mackerintel Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Update: also have a look at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=133683 Update: file chameleon in chameleon.zip should become your /boot if you use "easy install method" for Chameleon. If you don't know how to install Chameleon chances are you may screw this up. But reinstall of Chameleon should cure. Still I take no responsibility. Try at your own risk Update: relaxed some sanity checks due to the problem on Superhai's mobo. Thanks him for testing chameleon.zip Update: I've just added two options to control DSDT override. First one is DSDT=<filename> which let you specify DSDT file to load. Second one is DropSSDT. If you write DropSSDT=y then all SSDT tables (additions to main DSDT) will be hidden from OSX. If you need to patch SSDT just reunite it with SSDT and override DSDT dropping SSDT. Debug version is also in the archive chameleon_ssdt.zip Hello. Some people were experiencing problems because of the incompatible DSDT. So I've written a patch to Chameleon which looks for the file named /DSDT.aml and if it finds one it overrides the DSDT with contents of this file. Micro-howto. Under Ubuntu sudo cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat sudo aptitude install iasl iasl -d dsdt.dat Then correct your dsdt.dsl. (Look at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=90505) iasl -ta dsdt.dsl then put dsdt.aml to DSDT.aml in the root of your macos partition. Install Chameleon (any Chameleon install method should do. I personally load it with GRUB) On my system this had mixed results: I now can use vanilla AppleACPIPlatform and AppleAPIC (before I had to use old JaS kexts) but when I try to boot with cpus=2 I recieve a crash (but significantly later than before). Perhaps I have to fix my DSDT some more, perhaps my new problem isn't DSDT-related or perhaps my patch has some problems. This patch is really fresh, I've just written it and I tested it only on my machine . So any bug is possible. You try this patch on your own risk. I take no responsibility of any possible damage. But if you try please leave a comment in this thread Just for the people using search: DSDT replacement solves different problems. One of them is the problem "using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers" (like http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78235 except that you get both cores working) EDIT: Removed old version. Put new which should support more configurations chameleondsdt_acpi12.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerintel Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Small update: on my laptop additionally GenericCPUPowerManagement.kext was conflicting with dual-core. After reinstall (just to clear everything) using modified DSDT allowed me to use second core but since I didn't reinstall GenericCPUPowerManagement.kext I have no speedstep. Will go around and look for another speedstep solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4ckster Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Wow this is great news, I too need the old ACPI and APIC to boot, if this works out maybe it can be merged with the chameleon /dfe for the boot-132 cd's and dfe/efi partition booting. This would be huge imo. Great job I am booing a patched kernel + extensions + boot.plist from the efi partition on my P4 system so this would be of interest to me.

olvko Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Seems to work OK for me. I used to use modified BIOS and I dumped DSDT from that - now I can use vanilla BIOS and with Your patch everything is OK - two cores and new AppleACPIPlatform and AppleAPIC as weel. Good work!

netkas Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 ur patch doesnt work on gigabytes, freeze after it find rsdt address (enabled debug) can it be cause by bl unable to find acpi2.0 rsdp on gigas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerintel Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 ur patch doesnt work on gigabytes, freeze after it find rsdt address (enabled debug) can it be cause by bl unable to find acpi2.0 rsdp on gigas ? I don't think so since on my computer it doesn't find ACPIv1 and the code is completely symmetrical about v1 and v2. Do you have more than 4GB of RAM? If it's the case then it's possible that xsdt is upper than 4 GB and then my patch find some random data instead of XSDT. So it writes "rsdt=..." but no "TABLE ..."? I'll add different sanity checks to be sure that it finds correct table Try the attached version. I added some checks and if it finds an address over 4GB it drops XSDT completely hoping that OSX reverts to RSDT. Does anybody know about simple way of accessing memory over 4GB? P.S. Corrected the name of compiler in first post. Sorry for mistake EDIT: deleted this download. Use the latest version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use GRUB method. You can try just putting boot at the root of your partition. Have you put the corrected DSDT in the file /DSDT.aml of your partition? Did you put the compiled version?

It doesn't suffer from the same problem as mine (aliases). UnfortunatelyI don't have a lot of experience with DSDT to determine what's wrong with it. But my first suggestion would be to go through kexts. Perhaps some of them conflict with dual-core. Try moving all the modified and non-apple kexts out of the extension folder.

Have fun Readme is included. If it fails please PM me and attach the Patcher output. greetz PatchDSDT.zip Thanks to all Chameleon/OSX Developers who make such things possible, especially zef, kabyl and modbin for helping me at any time and share their work/knowledge, keep it up thanks.
