mitch_de Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hey koalala, nice work! I did "hand" patching, to add GFX (7950GT 512MB) and SFX (ALC889A), but i got same beep problem on my Gigabyte EP35C-DS3R. If you got any solution, would like to know about it too... :censored2: Thanks for great work. stickpin. Hi stickpin ! I to have that 889A on GAEP35-DS3 (no R) Can you upload(zipped) your dsdl.dsl , generated with that new win app ? ( the readable fromat for editing+recompiling please, not the small hex format .aml) ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybyte Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 After a few days with no answer. I'm back.So, it's very surprising for a Dual-BIOS motherboard since one of them is not erased. But a lot of people seems to have a double BEEP problem and overclock issue, isn't it ? For your problem, it may have delete ACPI table in patched BIOS but I can't understand if you don't send me the Patched BIOS and the Original one (or the original one with your settings). In all case, if you Dual BIOS card don't post anymore it may be a hardware problem (corrupted EEPROM ?). ------ I advice you to use : BIOS extract function -> Compile to DSDT.aml with D/C function -> DSDT.aml patching. You can also use "iasl -g" as administrator on the concerned PC and then use DSDT.aml patching. Then use DSDT override from PCEFI v9. If your patched BIOS is perfectly working you can continue to use it (all my PC's have one). For the others, I would advice you to not use patcher for BIOS patching until some tests are made. I need some betatester and some of them with a double beep problem or overclock issue. I'm scared that if you delete the ACPI table in the Bios, my pc won't boot, because ACPI links hard with bios... You're the expert, and i would like to ear your explanation about, overclock and beep / boot delay, problem. My mobo it's Gigabyte EP35-DS4 REV 1,1. I posted the file with two bios flavours (patched P35DS4(STD+GFX+LAN).14 and not pached P35DS4.14c) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=41660 Plase change the extension from ZIP to RAR (the forum changed it :S) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I want to improve all functions before :Next version will be 0.2.0 and will include : -AMI BIOS support -NVCAP (Dual-DVI,DVI+VGA,TV-OUT) selecter Three cheers for AMI BIOS support! I've tried extracting the DSDT data from my BIOS.ROM file with amitools and winhex and decompiling it with iasl (following a tutorial somewhere in the P45 chipset thread), and it decompiles fine, but after patching (both with your tool and fassl's DSDT Patcher under OSX) iasl refuses to compile it again (+200 errors). So I hope this situation will improve when your patcher can work with the BIOS.ROM directly (assuming that's what you mean). About the NVCAP, could you please include a way to set a custom NVCAP value? Great tool, great options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But something isn't clear, have you an EP35-DS4 or a P35-DS4 ? DukeRaoul explanation seems to be the good one. The overclock issue / double beep seems to be linked with Dual BIOS / or Virtual Dual BIOS from Gigabyte. It's much safer to patch single BIOSes mainboard apparently. Mainboard consider patched BIOS as faultly and that's why it load recovery BIOS and/or reset FSB (that's why overclock is not possible), but DSDT keep loaded. It may be a problem with the fact that 2 bios are not the same or with checksum value. Since AMI BIOS work differently, this issue will not happened on AMI mainboard. crazybite, I think that for your mainboard it's a hardware fault since Gigayte auto-resetting CMOS seems buggy on some Gigabyte card (eg. 965P-DS3 cold boot problem). Try recovery solutions for BIOS with floppy (not sure it will change anything) or RMA the mainboard, (if no led working and no fan, I've got the same problem on 965P-DS3 one year ago with original BIOS updating and I RMA the mainboard).

Koala, but my mobo works great with non patched lastest beta bios! I only have three problems with patched bios. Double Beep that you said that its linked with double-bios feature, boot delay because the double beep, and overclocking inestability. But if i set the patched bios to default it post perfect despite of the 3 mentioned problems.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koalala Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yes, you should use MUTE fix, but the last line isn't normal. It means that the patcher stopped because of overflow error (the patcher stops itself else it will be a lot of bricked mainboard). With AMI BIOS, don't use GFX or Network patch (no DGPT fix neither). You'll have 7 warnings and 31 remarks after fixing mute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I patched again with MUTE fix selected and the MUTE warnings are gone (thanks for the tip!) I'm going to try a reboot now, fingers crossed! lol The rest of the output is exactly the same as before. About the FATAL ERROR - am I right in guessing that it doesn't have anything to do with the generated dsdt.aml? It's about the patched .ROM file right? I'm not going to use that anyway. If that can brick a mainboard it would probably be a good idea if the patcher didn't generate patched bios.ROM when hitting a "FATAL ERROR"!

Yes, you're right, but the "patched" ROM, is the original one when FATAL ERROR appeared. It would be better if no file were generated. If the generated ROM isn't not working, tell me and use the attachement (manually patched). Since a lot of AMI BIOS are different it's difficult to create a general patching program. If it's working, you can keep the generated BIOS. EDIT: since you will use DSDT.aml, it's not a problem, and yes, FATAL ERROR is when replacing module into BIOS. Hello i dont know anything about dsdt, but i have been reading a while and i want to test itright now i have 10.5.5 installed from iatkos 5i dsdt.aml is alredy in place but i would like my nvidia 7800 gt work out of the box right now is running nvdarwin 1.2.5 and works ok, also i have another problem if i update to 10.5.6 everything works ok but time machine send an error thats why i am back to 10.5.5 so this tool can help me i have Intel DP35DP thanks sorry for my english You can test it. I advice you to use DSDT.aml first generated with this program and then to patch the BIOS if it's working. For TimeMachine, use ioreg to find you ethernet adapter location and your graphic card one.

Have you set the right hardware location (default in 0.1.8 was PCI0) ? Try using DVI+VGA+TV / HC12 since it's the most compatible. That means I cannot use a hand modded dsdt (with GFX/network, etc) to patch a BIOS.rom neither? or only apply when the patches are made with the patcher itself? Thanks for your amazing work! For the moment, there is a problem when you use a larger DSDT. You could patch graphics and network if the DSDT wasn't larger. You can remove some unused section if you want. If you don't have overflow message box you're right. It's not recommended to test 0.2 Beta on laptop until you have a crash recovery function.

You need to install it on a your PC. Download iASL here : http://www.acpica.org/downloads/binary_tools.php Extract iasl.exe Run as administrator "iasl -g" in a command prompt. Now you have extracted your DSDT, just patch it with the patcher. This is a little more complicated since your BIOS is not AMI and not Award.

OneSman7 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 koalala. I patched my DSDT.aml with your patcher and decompiled it to see what`s inside . At first I used ver. 0.1.8. There patch for GFX didn`t help me and I haven`t been able to use network patch since my internal realtek was located at pop6. I hoped that the new version will help me, but to no good. I applied GFX patch to pop2 (looked specially where video is located when using EFI) and network to pop6. Unfortunately, GFX did not work again and I still got error 35, which I hoped to get rid of. I don`t know what to do with video, but I managed to fix network. I edited DSDT table myself using method from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=140085. As I looked through DSDT patched by your little tool, I noticed that you add network as Device(LAN) and in the method above Device(GIGE) is used. In both ways my ethernet Realtek RTL8168 is displayed like en0 in system properties, but, when using Device(GIGE), I haven`t found error 35 even in the system log. Pls consider thinking about that and explain me (fool in DSDT ) how to make my GFX work. I`ve already mentioned my network adapter (it`s internal in motherboard MSI G31M-F). My videocard is GeForce 8800 GT with 512 Mb onboard) Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalala Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I will restore the 2 fixes, since GIGE don't gave errors, but isn't always recognized as en0. You can use older 0.1.3 and 0.1.4 patcher for GIGE network. For GFX it's surprising, could you post your patched DSDT.aml please (and an IOREG if possible).
