solved the problem by popping in another HDD with Leopard already installed. The other drive is already erased, and I got rid of the incompatible RAM, so I guess I'll never know what happened. Too bad, because I'm still curious as to what exactly happened. It was a first for me.

Not exactly, because the mouse worked perfectly in all USB ports, including the keyboard's.It is back to normal now with a different hard drive, though. It's just bizarre... I've had HHD's do strange things. it would be interesting to know if DiskWarrior could fix your problem? John M

Hello! I would recomend to look at the open-firmware(reset nvram, reset-all). But since you have no option of inputing text into the console (perhaps it would work with a bluetooth keyboard), try resseting the PMU the hard way (via battery on the logic board). The reason why I think that firmware

Hi Matevž, Thanks for the good advice! The keyboard actually worked for all purposes like selecting the startup drive, getting into firmware, booting into safe mode, and so forth. It's when the OS is loaded that I would lose all keyboard input. Tried all of the above. No cigar. Then I switched

Hi all, I have a dual 800Mhz Quicksilver with 640Mb of RAM running Leopard. It was working flawlessly until I tried a stick of RAM that didn't work -- meaning it was ignored by the system. From that point on, I lost all keyboard input. I took the RAM out, but still don't have keyboard input. I
