There are a couple of things that might be worth trying. Firstly, try playing with any USB-related options in the BIOS (especially "legacy emulation" or similar. 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. This may not make any difference, or may even make things worse (so keep your backup kernel ready:) but it's worth a try. Gavin
