My hack is working absolutely fine thanks to all. But I notice a little bug when a start windows 7 with Chameleon 2 RC5 rev. 629 . Suspend mode stop working in windows.

 

My windows 7 install is in my second hard drive and when I hit f8 in boot screen and choose to boot directly from It windows 7 suspend mode just works fine.

 

 

Hope anyone can help with It.

 

System specs in my signature

 

Thanks,

PiSToL

No need, just use one of the kexts that does the same thing.

 

One is named LegacyRTC or something.

 

Alternatively, you could manually specify the appropriate DSDT to load at boot, depending on which system you're booting.

I don't remember what the syntax is though. Probably something like DSDT=system1.aml

I have installed the new boot loader on my AMD machine, but now I can't boot :-(

I think it must be a solution to fix this :-)

 

Or is the only way to fix this to make a new installation of the OS ?

 

I have attached a photo what's going on when booting, after "press any key to continue...." it's just reboots :-(

 

Help

 

EDIT

 

I have try to boot with -x , but with no luck

 

EDIT 2

 

I have made a new installation of the OS, it's looks like this boot loader don't like AMD

 

 

//Peter

 

 

got the same issue, im on AMD too, can anyone explain how to make this work on AMD, please

Has the ATI 5XXX code been added to any branch of chameleon yet?

 

It has but for my HD 5770 the default framebuffer is Motmot and with this I get no HDMI audio and all ports are mirrored.

 

AtiFb=XXXXXXXX does not seem to be working as boot flag so I've had to edit ati.c changing framebuffer for 0x100268B8 from Motmot to Vervet.

Are we talking about Kabyl or mozodojo boot file? :wub:

argh :/ rev 631 compiled; P-States seems proper than before. Unfortunately my XFX5870 freeze the boot sequence (the fan spins like hell).

 

search your GPU device id in ati.c (in format 0x1002xxxx) and check a.) its there (I think it is but at work now so cant check.) b.) which famebuffer is set.

 

If you know which FB works for you then you can change it accordingly.

 

Would be really nice to be able to set the framebuffer with a boot flag :)

My card works with Uakari Fb mate, i just wonder if Kabyl's branch is merged. I guess no though. You tried UseAtiROM btw?

 

I could be wrong but I think it is Kabyls branch only the default framebuffers are different and AtiFb flag isn't implimented.

 

I'm sure one of the chameleon team can answer fo' sho'.

 

Not tried Use ATi rom as it is reading from VBIOS just fine!

Chameleon dev's - can I ask about HDACodec= (commit 610 and 611).

Is this working and if so for which codecs?

 

Edit - Sorry just used my eyes! "Currently disabled untill I add a way for either detection of a codec"

 

Cheers

Howdy,

 

 

Alright, same here 10026898 is Motmot by default, i am currently changing it to Uakari (finger crossed).

 

EDIT: unsuccessful with VBIOS reading :P

EDIT2: success with ROM reading in E/E (not the best method but the HD is running at least)

Hi,

 

Im almost running my HP8710W laptop without any problems except one annoying thing.

 

My FSB isn't correctly notices by the bootloader.

 

The FSB is recognized as 183Mhz instead of the supposed 200Mhz.

Tried the AnV bootloader too, multiplier is incorect but the FSB is fine at 200Mhz. Problem with cracky audio appears with this bootloader.

 

See the output van the new Chameleon RC5 boot process:

 

Hope you can help me or have some good tips Thx.

 

Does it have something to do with the Dynamic Acceleration feature of the T7700 ?

:D

 

This site never ceases to amaze me. Just want to shout out some huge thanks to the geniuses on this thread - I just checked out the latest chameleon trunk, built it, plugged it in, and enabled P and C state generation (and dropped SSDT). Everything works flawlessly - including

  • native power management
  • NATIVE sleep - got rid of sleepenabler at long last
  • cpu detection (mine is a core 2 duo)
  • memory detection

 

I was even able to get things running optimally by picking the correct macbook pro model that had my CPU back in 2007 in smbios.plist - as soon as I stepped down from a MacBookPro4,1 to a MacBookPro3,1 things started humming. All this by simply reading and doing a little thinking.

 

thanks thanks thanks thanks. :(

u should try latest version (also try to fix the multiplier with appropriate key)

p.s: again this is not AnV boot loader; but I think we know what u meant by this :(

Thanx for replying. I found and used the latest version from 13 july 2010 found at:

 

http://www.darwinx86.net/forum/60-english-...55-introduction

 

This version detects the FSB right. Multiplier is incorrect. Can you confirm the following please ?

 

Is this the latest version ?

 

If Chameleon is installed, is a copy of just boot enough to try all functions of your bootloader ?

 

Do you know if the T7700 is correctly detected by your bootloader because it supports Dynamic Accelaration. This means that one core can run on 1 step higher multiplier while lowering the MP of the other core.

 

What do you mean with "(also try to fix the multiplier with appropriate key)"

 

 

 

 

Thanx for your feedback !

That's an older version. Try this topic instead.

 

Thx everything is working right now. CPU was detected with one MP setiing too much so I lowered it with MP=12

 

The only thing I have right now is that the OS sounds are cracky (Latest VooDooHDA). Playing music with iTunes is fine. The AudioChip is an Analog Devices AD 1981

 

Any ideas guys ? Sound should be working. It has something to do because an other guy who wrote an installation manual for the HP8710W made a node that a legacy kernel was necessary to correct FSB. See this link:

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=152403

 

Ludens post #13

 

His note:

System is working now, but there is a problem with a stuttering audio.

Problem is in incorrect FSB speed detection by vanilla kernel.

 

Download 10.3.0 Legacy Kernel for INTEL/AMD by qoopz/nawcom

run kernel installer legacy_kernel-10.3.0.pkg

reboot

 

My FSB is detected fine and the MP is corrected. But still have a problem with the audio.

 

Thx for replying.
