overshoot Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hi all, So finally that was it! With my new motherboard, no more hands/fingers hurts... ;-) My Pc temp's are now normal and values are quiet the same as Brett's ones. So Thanks a lot! That was a good info! Have a nice day all. ... And check the Netkas blog, Slice and others has done a good work (regarding monitoring temps...) Julien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorLipf Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 How is work on C-State-Support going on? Are there new code snippets to test? Edit: The modded FakeSMC makes it possible to monitor the GPU temp, but monitoring the fan speed is not possible. Could that be a DSDT-problem?

mezcal Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 great guide! Here my DSDT for m1530 with 8600m 256mb and T7250 pstates undervolted for vanilla speedsteep and all fixes of this guide. 800mhz 0.9000v 1200mhz 0.9000v 1600mhz 1.0000v 2000mhz 1.0000v idle: 46c/53c full load:60c/70c gpu: min 65c / max 80c i guess it works for T7300 too.

pushingbuttons Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 hi i have a dell m1330 with t7100 and x3100 onboard graphics. does anyone have a dsdt for this configuration?? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubiluk Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I've used DSDT.aml from this guide (first post). Speed stepping is working but i have issues with running programs. Some applications like finder, activity monitor and others are unable to start. They stay in "Application is not responding" state forever. Strange thing is that after booting into system the first application I start from this problematic group will work correctly but I'm unable to start another. Also new tab in safari causes crash. Those things started to happen after changing DSDT. When I boot OSX from dell pre-boot CD everything works correctly but without processor power management of course. Do you have any clue what might be wrong? I've tried different DSTD.aml files from this thread but always with same results. I have Dell xps m1330 with t8300 core 2 duo This is my configuration: com.apple.Boot.plist (No DropSSDT=y flag because i was trying DSDT for any cpu after specific DSDT) <key>Kernel</key>

ssf1987 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi, I'm experiencing clicking noises with my hdd running Vanilla SL 10.6.3. I've tried clunkiller but it doesn't work bcuz "dtrace" is not working. I've searched around the forum but haven't found anything. Has anyone managed to get rid of the clicking noise? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorLipf Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 @ Lubiluk Check if it works, when you only use the kexts which are mentioned at the bottom of Post 1. @ ssf1987 Is it a Seagate harddisk? Seagate released firmware updates for several harddisks which may fix this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubiluk Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I've tried to use different sets of kexts including exaclty those from 1st post, but result is always same - applications are hanging during start (not all). Sound isn't working either but that's not a big problem for now. It's Vanilla 10.6.3 installed on MBR partition. What i noticed is that - in "About This Mac" Processor is "2.4 GHz Unknown" is that all right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssf1987 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 @ MorLipf I'm using a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320GB. I've tried hdapm n clunkiller but still the clicking noise continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubiluk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have Western Digital hard drive too and I guess clicking is just normal for this hard drive. That's not an issue only on Mac OS. My drive is clicking (parking head) also on linux and windows. I've done a lot of research about it but never found good solution. You can try silent mode in bios but it didn't resolve the issue for my drive. you can also struggle with hdparm although that's kind of not nice solution (may cause hard drive warming) but can stop clicking.

And internal speakers produce NO sound, however headphone sound and auto-switch detection work crisply. Have not tested Line In/out or microphone IN, internal MIC is not picking up much. I have been trying to understand pin configs to correct this, however any mods I have made to voodooHDA have not yielded any progress... anyone wishing to clarify Adding VoodooHDA and backup&remove AppleHDA are tho only changes I made to /S/L/E/, so I'm not sure if you've made any other changes.

Lubiluk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks. I changed kexts to match yours. Now sound works . But... when I added DSDT and SMBIOS entries to com.apple.Boot.plist I'm getting kernel panic during boot: panic (cpu1 0xfffff(...) "No HPETs available...

myrorym Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Are you using the generic DSDT? and both smbios and DSDT files are located in /Extra/. Permissions all correct/repaired? clear and rebuild the kext cache? I use Kext Utility 2.3.1. Not sure the terminal commands exactly do your internal speakers work?

Lubiluk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm using DSDT from first post (tried all). smbios.plist and DSDT are in /Extra. I use KextUtility for kext perpissions and caches.

Lubiluk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I removed entries DSDT,SMBIOS from com.apple.Boot.plist and used DSDT.aml you mentioned and I got Mac back. But still some applications won't run... Activity Monitor, System Preferences, New tab in Safari crashes. About com.apple.Boot.plist: Is that necessary to have those entries? I have MBR partition table so maybe that's causing some problems. About smbios.plist: Why do we have SMexternalclock set to 200 while bus speed is 800MHz? Oh, and I just noticed that my internal speakers work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrorym Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Could be the MBR. not experienced to say. Retail copy of SL? I won't try non vanillla. I think the clock speed is then multiplied. Mine reads correctly as 800 MHz in System Profiler. Good news on the speakers... did you change anything other than com.apple.boot.plist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubiluk Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 did you change anything other than com.apple.boot.plist? I had to edit com.apple.boot.plist, smbios.plist and some plist in PlatformUUID.kext. Sound just started to work after two or three reboots, I'm not sure if its related to some changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oSxFr33k Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I have edited my post. I did not carefully read all the threads from here. I now realize to use the non specific CPU DSDT until C states are sorted out and it really works great!! Slice's VoodooHDA experimental version 2.62 is causing a panic on its dependancies IOAudioFamily and IOPCIFamily kexts. ANYONE ON THIS ONE? I installed the iATKOS S3 version 2 and I think it installed some non vanilla kexts for 10.6.3. I removed the LegacyAppleRTC.kext, AHCIPortInjector.kext,BroadcomFix.kext, Disabler.kext, EvOreboot.kext, IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext,NVEnabler64.kext. I guess I have to install chameleon full installer and tick the options for EFI HFS Plus to be able to mount that partition and see if there are any kexts there. Should I replace the boot file with netkas EFI or Chameleon's latest Beta after use the chameleon installer? AeserBLN EFI caused my boot to stop after the Buffers 4096 thing Anyone having a hard time gathering the memory information in the system profiler? I see a message there saying there was an error while gathering information. I added my UUID into the smbios.plist under <key>SMboarduuid</key> Is that where I needed to put that? The smbios.plist I am using is the one offered here on this thread. Should the smbios.plist go in the /Extra/ or the /Extra/Extensions/? It looks like PlatformUUID.kext is not used any longer? What extra script should be in the com.apple.plist? I don't have the dropSSDT because I am using Brett's generic CPU. Do I need to add script for the path of the smbios.plist or will chameleon, Netaks or AserBLN bootloader find them automatically? One last question. I always repaired permissions and touched the extensions manually. chmod -R 755 Extensions/ chown -R 0:0 Extensions/ touch extensions Is it better to just use the Kext utility for Snow? Version 2.3? Will it reset all the kextcache properly or do I have to invoke them manually anywhere? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=140647 10.6.3 iAKTOS S3 version2 XPS M1530 T9500 Nvidia 8600M 4 GB 800mhz ram 15.4 inch LCD Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oSxFr33k Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I just realized now the newer Pre Chameleon will load our ACPI/SSDT etc tables. It loads all the ACPI tables that are extracted from the Live Ubuntu CD. This How To is in the first thread. No More LPC warnings. I don't think you have to add the dropssdt=y either although I may be wrong with that? I just renamed the *.aml tables and copied them to my /Extra Directory, except for the DSDT.aml that Brett was kind enough to share. Has anyone else tried this with any luck? Is there a command or anything in the GUI IOreg that I can see that will tell me all is working correctly? I can't get coolbook to work for me. Everything is grayed out and I see 0 for frequency and .95 for volts. EDITED ABOUT AN HOUR LATER: I must have misread the kernel.log I still have the LPC warning. I could swear that one of the boots did not show the warning. Just a note on the _PSS, _CST LPC and anything that has to do with Power Management (Speed Step) Etc. AserBLN has a near complete tutorial on this subject. His group has been making DSDT for the Giagbyte boards but there is a thread in insanely where they actually have an EFI Bios Hack. The way I see it it is processor and motherboard Bios dependent. Some retail desktop motherboard don't always support all S(S1,S2,S3,S4) levels. Limitations in the Bios/ACPI tables. Same deal with the Intel processors. As AserBLN makes note the Q6600 only supports S1, S2 but the Newer QX intels support the other levels as well. But will the motherboard and Bios support it. I have to assume the Dell Bios and Mobile Core 2 processor does support this but why the difficulty in implementing the DSDT code and fully functioning speed steps. From my searches I see so many threads on different ways or hacks you would think we could fix this on our XP M's? AserBLN Link. This is before he started to work on the modified chameleon boot loader. Its not complete yet and I don't think it will get there soon since he is on this new Chameleon Boot thing now. He did write a custom DSDT for two of my boards. The Asus and Gigabyte. http://efixusers.com/showthread.php?t=533 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorLipf Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Now I have spent several hours on C-State support. I have tried nearly every code snippet I could find throughout the Internet. But all the standard DSDT modifications for other chipsets and mainboards do not work on our M1530. What could be the problem? Do the LPC methods in the DSDT differ so much from the LPC-code of other mainboards, that they have to be rewritten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oSxFr33k Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Brett, Your non specific cpu DSDT actually is working near 100% on my other Dell D830. Only issue is when I sleep the kernel crashes. I can just extract the DSDT from the D830 and do all the mods as explained here but I want to get it to work exactly as your DSDT does. Are there any other mods I need to do it the DSDT besides the ones mentioned here at the start of the thread? Shutdown etc? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorLipf Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Is it possible to get a more detailed error message than "Warning LPC Initialization failed"? I think it may be possible that we are trying to apply a fix at the wrong code line. Maybe the Sbus device is still faulty and the LPC device is working fine.

MorLipf Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Thanks for the link, very interesting. That does not make the LPC-Warning more detailed, but it shows that all SSDT-Tables which are related to the C-States are loading fine. So the problem has to be fixed in the DSDT.
