Master Chief's P5K PRO ACPI Warfare

[Master Chief]

Master Chief

Thanks for your good explanation.

 

Chief, question at the experts.

Is there a way in DSDT the CPU type (for example Xeon) to specify?

I do not get some programs installed, the cause unknown processor.

That would be super, because i would not like to change system files (vanilla system).

 

thx

parcival

No, but you can patch the SMBIOS table with help of Chameleon or Boot Think. That should help – this is however off topic talk so use search. Thanks.

You can if you use CPUInjector.kext

[spanakorizo]

yes, let's stay in topic

this, works: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=189562

i tried installing silverlight, that are checking for intel cpu, and there was no problem

(lol we posted exactly the same time)

[Master Chief]

I see. Thanks.

 

For anyone interested in fixing the "Unknown" processor type in About This Mac... here's the missing link.

[Master Chief]

I am going to fix a Chameleon RC3 related problem first now... I have to simply because that stupid boot loader won't work with two of my 1TB SAMSUNG drives – I now have two 1TB drives and the third one will be install right after I finished this comment.

 

Done!

Master Chief,

I have two firewire audio equipment.

When I transfers them in leopard 10.5.X , Appearance “FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure.” in system.log .

When I transfers them in leopard 10.6.1,Appearance “ FireWire runtime power conservation disabled. (2)" in kernel.log

I cannot use them .

It very important for me.How to solve?I love snow leopard.

@Cheezmen, Master Chief and spanakorizo

Thanks for the hint, CPUInjector.kext works perfectly.

 

@ Master Chief

because of your 1T Chameleon problem.

I use Boot Think and am surprised like well it work. Boot from USB, HDD and install the Retail DVD without problem.

I do not have a problem with Boot Think with my two 1T HDD.

apparently I'm just not smart enough to make any of this work. I spent all last night and this morning just trying to make AUDIO work, and I've had nothing but KPs during boot, USB ports not working, or simply seeing no changes. I've tried taking MC's dsl and patching it for my machine, I've tried taking my old dsl and patching in MC's changes, and I've tried making a brand spanking new dsl and patching that. It seems like as I go through and make changes one-by-one there will be no real changes, and then all of a sudden adding a new patch that I don't really care about (like removing PS2 keyboard) will kill everything.

 

In a last ditch effort to get some audio working before I have another whole day to kill trying to figure this out, here's a link to the DSDT I'm using right now that 'works'. I would be unbelievably grateful if someone could help me patch it for audio.. I can't go on without music!

I don't have any FireWire hardware at the moment – using eSATA – but I was already considering buying an external enclosure for FireWire testing. Let's do that sometime next week.

 

Would you mind testing something for me? Disconnect the hardware and tell me what error, if any, you get in kernel.log Thanks.

 

p.s. I see that this was your first post here, or with a new account, but please setup a signature first – we need to know what hardware/software you are using in order to help you.

Starting fixing things first:

 

1) Upgrade your BIOS to v1303 and update your signature accordantly.

2) Copy the latest dsdt.aml into / (use it after you've add the things you need).

 

And here are some general tips:

 

1) Use Disk Utility to check verify/repair permissions.

2) Always use: sudo /S*/L*/Extensions to trigger a refresh of Extensions.mkext

– You can check this by looking at: /S*/L*/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/ in finder and wait for it to refresh (change view to: Show items in a list). Don't use kext utility because it sucks (sets the wrong permissions, and it does something weird with one of the kexts).

Hi farski,

 

I have my audio working and I can't see why yours should not work. We have the same P5KPro. I modified my DSDT to have all the wonderful changes in Master Chief's DSDT (i think he will start wearing his underpants outside his trousers soon ).

 

I did a LOT of searching on these forums. Look for anything on ALC883 and you will finds quite a bit of information. The steps I did were:

1) patch my DSDT to get Audio device recognised by System Profiler.

2) Use LegacyAppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext and LegacyHDAPlatformDriver.kext.

3) Patch the LegacyAppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext for the right verbs for P5KPro. See Verbs dump in linux

I get a few sound assertion errors at start which other people have reported as well but the sound works.

 

I've attached my DSDT (with master chief v2.4 mods) and my patched kext for you to try. Also make sure your bios is latest as well as Master Chief said. My processor is Core 2 Duo E6750 2.6gz in the DSDT.

Thanks Master Chief

I already update my signatuie.

Tell me how to do fot test.I will do with one's strength.

I find that error having nothing to do with the audio equipment. Regardless of them power on or power off.

 

My system can find firewire.But when "FireWire runtime power conservation disabled. (2)" or "FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure." appears in kernel.log . The audio equipment can not work.

I saw this in forum

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...83914&st=20

 

I using Chameleon-2.0-r431 and p.c.-efi 10.2 boot leopard 10.5.5.My firewire working fine.

 

I also using dsdt v2.6 and some kext in Extra folder.

But in snow leopard "FireWire runtime power conservation disabled. (2)"……still.

 

So I guessing ,Whether this error come form the boot?

[macandrea]

Hi,

 

thank you for this great thread!! Reading through your messages I had the chance to learn a lot regarding OSX install. I started using OSX 10.5.4 as a test and it slowly became my main OS (for HD recording and mixing); reading your posts I realized my installation had a lot of problems, so I bought SL, started again from scratch, and now I have an almost perfect installation!!! Still a few glitches here and there, but nothing serious.

 

Thanks a lot!

Master Chief,

I make momentarily something cosmetics with "Name (_SUN, One)".

Thereby am tripped i over that.

 

Device (EHCI)  // Renamed from: EUSB - Extended with Power Management and Port Wake Capabilities.
           {
               Name (_ADR, 0x001D0007)
               /*Name (_SUN, One)*/
               Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
               {
                   0x0D, 
                   0x03
               })
..........

 

with active _SUN get the following error message.

 

12.10.09 15:49:12	kernel	USBF:	2.349	AppleUSBOHCI[0xb56e000]::
CheckSleepCapability - controller will be unloaded across sleepUSBF:	2.349
AppleUSBOHCI[0xb9d1800]::CheckSleepCapability - controller will be unloaded across sleep

 

This concerns only EHCI device, all other devices is OK with _SUN.

 

An idea?

 

Thanks for your time.

Master Chief,

 

I try to apply all your modifications on my DSDT.aml file on a P5QPro motherboard (ICH10),

every thing seems OK (I compare the data you add with the intel PDF it's look like the registry are the same between ICH9 and ICH10)

there is only on data I can't find in the intel doc :

Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () { //Current Resource Setting (ICH9R-3169722.pdf / 12.11 / page 375

is the page ok ?

Welcome aboard!

 

And keep reading this thread because we'll be having more updates for you soon. The first one will be big:

 

===============================================================

The following devices have been removed for the next release:

ASOC, RMSC, SIOR and a hidden one called IELK

 

Be prepared, because I removed a whopping 130KB. Resulting in a much smaller version of dsdt.aml (1/3 reduction). Making it a much better read for all of us.

 

Also, shutdown now works without OpenHaltRestart.kext

 

Warm boot (restart) still not working – which is high on my TODO list. Back to work now.

[barnum]

Master Chief,

 

if I understand your method for the DVD rom sleep PB,

you add :

Method (_GTS, 1, NotSerialized) // Going To Sleep.

{

Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.SATA.ORM)

 

if (LEqual (\_SB.PCI0.SATA.P2E, One))

{

Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.SATA.P2E)

}

}

For PORT P2E so port sata 2 (if the number start from 0 according to the intel doc, port 3 for the P5K doc)

So If my DVD rom is on port 5, I should change P2E to P5E

an to the same in this part of DSDT :

if (LEqual (\_SB.PCI0.SATA.P2E, Zero))

{

Store (One, \_SB.PCI0.SATA.P2E)

}

Return (WAKP)

Right ?

nothing else ?

You can check things by adding a _INI Method yo the SATA Device in your DSDT. Here's what I used for testing (got to be creative sometimes):

                Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)
               {
                   // MV is reserved –let's find out the values by putting some of my drives in the OFF state.
                   if (MV)
                   {
                       // Store (Zero, SC) // Change to SATA-4 Ports mode.
                       Store (Zero, P2E) // SATA3/DVD Drive in OFF state.
                       // Store (Zero, P1E) // Backup Disk in OFF state.                    
                   }
                   if (LEqual (MV, 0x01))
                   {
                       Store (Zero, P3E)
                   }
                   if (LEqual (MV, 0x02))
                   {
                       Store (Zero, P4E)
                   }
                   if (LEqual (MV, 0x03))
                   {
                       Store (Zero, P5E)
                   }
               }

Remove everything you don't want/need. Having a single line in _INI to put the port into the OFF state should work. Auto sleep works then, but how do you change a Read Only bit?

 

I know that it can be done (somehow) simply because I verified it 20 times. And I did check sleep and wake ups. Including inserting/removing DVD's so it has to be possible. And yes, I did remove the _INI method before testing (also not part of the attached dsdt).

 

The problem is that I lost the working code during the final cleanups; I started to add checks and removed some code blocks... thinking not to need them anymore. And yes that was before making a backup.

 

And I only noticed it, the error, when I was adding my post here. Thinking Hmm... this can't be right. And it wasn't.

I feel so stupid for not making a backup. This has to wait a little longer now (until after DSDT V2.7 is released).

[Master Chief]

Great. And in that case I'll better add some notes:

Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)
{
// Store (Zero, SMS) // NO boot.
// Store (0x01, SMS) // AHCI (default value from BIOS).
Store (0x02, SMS) // RAID – Yellow drive icons (ICH8-R RAID in System Profiler).
// Store (0x03, SMS) // NO boot.
Store (Zero, SC) // 4-port mode (on 1 controller).
}

Never mind the yellow drive icons (easy fix) we need to set SC/SMS or you won't be able to set P[4/5]E (see notes in P4E and P5E). Now read this:

 

NOTE: This bit takes precedence over P3CMD.SUD (offset ABAR+298h:bit 1). When

MAP.SPD[3] is ‘1’ this is reserved and is read-only 0.

 

NOTE: This bit takes precedence over P2CMD.SUD (offset ABAR+218h:bit 1). When

MAP.SPD[2] is ‘1’ this is reserved and is read-only 0.

 

These are the two black SATA ports. That's my personal target (setting map[2/3/4] bits). No change in SC/SMS required?

I may misunderstand the intel doc :

SATA Mode Select (SMS) — R/W. SW programs these bits to control the mode in

which the SATA Controller should operate:

00b = IDE mode

01b = AHCI mode

10b = RAID mode

11b = Reserved

you write "SMS,2", does it mean : Raid mode ?

No. SMS is the name and the 2 (in red) is the bit length. And yes, you have to store 0x02 in SMS (at boot time) to activate RAID.

 

 

DSDT V2.7 has been released today (see attachments in post #3).

 

The following Devices have been removed: ASOC, SIOC, RMSC and IELK

 

I'll let the number do the talking:

 

DSDT V2.6

ASL Input: dsdt.dsl - 10522 lines, 339755 bytes, 4882 keywords

AML Output: ./dsdt.aml - 39750 bytes, 1065 named objects, 3817 executable opcodes

Compilation complete. 0 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 138 Optimizations

 

DSDT V2.7

ASL Input: dsdt.dsl - 6655 lines, 203805 bytes, 2820 keywords

AML Output: ./dsdt.aml - 23602 bytes, 789 named objects, 2031 executable opcodes

Compilation complete. 0 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 96 Optimization

 

The good news is that shutdown now works as advertised by Apple (without OpenHaltRestart.kext):

1) control+eject.

2) command+option+control+eject.

3) Apple Menu Shutdown.

4) Enter shutdown -h now (in terminal window)

5) Login window.

 

The bad news is that you still need OpenHaltRestart.kext for the occasional warm boot (restart).

 

All in all a good starting point for further cleanups and code reduction (the Processor blocks for example).

 

p.s. The archive now includes two diff files; one against DSDT v2.6 and the other against the vanilla DSDT (BIOS v1303).

YAYYYY!!! sound! 2.7 seems to have fixed whatever issues I was having. IRQNoFlags did need to be removed to eliminate sounds sound crackling and whole-system hiccups I was getting about every 10 seconds. So..thanks to MC for all his work; except for now I'm two weeks behind on TV shows and podcasts that I have to catch up on!

Master Chief, I salute you for your knowledge and your work for hackintosh community. People with P5K boards are lucky that they have you for making their systems close to a real Mac. Just wondering about people like me who are having Gigabyte boards that we don't have someone like you to help us out. I know you don't like people veering off-topic...just wanted to congratulate you mate...

 

cheers

Hi Master Chief,

 

I have some question about SpeedStep.

I include in my dsdt (base on your 2.7 version adapt for a P5Q Pro), cst and p-states extract with everest on windows and it work under MacOs using Imac 9.1 data in smbios.plist.

 

Can I use them if I try to put MacPro 3.1 or 4.1 in smbios.plist ?

 

regards,

Barnum
