genzai Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Apple never shipped anything with a Core 2 Quad CPU. Having your CPU identified as a quad core Xeon is better for compatibility, some apps will refuse to install/run at all if they don't see a CPU type that Apple use. Ah yes i suspected that might be the case, but thought there were some imacs released with quad core. That explains that. So i guess the only issue with cpu identification is on system 1 where it does not identify the core i3-530. If there is no exact match i guess having it identifies as a core i5 would be better than unknown? Thanks, g\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genzai Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hello all, many thanks for the continued work. some very cool features in these releases. I went ahead and installed rev411 on a fourth system and it went very very well! System 4: Asus P6T7 WS Super Computer (yes, thats the real name - its an x58 chipset), i7-920 OC to 4ghz. Only fakesmc, ioahciblockstorage, and legacyhda in /E/E Well it seems everything works great on this system - CPU is identified correctly as i7. - All speeds are correctly reported. CPU, QPI and RAM. - Pstates worked before and after update (i am not even using the c.a.b.p tags on this system) - I have not tested sleep but will report back on this - stripped down the smbios.plist and it looks good with system identified as macpro4,1 So on this system it looks like a total success. I seek some clarification from someone in the know. As it seems P states work natively on i7 systems, what about C states? Should i be seeing these as well in ioreg? do i need to enable them using the c.a.b.p tag GenerateCStates? i ask because i am not seeing Cstates on either system 1 (i3) or system 4 (i7). i am using the c.a.b.p tags on system 1 but not on system 4.

ErmaC Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi all. Just a curiosity... I use 5 extra tables (SSDT), so DSDT,SSDT,SSDT-1,SSDT-2,SSDT-3,SSDT-4... ok until now... but why in the boot log I see it load two time? Same for the Restart Fix applied... is normal?? Of course..

Zerojojo Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi, this project sounds awesome. I have a already running setup with the Extra folder on the hidden EFI partition what would happen, if I just ran the installer? Would it override the boot process from the EFI partition and create a new setup on my main HD? Would it suffice to just extract the boot file from the package and put it in my existing Extra folder or is there more to the package? And do I still need the CPUPowermanagementDisabler kext when using this version? Sorry, but I'm not that knowledgeable about this stuff. Thank you for your help. I love this project and the energy that is put into it. You guys are amazing. Regards Johannes from Munich, Bavaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the installer to install chameleon on the drive and copy you /Extra contents in the /Extra folder on the usb. be shure to have correct permissoin in the /Extra/Extensions folder with kext utility (just drag the folder on the icon of the app). And then reboot from the usb (you need to check your bios or use something like F8 on some mobo to se the boot drive list of your bios). For CPUPower just try with and without starting in verbose to see if there are erros at boot. I love you man work great I haven't done anything, all the love goes to all the chameleon staff thank's guys! Hello all,many thanks for the continued work. some very cool features in these releases.

And without it you wont get that error message.

genzai Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Also one more issue that i would like to add since this is a good dev thread. I have posted this in voodooprojects forum as well and had many people confirm the issue. All versions of chameleon i have ever tried run very, very slow on i7 machines (i3 too). the countdown goes very slowly (set to 3 seconds but easily >10 seconds); there is lag on all keybaord input, etc. The worst is when you use -f -v and have to sit through several minutes of kexts appearing one after the other on the screen. This command combination usually flies by on non core ix machines. On every core 2 system i have used the interface is snappy. Do we know why this is happening?
