[Guide] Vanilla Retail 10.6.x with Chameleon v2 for Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L

[xAberracus]

have you tried using OrangeIconFix.kext in your E/E folder? it should be in Support File v 1.0/part4/3/kexts/for 10.6.0

 

Thanks for your help, that did work

 

If by full you mean my original unmodified DSDT then this is it: DSDT_r1_GBT_GBTUACPI_1000_MSFT_100000C.dsl.zip

You should run diff on both unmodified DSDT files, then you know what parts of my modified DSDT have to be changed for UD3L

 

 

 

 

That's ok if you don't have some device that checks USB port's power capabilities, but it won't do any harm if you use that new patch anyway.

 

 

Thanks MM67, but can't i use your dsml directly with my UD3l ?

[menikmati]

Try this. Boot with USB audio disconnected, put system to sleep, wake up and connect USB audio card. Does it work then ?

 

 

Done.

 

@ menikmati

Can you try this one.

GA_EP45_DS3L_DSDT_with_Power_Fix___v3.zip

 

Thanks for the help blackosx and mm67. Before using the new DSDT, I tried mm67's advice but whenever I put my system to sleep and attempt to wake it up, my CPU fan whirrs to maximum speed for a second then it dies down and repeats this process (it sounds like it's booting up and turning off) until I remove the power plug from the back of the computer and let it sit for 30 seconds without power.

 

I then installed the DSDT above and plugging in my sound card still has the same result of "Current Required (mA): Unknown."

[mm67]

Thanks for your help, that did work

 

 

 

 

Thanks MM67, but can't i use your dsml directly with my UD3l ?

 

I wouldn't do that without checking for differences in original DSDT files.

[xAberracus]

I wouldn't do that without checking for differences in original DSDT files.

 

My UD3L is using a very basic DSDT, VERY basic, without speed step, is just a basic one, do you have something special in your dsdt ?, i mean some kind of special hardware.

[mm67]

No, there is no special hardware in the DSDT that I posted to this thread but if you look closer at UD3 and UD3L specs then you see that there is some differences already at basic level.

[blackosx]

Had to make one more change to method INI, without this one bit wouldn't get set on my board. You can check if you need this by running sudo setpci -s 0:1a.7 0x52.w right after boot. If result is already C9C2 then you don't need this change, on my board result is C8C2 which means that bit 8 doesn't get set.

Okay. Thanks for double checking.

....

I will test it when I get back on my hack this evening and post a revised DSDT if it's needed.

To confirm with DSDT v3 running sudo setpci -s 0:1a.7 0x52.w after boot returned C802.

Using mm67's revised _INI method and running the same command after boot returned C9C2.

 

Here's the DSDT with the revised _INI patch.

Thanks again mm67.

 

Hi Blackosx, after reading the 4 pdf, and implementing it, i have correct icons now for my hard disks, everything look cool, my firewire card now looks good on the system profiler and can recognize a hard disk when i plug it, BUT it doesn't show in finder and after some time my computer hangs, really no the hack just the USB ports, is there something wrong with the dsml with firewire enabled?

Well done. When you say your Firewire hard drive doesn't show in the Finder, do you mean it just doesn't show on the Desktop? Can you see the drive in the sidebar in a Finder window?

 

When do the USB ports hang? can you describe it better.. what exactly are you plugging in and is it the same for all USB ports?

 

BTW Blackosx, im using you latests DSML, " GA_EP45_DS3L_DSDT_with_Power_Fix___v3.zip " modified with my cpu details as recommended by mm6.

Great

 

I followed your recomendations and implemented the smbios.plist with the correct speed of my procesor and FSB, i put this:

	<key>SMexternalclock</key>
<string>333</string>
<key>SMfamily</key>
<string>mac</string>
<key>SMmanufacter</key>
<string>Apple Inc.</string>
<key>SMmaximalclock</key>
<string>2833</string>

 

note the SMexternalcock its supposed to be the FSB so iput there the FSB of my q9550, i am ok with that? BTW my system now says 2.83 ghz, so this is the solution for the 2.67 ghz in about this mac.

Yes, that is correct. See page 5 of my PDF guide 'Part 4 - Configure for GA-EP45-DS3L v1.01'

 

MM67 please can you post your full dsml , i have a GA-EP45UD3L with another Q9550 and will love to use your DSML if its possible.

For reference, Jamonda has a GA-EP45-UD3L and has gone the process of comparing his original Gigabyte DSDT against mm67's.

You can read here

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1355799

then here

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1356123

and then read down from here

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1356472

 

Jamonda concluded that the GA-EP45-UD3L has an identical DSDT to the GA-EP45-DS3L. So although you shouldn't use mm67's DSDT directly, you can use the modified version of it that I post here.

 

My UD3L is using a very basic DSDT, VERY basic, without speed step, is just a basic one, do you have something special in your dsdt ?, i mean some kind of special hardware.

Don't worry if your DSDT doesn't include stepping data yet. Take your time to read and understand everything. Your machine will work just fine without it for now using NullCPUPowerManagement.kext & SleepEnabler.kext.

[jamonda]

Hi, Blackosx.

1. Yes, I can confirm that your DSDT is 100% compatible with EP45-UD3L.

2. I've been reading the last posts and I can say I've also had problems with USB power.

When I connect my iPhone 3GS to the rear USB ports it can be charged and iTunes detects it.

However, when connected to the front USB ports iTunes can't detect it, nor the phone can be charged.

I'm using your last DSDT but the problem persists. It's attached to this post (power fix v4 with my CPU settings).

Any help?

dsdt.dsl.zip

[xAberracus]

To confirm with DSDT v3 running sudo setpci -s 0:1a.7 0x52.w after boot returned C802.

Using mm67's revised _INI method and running the same command after boot returned C9C2.

 

Here's the DSDT with the revised _INI patch.

Great!

 

So i will use my own DSDT (from my DS3L) in the UD3L, perfect, because is the same CPU.

 

Ok the firewire device wich i plug is an external HD, and after a few seconds everything hangs but the computer still ping back from the network, so its not hanged up, just look like the usbs are out of work..., if i unplug the mouse and plug it back, it doesn't receive power. (the lights don't start up again)

 

 

Respect to the V4, i tested my computer with V3 and it gives back C9C2

 

Thanks for your great help guys

[helob]

I look forward to hearing how you get on. Thanks

 

 

Hi,

A suggestion on your new installed guides files.

Include a change log at end of revised pdf.

I noticed that there is already a revision to "Part 4 - Configure for GA-EP45-DS3L-V1.01 Revised"

It will be great to include a change log at the end to avoid having to compare the 2 pdfs to find the changes.

TQ & have a nice day

Hi jamonda

 

i have just plugged my iPhone 3G (not the 3GS) in to the front USB ports on my machine and iTunes detects the iPhone and it charges fine. You are using the same DSDT as me so it can't be that, can it?

 

Have you used the front USB ports before for anything else?

[mm67]

Great!

 

So i will use my own DSDT (from my DS3L) in the UD3L, perfect, because is the same CPU.

 

Ok the firewire device wich i plug is an external HD, and after a few seconds everything hangs but the computer still ping back from the network, so its not hanged up, just look like the usbs are out of work..., if i unplug the mouse and plug it back, it doesn't receive power. (the lights don't start up again)

Thanks for your great help guys

 

That may be an irq problem, have you tried all usb ports. Also moving that firewire board to a different slot may help.

[blackosx]

Can you confirm this doesn't happen with the Firewire card removed?

Also back here you said you have the Firewire card working fine in 10.6.1 with your previous DSDT. If you use your previous DSDT now with 10.6.2, does the problem persist?

Respect to the V4, i tested my computer with V3 and it gives back C9C2

Are you saying that running the 'setpci' command with v4 of the DSDT (with mm67's revised patch) returns C9C2 or do you mean v3 of the DSDT returns C9C2 and you don't need v4?

Thanks for your guide, however some people don't already have a specific partition for chameleon (like me) and I don't know where to put it as a result of that.

[blackosx]

Thanks for your guide, however some people don't already have a specific partition for chameleon (like me) and I don't know where to put it as a result of that.

This guide is written with the purpose of doing a fresh install on to a spare HDD so the creation of a separate partition for Chameleon is straight forward. I have written in 'Part 1' of the guide, in the Setup Overview section

Chameleon can also be installed on the system partition or on the EFI partition which gets automatically created when you partition using a GUID partition table.

If you want to vary this install then feel free. When you install Chameleon you will just need to change the target drive to either the EFI or the SnowLeopard volume. Your choice.

Thanks for the follow up, first i will try MM67, idea of changing the firewire card to another pcie slot, and answering your questions Blackosx, this firewire card worked great with 10.5.8, i have been using your dsdt since the start of 10.6 and the firewire card never worked in snow correctly.

See how you get on swapping the card in to a different PCIe slot.

It's interesting that the Firewire card has never worked in Snow Leopard. Did you use a DSDT is 10.5.8?

Hi nick, Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Beta Build 10D522) delta update available since Jan-10 for ADC Members..

I´m trying to patch new AppleHDA version to make an new LegacyHDA.kext

Regards.

Blimey, is there anything Apple haven't touched?

Thanks for sharing..

 

Did you have any issues updating?

And does sound no longer work, hence why you are tying to patch a new AppleHDA?

[Meatwagon]

great guide thanks!!!

I had the jumping cursor while QT or iTunes was running (of course Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2 wireless) and searched for a solution. The latest blackosx file SleepEnabler.kext didn't have the AppleUpstreamUserClientDisabler fix. So I downloaded this 10.6.2 SleepEnabler kext with iTunes lag fix and just updated:

 

<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1.0.0</string>

To:

<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1.0.1</string>

 

Seems to be working great!

 

Happy Holidays Everyone!

 

Hi Johnny, I am a choppy graphics suffering 8800GT user and a few similar uses have suggested your solution (and the post you quoted). Unfortunately it didn't work for me (I used the 'with itunes lag fix' option kext in your link)..

 

I use the tsueg SL install method, and am currently running 10.6.1 (could this be the issue?) and get the crash message as per the attachment. My E/E dir looks like:

 

LegacyHDA.kext

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

OpenHaltRestart.kext

PlatformUUID.kext

SleepEnabler.kext

fakesmc.kext

 

I have tried that many solutions I figure I have nothing to lose by being cheeky and asking in another guides thread! Any ideas would be appreciated. I am hesitant on upgrading to 10.6.2 yet because I lose my wireless atheros5212 support.

Blimey, is there anything Apple haven't touched?

Thanks for sharing..

 

Did you have any issues updating?

And does sound no longer work, hence why you are tying to patch a new AppleHDA?

 

The updates went fine..Sound icon appears because its actived through DSDT, but i think that our actual 'LegacyHDA.kext' may be updated with new AppleHDA.kext version..

I´m talking to tmongkol to help us to update our LegacyHDA with 10.6.3 AppleHDA...

Thanks mate!

Now we got sound working by patching 10.6.3 AppleHDA binary and using our old 'LegacHDA.kext'..

But we are thinking about get it working without modify AppleHDA binary on /S/L/E.
