MasterLen Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Update via Software Update worked perfect. Just repair/rebuild caches after install and reboot. Kexts in /E/E: OrangeIconFix.kext, fakesmc.kext Kexts in S/L/E: RealtekR1000SL.kext reboot,sleep, well everything works. Just have to get into fixing speed steps once and for all.. Anyone who can post their macpro4,1.plist? also, do you have change values in it if you change clockspeed of cpu? edit: wooooops... not everything works. Sound is gone. I used ANARCHiNTOSH patched AppleHDA.kext with 10.6.2. worked perfect. Those who have sound on ga-ex58-ud5 after 10.6.3: what kext/solution are you using? I am using x.di method: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...6771&st=510 Works great for me without any sound assertion messages and without touching any extensions!

x.di Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hello All. Some words about my post for FireWire fix. I just relized that i missed one important thing! Method (_L0B, 0, NotSerialized) { Notify (\_SB.PCI0.HUB0, 0x02) Notify (\_SB.PCI0.HUB0.FRWR, Zero) Notify (\_SB.PWRB, 0x02) } Under Device (HUB0) Device (FRWR) { Name (_ADR, 0x00060000) // find your address in Ioreg Name (_GPE, 0x0B) Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x04) { "fwports", Buffer (0x04) { 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, "fwswappedbib", Buffer (0x04) { 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } } This code is working perfect! If You have something always plugged in one of FireWire ports. I have Apple cinema Display and it is always plugged in one of my firewire ports. For me Hot Plug works with this code because cinema Display prevents Frwr BUS to be powered off (and enter to power state 1). If I uplug and plug my cinema Display firewire then i loose hot plug and need to sleep and wake. So what the point of all this? Just use only this code Device (FRWR) { Name (_ADR, 0x00060000) // find your address in Ioreg Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x04) { "fwports", Buffer (0x04) { 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, "fwswappedbib", Buffer (0x04) { 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } } and do not add anything to Method (_L0B, 0, NotSerialized) and do not add to firewire Name (_GPE, 0x0B) ... You will have Hot Plug allways working , your firewire will be Built-in and you will get message in log "FireWire runtime power conservation disabled. (2)" THIS IS NOT ERROR it is just a message that your firewire will be allways bus powered (power state 2). So don't worry about this P.S. on my Mac Pro 3.1 I have this message in log... localhost kernel[0]: FireWire runtime power conservation disabled. (2) localhost kernel[0]: FireWire (OHCI) TI ID 823f built-in now active, GUID 001f5bfffe13f6d6; max speed s800. SO RELAX AND BE COOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elitee Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Before I go and attempt to make the DSDT, does anyone already have a DSDT with power management for the GA-X58A-UD3R (F5) with an i7-930? Or even a 920, I can't seem to find one already made, and I can just tweak the CPU {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x.di Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I wonder if that would interfere with auto-sleep. Nope. The problem with auto-sleep causes ethernet driver RealtekSL which is not native for apple. I inserted pci network card RTL8169 (10$), disabled onboard network and removed RealtekSL kext and YEAH! My pci network card works with vanilla apple driver and i have auto-sleep working like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpvl66 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I seem to be having problems with either temperature sensors or something to do with DSDT or power management. 10.6.2 on my GA-X58A-UD7 works quite well, with only a few kexts in /E (see my signature). At default clock (2.66), iStat reported core temperature around 41C idle. At 3.86GHz, however, the core temperatures are around 52C idle. That seemed a bit too much so I booted into Win7 and there the same idle core temps are around 38C (going up to about 62C during prime95). Does this discrepancy between Win7 & OSX temperatures make sense to anyone? I followed d00d's first post and he talks about idle temperatures around 39-41C, nowhere close to where I am (unless those were measured under Windows). AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement seems to be loading correctly during the OSX boot process in my case. Any clues or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be that W7 doesn't have as much running at idle compared to OS X?My temperature readings were made by OS X Temperature Monitor. I've noticed that the BIOS temperature alarm sounds around 10C higher than what's set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x.di Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hi all. Have some GOOD news. I was inspired by this tread http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=210994 And I patched the bios of my motherboard. It won't break anything for you. GA-EX58-Extreme (bios F12). There are no rocket math involved. Everyone can do it. I applied every fix from this tread. you don't need dsdt.aml anymore and don't need to patch anything! You will need this kexts in Extra folder: fakesmc.kext IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext (sata to internal) LegacyHDA.kext (layout-id in bios 885 and in legacy to.) com.apple.Boot.plist (it has GraphicsEnabler=Yes and PCIRootUID=1 and -pci1 options) smbios.plist (in about this mac you will see Intel Core i7 instead of Intel Xeon) Evoreboot.kext (For restrat to work. Bootloader bug. It can't patch Facp table if no dsdt.aml is present) ... PCIRootUID and -pci1 flags and Evoreboot.kext are IMPORTANT because bootloaders have bug ! Bootloaders can't determine your UID if no dsdt.aml present in extra or in root partition and can't patch Facp table for restart to work . And this two flags (PCIRootUID and -pci1 ) are just for compatiblity with different bootloaders. Hope this bugs will be fixed soon. And you will need for your network cards this RealtekR1000SL.kext (goes to /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns) And extra goodies of all this , IDLE SLEEP started to work without any "sleepwatchers" and other tools. P.S.1 Hope this will help someone . before flashing your bios read this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=210994 P.S.2 If i have free time will write a guid on how to patch any gigabyte bios. P.S.3 Files you will need EX58_EXTREME.zip P.S.4 My patched bios EX58EX.F12.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aschar1 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Short tutorial how to patch the binary of applehda - necessary if you want to use applehda.kext 10.6.3 with legacy kext and dsdt patch if you have alc888 or alc889 audio codec (not necessary if you have alc889a codec): download hexfiend Hex Editor - copy applehda 10.6.3 to your desktop - right click it - show package contents and go to the folder /Contents/MacOS then open the applehda binary file located in this folder with hexfiend for alc888 Search for 8508ec10 and replace with 8808ec10 (all 4 instances) for Alc889 Search for 8508ec10 and replace with 8908ec10 (all 4 instances) for AD2000B Search for 8B19D411 and replace with 9B98D411 (all 4 instances) Save the file and copy the binpatched applehda.kext into /System/Library/Extensions I strongly recommend running Contis fix script v. 30.0 to fix perms and clear caches before rebooting. get it at osx86.sojugarden.com/2010/03/pfix-v3-0-released/ Remember that you have to redo this if Apple releases a new applehda.kext You can download the binary patched applehda 10.63 at kexts.com too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
