NP, it is important, at least ; to understand what is going on :P

Please test this boot that will display what FSB's we detect (will give you a cpu fsb then a mem channel ratio)

and report to me these 2 values.

(to help you to write them down, the test boot below will pause:

boot_test_mch_ratio.zip

 

Thanks for reporting, because others could have the same problem, I'd like to figure that out :)

PS: if possible disable temporarily the P/C States in your com.apple.boot.plist (one problem at a time!)

 

Yeah it's weird. I am currently using the P and C States mods. Hopefully these screens can shed some light:

 

I'll try your latest version again and actually dig a little deeper to see what's going on with the increased temps, instead of quickly trying to load back up earlier version. :(

 

Sorry to confound you, Rekursor! :P

Sure thing. I'll get right on that.

 

Earlier I did a little testing with your version 9 boot and discovered that P-States were no longer working.

 

Attached screens for your reference.

 

Thanks for your hard work on this. :P

This is a shot with P-States working:

Ok. I think I may be narrowing down the cause of the problem. Using your test boot with P/C States removed from boot.plist, I get the following values you requested:

 

cpu fsb=181317000
mem channel ratio=16667

 

At the desktop, the memory is displayed correctly:

sysprof_rekursor.png

 

However, even though P/C States are disabled, I still have them active in IORegExplorer:

 

ioregrekursor.png

msrtoolsrekursor.png

 

I also noticed too that I now have 5 values listed under P-States instead of 9.

 

I'm about to disable the kext that I believe is the culprit and update you with the results. It's what i used to get C-States (found here).

Oh, your CPU FSB is 181 Mhz ... should be 200Mhz :)

Now I don't understand why yet, but I can say this is the problem because 181x1.666667x2 makes 604Mhz ...

could it be mobile cpu energy saving @ boot time ?

Also, I can now tell you that the raise of temp has nothing to do with my ratio change as this ratio was not the bogous one.

So I'll focus on my business for now and stick on mem detection :)

I'll investigate that weird CPU FSB (why we don't read 200Mhz),

Thanks !

Rekursor-

 

The good news is that your test boot (R244, I believe) now correctly reads my memory, where your boot_v9 (r237) did not.

 

The bad news (for me) is that I got to do some troubleshooting with the kext that enables "CStateOverride=True" in my IORegExplorer.

 

Thanks for your hard work. :)

 

EDIT: Oops, I see you posted while I was writing this. Disregard.

Regarding the CPU FSB, I think that may be a problem with the way OS X reads my system. I remember that I had a similar problem when I used to use VoodooPower.kext for speed stepping and it had the same issue in reading the FSB correctly. I had to change an option in the info.plist to fix it (I believe it was "UseEfiFsb").

 

Hope that helps.

 

Regards.

Thanks,

problem solved on the mem detect side then :)

hey mozodojo,

 

Just a heads up but the framebuffer that works for the HD 5770 is Vervet, I see your using motmot. Vervet gives dual display extended and HDMI out. Just thought you would want to know.I checked out your branch and made the change. I'll test out the net boot and let you know.

Just to say Chameleon rev. 238 (from the 1st post) works great, only memory serial number is not displayed yet. It reads 00000000... But i can live with this ;)

 

I would prefer downloading newer revisions from the first post, instead of compiling from the source. Would be great, i appreciate your time compiling and posting in the first post :)

 

Guys, great job, again :rolleyes:

Hi iFabio

 

I've updated the trunk with your revised translation files and new Conclusion files. Though I don't know if I will be able to make the required change to packagebuilder to incorporate the Conclusion files.

 

Regards :rolleyes:

Mozodojo's boot tried with GeneratePStates and GenerateCStates in boot.plist, without smbios.plist.

Cpu and memory well detected.

SpeedStep enabled (checked with MSRTools).

Thanks.

 

On my system memory gets detected. Manufacturer, serial number and speed is detected although mem frequency is 801 not 800 :(

 

Speedstep I'll check later as I wanted to use VoodooMonitoar but it crashed at boot time. I have to find and use msr tools.

 

Thanks for your great job!

I get a kp with GE set to yes with any version of Chameleon when running this HD 5770, i'll have to try and mess with it next weekend. keep up the great work guys :)

 

I have Gigabyte HD 5770 on EP45-UD3R and it's able to run 32/64 bit. Now, I am using Chameleon RC5 r261, got from Chameleon's trunk and changed its' name of framebuffer.

 

I got KP at 32 bit if ATY_Init.kext's in /S/L/E and my DSDT had "hda-gfx" fix. So, I got to remove ATY_Init.kext. GraphicsEnabler=Yes.

Compiled fine, but I can't boot with these latest builds. I get EBIOS read error: Error 0x01
Does nobody else have this problem ? I have never had this error before. With RC4 everything works vanilla on my P5K-E Wifi/AP. I have XP on a SATA RAID1 and Snow Leopard on a seperate SATA disk.

But I need your help [/b]for incorporating your recent chipset (I already handle lots of them)

 

if your pci host controller (id 0x600) is not in this list please report:

 

In order to check it easily use lspci (or EvoToolsX that uses it) and read the first line containing:

Host bridge [0600]

 

then copy and paste here your dev id (example: [8086:d131]) located at the end of the same line...

 

Thanks!

Hi, could someone please set me in the right direction here. I have used Linux lspci to get the below but

there does not appear to be any dev id to compare (+add if needed) with rekursor's list ??

I already posted the device id for our mobo.

 

lspci -n shows what you are looking for.

I tried boot_v222 and had my C-States and P-States generated. Coolbook shows 9 frequencies, which was 4 with legacy ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin and I can see that my CPU is throttling. But it seems that C-States are not working as I don't see CStatesOverride = True in IORegistryExplorer. So there is no major temperature decreases (2-3 degress).

I tried with and without legacy ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin, which I am using to enable P-States.

 

With this bootloader, P-States are always being shown activated in IORegistryExplorer with or without legacy ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.

 

post-562417-1280168263_thumb.jpg

 

Can anyone please tell me if I need a proper legacy ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin to enable C-States?

What am I missing? Is there anything else I should you provide you with?

Zandig,

 

I have the same mobo and i don't have such issues. Will run a test in RAID mode (have only single sata disks).

 

Bye,
