Holy cow! I compiled your DSDT (kdawg_dsdt_GA_EP35_DS4.dsl) and used on the EP35-DS3L (of course, I changed the p-states for the CPU). SBUS works great! lool.. I think something is messed in my DSDT, and the problem is not located in Device (SBUS).. I'm going to figure out the problem.

That's great.

zoliky be warned there are a different number of packages under PCI0 > Method (_PRT,

for the DS3L and DS4

 

when I used a DSDT from a DS3 it bricked my p states. !

 

For those of you running custom dsdt's over the last 6 months or so, has it actually held true? Do updates seem to cause less trouble on systems that have "more vanilla" in them, and a minimal /E/E ?

 

Updates will always bring a little joy and a little pain, DSDT patch or no!

Hi Zoliky

 

I tried the command as you mention below both for SMBus and SBUS your typo :-) and got no output in either case.

 

I have now tested my final DSDT posted above and it works as expected.

 

No errors reported in the system or kernel logs and instant sleep when I hit sleep - but to come back out of sleep I need to hit the power button rather than click the mouse - no big deal though.

 

Now onto getting the c p states working for the CPU.....

 

Hope this helps

 

 

Tim

There is only one or two active USB ports when unit is asleep on the p35-ds3l mobo. Try plugging your mouse into the second from the bottom usb port next to the serial port. My machine auto sleeps and wakes with mouse movement. I do have to keep a disc in the LG BR/DVD player or unit won't auto sleep.

Hi tj5,

 

Thanks for the USB tip - good idea I'll give it a try later.

 

Still working on my P states - but making progress.

 

BTW the only kexts I have installed are fakesmc and hda for the sound.

I too, only use those two kexts. I do have speed step working but I've have a q6700 so I can't help you there. BTW, I found which usb ports were active when asleep by plugging in a usb optical mouse and when it lit the diode and (stayed lit), I knew I found the correct port(s). I also may have the bios set to wake on mouse click as well.

Good luck.

@kdawg I solved the SBUS problem. I removed the Method (_PRW) and no more kernel panics.

 

    Device (SBUS) //<-- Renamed from PX43
   {
       Name (_ADR, 0x001F0003)
       Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
       {
           Store (Package (0x02)
               {
                   "device-id", 
                   Buffer (0x04)
                   {
                       0x30, 0x3A, 0x00, 0x00
                   }
               }, Local0)
           DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
           Return (Local0)
       }

       Device (BUS0)
       {
           Name (_CID, "smbus")
           Name (_ADR, Zero)
           Device (DVL0)
           {
               Name (_ADR, 0x57)
               Name (_CID, "diagsvault")
           }
       }

       Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)  // <-- removed
       {
           Return (Package (0x02)
           {
               0x0B, 
               0x05
           })
       }
   }
}

 

Another problem: I removed OSXRestart.kext, and I get a kernel panic :D Is there something in my dsdt that requires OSXRestart?

I figured out something. In order to remove OSXRestart, I need to add Firewire:

 

Device (PCIB)

Device (FRWR) {
   Name (_ADR, 0x00070000)
   Name (_GPE, 0x1A)
   Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized){
       Store (Package (0x02){"fwports", Buffer (0x04){0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}}, Local0)
       DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
       Return (Local0)
   }
}

 

Why the hell I need firewire ? EP35-DS3L doesn't have firewire.

@ Duvel300

It still does not work. Maybe I'll try adding it to my dsdt.

 

Hi

 

I have a GA-EP35-DS3P. Asere edited my DSDT.aml a few weeks ago. My machine is running great, but boot time is longer than I would like. I would like to simplify my EXTRA folder further. I'm actually using the one in the Stellarola EP45 package. I'd like to try a different, simpler one with the newest Asere RC4. Would you mind sharing your extra folder with me? I'd like to try it. I assume you're also using Asere's latest RC4?

 

Thanks

 

Pandar

@ Master Chief & other who asked about the logo for the GA boards:

Do GigaByte users have a BIOS setting to let it show a custom boot logo (instead of the usual text messages)?
for gigabyte 600 * 480

 

for asus : higher 800 * 600

 

 

I have never tried that program, but according to programs documentation 640*480, 256 colors BMP file seems to be the only option.

 

 

Great feature! Could you make also default gray logo on the gray background like at Mac OS X startup screen?

 

I'm using this right now:

 

Snow Leopard Gray Apple on Grey with Options, hold the bling ...

Apple%20Boot%20No%20Swirly640by480withOptions.png

NOTE: ^^^^^^ This web page image displayed above is the png version - so that it's visible in the post - just for window dressing - dont use it for flashing... instead of that ...

 

Download the equivalent 256 color (8 bit color) BMP image below VVVVVVVV

GREAT !

But i have the problem that the setup (install) checks Mainboard and my Fusion (virtual) sure isnt Gigabyte !

Can someone upload the installed folder (zipped) of the app ? I think then it will run.

Sure i didnt want to flash within FUSION ( i will use Qflash).

if someone may include that nice bmp within my EP35DS3_5a Bios it would be nice. (iceguy AT freenet.de for return)

EP35DS3_5a.zip

Ok. On my 17" pretty good.

 

mitch_de, the program can only flash bios with image. Or save bios from motherboard to disk, or use bios from disk... But I can't save bios with logo included ;)

 

so we wont see the verifying pool data text etc.. when we use this logo?

 

how does it look on your 17? not sure if this will work on my 23 but if it's not much of a trouble mind uploading a video ;)

Well, if you use face_wizard then it just replaces the stock Gigabyte graphic that you see for 3-4 seconds (if you don't have it disabled).

I still see the normal boot process otherwise.

 

When I made the image, I stuck to the 640x480 8-bit (256 color) format that I'd seen mentioned. Very easy using GIMP. I'm not sure how one would go about sizing it up for a monitor that had a height:width ratio that was very different.

I tried modifying the one a few pages back with a black background and a white apple. The image just got all pixelated and looked so bad. And I mean really really bad hahah. I am back just seeing text now.

 

 

Talking about Bios's, SMBIOS does not load if I have the quickboot feature turned on...

 

EP45-UD3P Rev1.6 latest bios FD, interesting I am pretty sure this feature was only introduced in this bios and there are only 3 bios versions that exist for v1.6, I can't vouch for other revisions! This really is quite annoying because the bios on this machine is so long. I kinka think, give me a break man /// what gives ...

I have the same behavior. I dropped a line at Asere's Bootloader forum about the issue. Perhaps it's worth another mention but I don't know hoe high on their priority list it is. They seem pretty busy.

The fewer and simpler the colors, the better.

Complex shading and color gradations don't come out very well at all.

640x480 & 8-bit color depth kind of limits the options & quality of the image, I guess
