OEM means dumped from linux?
yes, and more specifically untouched/unedited.

I did not find what I was hoping to find :D But I found it on FADT: It seems like your duty-width=0 and I did a quick mistake (being the noob I always used to be) making your machine hang instead of going w/o t-states. sorry!

 

Actually, it is there since i'm using speedstep
what do u mean ? speedstep is not turbo! now that's weird! does your system hang when u move the mouse pointer ?

p.s: von dein "nickname" aus, ich vermute dass du deutsch sprichst. Du kannst dann ruhig auf deutsch schreiben.

Still stop in the same place with generatetstates.

 

Maybe just load that ssdt tables on boot?

does it show a message like "T-States: Unsupported CPU !!!" ? does it reboot instantly or just hangs there ? sorry, I should have asked u this before.

@Valv, I tried the latest version alongside with the smbios changes you'd suggested. So far, it seems fine. However, it seems to me that booting process takes more time after every bootloader update.

 

After 5.0.6 and above, I again started to see the following message. it doesn't affect the functionality but here it is.

Not loading kext com.apple.driver.ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin - not found and kextd not available in early boot.

I see 

Waiting for DSMOS...

message appear, which as you may remember had disappeared after modifying Legacy ACPI kext with dependencies. I am still using ACPI.

AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: initialization complete and NVDANV50HAL loaded and registered take more time to load.

 

Anything else you want me to test?

dear, u can fix this by rebuilding kernel caches:

sudo -s
chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions

i hope i'm in the right place for asking,

i saw there is a support for radeon 5400 card

 

will it be worth trying with HD 5450? i'm asking cause i want to buy a new card in the next couple of days, so i thought it will be worth asking before buying, should i buy a NVidia card or try with the radeon i already have?

thanks for any help

u can test kabyl's bootloader. It is known to support most of ati cards. I can also try to add support for it relying on kabyl's latest additions. Other than that, I can only suggest to stick with the more compatible to real mac components and/or to the cheapest.

 

Not apple but MUC!

Here it is, but not sure it's always right info...shouldn't min freq be like 800MHz?:

cpu.txt.zip

this happens on real mac also. nothing to worry about, really.

Wow, I never imagined that it could be related to caches as I hadn't made any changes recently in terms of kexts. So this means that since AnVaL always tries to do some magic with ACPI, it is better to repair permission after every update. Lesson learned.

 

Now, booting process seems fine and faster.

Plus your VoodooHDA. No more audio related errors too :)

yaa i think i will buy a new nvidia gt 240 i saw it's very compatible, and i have a friend now in us can get me things half price from here locally so i will buy and send this freaking ati one to my sisters windows PC lol ;)

 

thanks anyway good to know that even if it will support it's will not be as compared to a "like mac" graphics card

to valv : Can you explain how the smbios patch things work ?

By how AI does your bootloader takes one of the MacModells (i have fixed smbios.plist with iMac11,1, but not all values like yours iMac11,1 modell) which are listed in the source code?

How does it handle if some of the values are already in smbios.plist and some not (would add them, makes nothing)?

 

Here all code definitions of that section:

@wojnar0,

what I would like to suggest:

  • boot with this key in your capb
    <key>UpdateACPI</key>
    <string>Yes</string>
  • when on desktop, dump your FADT and place it at your Extra folder (where u did put dsdt...)
  • now add this to your capb
    <key>FADT</key>
    <string>/Extra/FADT.aml</string>
  • reboot with GenerateTStates (on capb)

@mitch_de,

I think your post resumes itself to one question:

How does it handle if some of the values are already in smbios.plist and some not (would add them, makes nothing)?
If a value already exists on the smbios.plist file, it would not be overridden. If it doesn't exist, it would be added.

btw, I know my code and don't see the point of posting it here :)

I know this is a bit off-topic (pretty much in fact) but could you please help me with something? What is this com.apple.boot.[P/R/S] thing I keep seeing in the source code?

 

Merry Christmas everyone and Tschüs!

Merry Christmas everyone and Tschüs!

This was inherited from meklort. as of his comment about it:
	This is a simple rock - paper scissors algo. R beats S, P beats R, S beats P
...This should be change to something else (say, timestamp?)

as of my understanding, it loads Extensions/kernel... from boot helper partitions (rd/bt...). To be honest I never had time to get deeper into this.

 

Oh, and happy xmas to u/all too

 

Dear valv i tryied your bootloader for ati 4650 mobility but when i try to boot it restart my pc continuously
could u provide me with your com.apple.boot.plist file

Hi, valv!

 

I've tested the 5.0.8 version with my ATi Radeon HD4650, but, when finish the boot, I got the 'black screen', for VGA and DVI ports. By verbose boot, the system recognize the card (device on slot, slot-1), but don't do the login (or go to MESA screen).

 

What can I do? :)

 

 

Merry Xmas! :P
