bobs Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi bobs You can use the "standard" DSDT 3.14 or better follow the instruction in this page for dump the "code" for you processor after that you post here and we can make a specific DSDT for you class processors. HOW DUMP ACPI TABLES Fabio Thanks Fabio dump.zip attached, hope this helps, I tried the standard dsdt 3.14 but it wouldn't boot. Maybe to do with my using efi string for my two graphics cards?

Maybe to do with my using efi string for my two graphics cards? Bobs THX I prepare it... For now if you have 2 GFX use the 3.21 for the i7 965... (for now you just lost one steps .. maybe not...) OSX check the data in any case.. Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSX check the data in any case.. Fabio Fabio, Using the 3.21 for i7 965 has booted ok, but i've lost QI/CE as a result. On the plus side I'm running ~15 degrees cooler with this than I was before! Is that the speedstep working? Many thanks for you help Fabio Bobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErmaC Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 bobs try this.. (the 975 is little complicated ) I w8 for report... for the GFX part we try resolve 1 problem at time... Other thing you need change your 4800 QPI link... with 7200 ?? (same things for 965 - 960) <key>SMbusspeed</key> <string>4800</string> // <-- this is ok for 920 - 930 - 940 - 950 -960 // 6400 = 965 - 975 - 980x Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgobe Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 920-960 = 4800 965 and up = 6400 This is a good link for all Intel processors information http://ark.intel.com/ Just start typing in the search box near the top right.

Booting up fine with this 975 dsdt.aml, although temperatures back up to ~60 again, plus no QI/CE - can't tell the difference between this and the 965 dsdt - what should I be looking for? I tried with the smbusspeed at 7200 and 6400 - can't tell the difference here either. My apologies for my noobishess. I'll be very happy to donate something to who/whatever, let me know Cheers, Bobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protivakid Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Using the latest boot cd as well as trying -x -GraphicsEnabler=n and arch=i386 still have the same problem. The snow leopard disc begins to boot then after all the text is done loading the screen goes blank completely. I have two GTX 280's with an SLI cable connected though since SLI is not enabled on a hardware level this should not matter. Any ideas? No one else having this problem?

Fabio Hey there, I use EFI strings because I have two different graphics cards (have updated sig) and this seemed to be the only way to get them to work together ( and that took weeks of head scratching) What's odd is that I went back to my original DSDT.aml to check that QI/CE was still working with that one and the temperature has dropped down to ~45. Temperature going at ~60 was what has led me to investigate my setup thinking something is not right. It's never been this low before (apart from trying the 3.2 965 dsdt). The only other thing I've changed is that I'm no using the smbios.plist from the bundle at the top of this thread, as this had the smbusspeed in and my old one didn't. I guess I'm in way over my head now! thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some difference relate with change in the DSDT but is hard to find.. (I start modify the DSDT in november 2009... so very hard refind the step I do) Post your IOREG and I add GFX data like EFI STRINGS in this last working personal DSDT for your i7 975.

That 3.3 beta wouldn't boot, got to the point just before logging in before showing me the "please restart your machine" graphic. Can't find anything obvious in the logs.

ErmaC Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 hi Robin... Update your bootloader with Chameleon 2 RC5pre8 --> here After this make sure you have no EFI strings for your two GFX in the com.Apple.Boot.plist and is present the strings with the key for GraphicsEnabler The DSDT won't boot because there is a GFX problem with your 8400 gs (probably) Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CPU i7 975 is exit near november 2009 the first i7 CPU Intel sell was 920 / 940 / 965 Your mobo and in this specific case the BIOS of your mobo (0406) "not support" this CPU Maybe this cause some kind of issue... If this still unresolved I make a DSDT M2.5 for the i7 975... but I say before is (for me) softhing related your old BIOS.. Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ic0nic Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 iFabio -- please help! My problem is related to Robin's above. I have dual GTX275's in my system with P6T deluxe V2 and i7 920. I've managed to install snow leopard with one card, I've also managed to get that one card functioning perfectly with DSDT only (dual screen, QE/QI). My problems start when I insert the second card -- I have nothing but a blank screen. I've made sure (several times) that I have selected the correct card slots for each card, I've also made sure that the information within the DSDT file for each card is complete and correct, as far as I can tell. EFI strings dont work either, I tried using Aquamacs dual gfx efi method but no dice. Please... Any suggestions to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated!
