VMonHeros Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi Valv. I tried Anval on an ASUS 1201N (atom 330) with no success. I've got the system reboot automatically before loading the Kernel. I tried to boot with -v to provide you some information, but the reboot is so quick after that I cannot see anything . What can I do to help you ?

valv Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 try to boot with this: arch=i386 if u can get me some dump from linux (dmi) or windows (cpu-z, text dump though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0ck3r4ever Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hello Valv, I just tried your build. I would try to report that with graphics enabler my ati 4870 card does not work. The boot process hangs before initializing the GUI. The prompt says no Nvidia card found. I used 5.1.3_fixed. Also tried with UseATIROM but no luck. Thank you!

Azimutz Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 If I understand your opinion correctly ( ), we should leave the boot-loader give doubled values (wrong) to satisfy kernel and let it correct 'em afterwards ? this is anti-code and is non-sense to me. So I'd say that I don't understand what you meant (as am pretty sure u meant something else ) Nooo.. at most, i didn't understood the problem correctly!? Let's see; what i understood is that "your" booter is now passing the correct value (for the AMD cpu's in question) and the kernel doubles it because of the blackknight hack, right? If so, what i meant was "remove the blackknight code from the kernel and just use the value passed by the booter". If i failed to understand, please correct me About the autoresolution stuff, i'll pm you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellarola Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 AnVAL is working great for me on my pop's ASRock ION330-HT. I love the on-the-fly cpu-id patching. Thanks! Stell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPU-z Dump 1215n.txt Exactly the same issue with an Asus 1201N. I'm not alone . However I'm not able to did some dump as I've got only MacOs on this machine.

FKA Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Great ! I think 5.1.4 should be ready for the App Store I should think so ! Hay valv - I got one small issue I've just noticed with autoresolution. The GUI and verbose text is perfect but with non-verbose boot the Apple logo and spinner are squashed (4/3 in a 16/9 window.) I boot verbose most of the time so have only just noticed but I remember with earlier builds it was all good. any ideas? EDIT - I think it might have been Azimutz branch that had correct aspect for logo and spinner which i guess relates to this bdmesg_valv_5_1_3.txt p.s I don't know where you get the time/energy for all the fantastic work. Much respect! D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky frank Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hello valv, thanks for this great work. Also nice there is some vesa overriding code inside. Can you also add proper code that works for Sony laptops? Sonys have a SNC device inside that seems to activate the internal display. So only vesa mode works on the internal display but with wrong resolution. For example my Vaio F11 has 1920x1080, aspect 16:9, but shown in the loader is aspect 5:4, max. resolution 1280x1024. Is there a way to get native resolution with vesa? Someone already implemented this into chameleon it seems to me, please check this out, if it's already inside or could help you: cham native reso patch Please!

Carstiman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 hi anv, could you please check the performance of vnc ? don´t know if it is the memory detection. got sometimes vnc freezes (or just bad performance) with my broken 8800GS and my new GTS 450 can somebody else report this ? with the the trunk i don´t have this.

blackosx Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi Valv.. Well done with your continued development here and on irc recently. The future looks exciting The reason for my post today is that I was doing some theme testing in VMWare Fusion with which I normally use the Chameleon trunk cdboot file for creating my .iso for loading. However, I had your latest build, 5.1.3_fixed, on my desktop and I thought I'd test the cdboot file from it for my .iso. When trying to boot the .iso in VMWare Fusion I get the following error: Now I haven't tried booting an .iso using the cdboot file for real on my machine so I can't verify this problem in that instance, just when using in my VM.

Azimutz Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) @Azimutz, Now u got me right aah... for a moment you got me doubting of my sanity We'll see about this stuff later on... @FKA,hopefully, Azi is giving me a hand on fixing those issues with auto-resolution. Valv, check my signature for diff update; AUTORES_DEBUG is now fully working. I must say that i removed some of the debug stuff; Lebidou added some "make" configs that enabled to type "make debug" or "make autores_dbg" to compile; "make autores_dbg" is ok but "make debug" is a mess to much stuff printed to screen and repeated. Later will take a better look at this.. i need more knowledge about "make". Hay valv - I got one small issue I've just noticed with autoresolution...EDIT - I think it might have been Azimutz branch that had correct aspect for logo and spinner which i guess relates to this Correct also took me a long time to notice this because of verbose boot The AutoResolution diff i posted before, is on my sig, Chameleon->Latest trunk>Patches, if you want to follow. For example my Vaio F11 has 1920x1080, aspect 16:9, but shown in the loader is aspect 5:4, max. resolution 1280x1024. Is there a way to get native resolution with vesa? Sorry, not with the AutoResolution patch you mention and which we are talking about; it doesn't work with "Core i" series chipsets, just 800 and 900 series. The most recent chipset reported to me that works was a GS45, still belongs to 900 series according to Wikipedia. When trying to boot the .iso in VMWare Fusion I get the following error:... yep... confirmed, using the latest on repo, rev 707.

TorqueX86 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi Valv and others, I don't know if this is a known issue, but I think it'd be good if I shared it with you. I found out that my system in signature suffers a lot from enabling the C States. Here's the breakdown of the issue: At any speed, stock or overclocked, with any possible BIOS settings, at any possible CPU load, when C States are enabled, the passage from Halt state to operational generates a mini stop in the system, obviously in OSX. This produces crackling of sound, mouse cursor tiny interruptions, and several other little annoying issues. Also, I noticed that enabling C States considerably stretches OSX's loading time. The spinning wheel halts and then restarts spinning during loading several times. Sleep is also not working, even enabling C3 states specifically. Last but not least, restart and shutdown are considerably longer. Disabling C States obviously produces a higher CPU temperature which I'm not so keen of, but at least the system runs extremely smooth and fast. I also noticed that this did not occur with my previous Core 2 Quad system. It's something that popped up only after upgrading to an i7 system. I tried the main trunk, Kabyl's other than Valv's booter, which I currently use with C States disabled. All those issues are totally solved with C Stated not generated. Processor incompatibility? Any suggestions or insight? P-States are perfectly generated and produce no unwanted results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
