Can we get some information to know what we need to focus for in this new test version?

In the revision 2281 was introduced a boolean keyFlag to change the size of the table 17

See this closed issue http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/issues/361/

 

So one of the "focus" will be to know if this issue is also fixed w/o that key (of course who was affected)

 

Other "focus": know if the merged code cause issue.. System Profiler show correct value? bdmesg still show empty field)

So with this latest test version, I'm getting these strange empty "core" lines and "part number" is empty again. Other tables are the same as with r2346.

Is this because your version didn't get merged with Bungo's branch? Or another bug?

Try this… (In the previous was uncommented experimental field)

I hope now is ok. (this is the reason why we need test and tester)

 

2354(TEST 2) -->

 

also nyolc8 can you provide the info for your CPU (the first part of the bdmesg) from he previous test revision?

I would like to link the "experimental empty field in the correct way to show the proper info.

It worked for me - bdmesg outputs from r2352 and r2354 test 1: bdmesg r2352 + r2354.zip

I like how the output isn't crowded with empty tables anymore.

 

Here's bdmesg from test2: r2354_2.txt

I didn't look too closely but I think nothing changed.

 

For reference, here's my current smbios.plist: Gringo_smbios.plist.zip

 

I don't understand why I'm getting Core Enabled: 1 though, but this is not new.

The CPU history window in Activity Monitor shows activity on all four cores.

Same problem  :(  Also the "part number" still empty. (Btw how the date of the chameleon can be the same for both test versions? Is that normal?)

Yep is ok...

I think probably due to my setting (set as MacPro so the board type is different)

the "experimental part work for me as you see in the previous post ( 1 CPU, 4 core, 8 thread)

 

but looking at your log… some not usual data...

 

CPU: CPUFreq:                  3410MHz
CPU: NoCores/NoThreads:        4/4
CPU: Features:                 0x0000027f

----

Core Count: 4

Core Enabled: 1

Thread Count: 0

as I said those "data are experimental and don't mind nothing (ATM)

TEST 3

 

i386_v2354-TEST3.zip

 

@Gringo… I think also the CPU detection need a huge update...

4/4 is accurate for an i5-3570K but only 1 core enabled is weird. I suppose it could also be a BIOS bug?

 

bdmesg test 3 2354_3.txt

 

core count/enabled now gone.

 

(Btw how the date of the chameleon can be the same for both test versions? Is that normal?)

 

The date is the same because they were built on the same day.

 

Like two text documents that you saved the same day.. no difference.

? I don't see it… (I mean in your quote)

 

@Gringo

yep could be a "bug" in the BIOS...

I try to explain...

this data  smbios.h

provide info for the dmi table n4 and coming from the bios

the other info

CPU: Brand String: Intel® Core™ i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz

are catch from a cpu scan

(so basically 2 way to provide the same info)

OK I see it now…

 

I continue investigating…

 

I'm off now

:ihw_pop:

 

It is, look: attachicon.gifGringo_vanilla_smbios.txt

 

I did that just the other day and I already forgot lol.....

(latest dmidump, Linux Mint Live DVD)

 

yepx2

 

 

Serial Number: To Be Filled By O.E.M.

Asset Tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M.

Part Number: To Be Filled By O.E.M.

Core Count: 4

Core Enabled: 1

Characteristics:

64-bit capable

 

Handle 0x0005, DMI type 7, 19 bytes

So this confirm is some "strange" things coming from your bios

I complete and merge into main trunk code a new flag for nvidia users (commit 2359)

 

since the revision 1991 we have added the ability to assign a specific name at our Nvidia card

Example: Asus GeForce GT 240

this is also displayed in the system profiler

 

Now If there is some "nostalgic" or simply prefer the "classic" name showed in System Profiler

add NvidiaGeneric=Yes in org.chameleon.Boot.plist

Result: GeForce GT 240

Check spaces (" ") if "blank" entry (as described before). As reference use dmidecode because it's independent tool.

Where should I check for spaces? In smbios.plist? Because I don't have (and never had but I got the "not specified") any SMcpupartnumber line there. Should I make one there? Also how can I get my original smbios? I can't find any app for Windows to do an smbios dump properly.

 

 

edit: I just saw Gringo's #2026 post, I'll put that line into smbios.plist and report back.

 

edit 2: adding SMcpupartnumber into smbios.plist fixed the empty part number line problem.

;)

Finally!

So we can confirm the correct implementation?

PLS TEST: Chameleon rev 2360_TEST1 --> i386_v2360-TEST1.zip

 

This will be merged into main code.

Is the latest trunk 2359

+ Bungo's smbios patch

+ some minor changes for the output (like dmidecode… inspired on Gringo's dump from linux provided yesterday).

Thx

 

Could be possible a dmi dump from live linux distro (or if you have a linux distro on your system)?

and also a complete bdmesg from OS X?
