well i am not sure what broke?!

 

I dont see FakeSMC in newer boot logs??? this must not be installed right?

 

1) was it the new dsdt.aml ?

2) was it the new kexts?  maybe issue as DSMOS doesn't arrive?

3) was it new clover 2133 -> 2165 ?

 

may you can replace each item - 1 at time on working configuration?

Updated posted Clover b2184 for T420 at post #397

 

  • Clover
    • minor tweaks/refinements to config.plist (e.g. dont think darkwake is needed anymore)
    • has 2 OEM configs - 1 for high-res and 1 for low-res
    • Note: recommend use of ssdt.aml if it fits your cpu - seems to get a bit more out turbo mode (get 32x at times instead of 30x with just Clover Generate P/C states)
  • Revised DSDT
    • for Shutdown hang (thanks to TimeWalker75a)
    • for native ACPIPlatform kext - no need to rollback or patch AppleACPIPlatform.kext - can use unmodified v1.8 from 10.8.5 (see notes below)
  • Kexts
    • ​Updated AppleIntelE1000e.kext
    • Updated ACPIBatterManager v1.40 
    • Updated FakeSMC
      • includes modified ACPI/Plugin Info.plist to remove DISABLED features so FAN speed shows up in HWMonitor (with stock AppleACPIPlatform.kext) 

ACPI Notes:

 

You can remove any patched/rollback AppleACPIPlatform.kext now if you like... but you may want to keep it depending on your preference based on comments below. I am still looking into this issue of course.... not sure if the problem is with the new kext or a dsdt issue.

  • the new DSDT conforms (more) to the native unmodified kexts ACPI spec... so dont have to replace the AppleACPIPlatform.kext. 
  • native AppleACPIPlatform.kext v1.8 (10.8.5) works but seems to have some issues with Power button lights after wake.
  • native AppleACPIPlatform.kext v1.7 (10.8.4) works too - but does not wake as well when you have external eSATA/USB drives. But good news as the v1.7 does not seem to have power light issue.

If you choose not to upgrade to 10.8.5, this new DSDT and the kexts will work in 10.8.4 (or older.)

the last pack (T420-UEFI-Clover-b2184_10.8.5 ) works now :)

the guilty kext was AppleACPIPlatform.kext 10.8.5 so i use AppleACPIPlatform.kext 10.8.4

 

I deleted my previous posts to make the thread clearer

 

Thanks again for this great stuff

@Tetonne

glad you got it working - you are welcome - et merci pour testing et feedback.

 

yeah, i am bit suspicious of the 10.8.5 v1.8 AppleACPIPlatform.kext myself and may rollback to the previous rev 1.7.  

 

EDIT: even with the slow blinking light problem after wake-up, v1.8 AppleACPIPlatform seems to be more reliable for me. doesn't  hang up (yet?) like it 1.7 did from time to time - with the fast flashing light when going to sleep and never waking up! 

 

IMO, 10.8.5 with new 8-bit changes in the DSDT overall has made it work better than ever.

@All

 

Haven't been on in a while. Life, you know...

 

You guys have made outstanding progress in the few weeks I haven't checked in. In the coming days, I will try to catch up with you 420 guys. Gendalo hasn't been on in a while, so I think I'll be on my own for a little while. And I see Kogen hasn't been on in a while either. I was going to ask if he could add "/430" to the thread title or maybe a mod could do it. I want to attract more 430 users to this thread. I really don't want to break it out into its own thread because the hardware is so similar and you guys have provided (although inadvertently) all the info needed to get this working for us 430 guys.

 

Just want to reiterate my appreciation for all of your work. This is really the only solid, worthwhile 430 hack resource.

In the meantime before Mavericks is GA....

 

2 things addressed in the post  #397  for 10.8.5 and T420

 

  1. There was an patch for 10.8.5 (v 12F45) today. I downloaded with App Store and update no problem ... other than it replaced AppleHDA and Bluetooth stuff. So you will need to replace those items! (latest kexts are in the zip)
  2. I added some code in the DSDT to fix the LED issue I had upon wake up. That is where the LED keeps pulsing as if it was still asleep and the moon on the lid stayed on too. now it just resets them to power light steady on and moon off.  so now i am much happier with 10.8.5 ACPI. 

 

Update 4-Oct-2013

  • Revised DSDT
    • for Shutdown hang (thanks to TimeWalker75a)
    • for native ACPIPlatform kext - no need to rollback or patch AppleACPIPlatform.kext - can use unmodified v1.8 from 10.8.5 (see notes below).
    • made a change/fix to reset LEDs upon wakeup.
  • Updated Clover to b2165 b2184
  • Updated AppleIntelE1000e.kext
  • Updated FakeSMC
  • Updated VoodooPS2Controller
  • Added Patched AICPUPM kext for Chameleon compatibility.

Tluck-
I got problems when using the vanilla AppleACPIPlatform.kext.
I extracted the kext from the 10.8.5 update using Pacifist. How do you get it?
See attached screenshot of the errors. I had these errors also the other day when I tried to use the vanilla kext.

  
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
AJ

@AJ -

 

 i got the v1.8 AppleACPIPlatoform.kext when i upgraded to 10.8.5. are you 10.8.4 or 10.8.5? The 10.8.0-10.8.4 version AppleACPIPlatoform.kext is 1.7

 

are you talking about SMC errors? i am not totally sure but what version of FakeSMC are you on?

 

are you using the new dsdt?

@Tetonne  - thanks for testing. i will put ErmaC's patched AppleACPIPlatform.kext in the 10.8.5 bundle as an option for those that need to rollback. It was/is in the 10.8.4 pack. I am not sure why i can run the vanilla kexts?  i tested the old DSDT before splitting into 8bit variables and i can run 1.7  and 1.8  - just dont get battery info. with the new dsdt i can run all 3 versions. The new v1.8 works best and seem to consistently supports esata - before it was hit or miss.  yesterday i bumped up to rehabmans FakeSMC.

I found a fix for very low input volume of the AppleHDA LineIn/ExtMic I have been always experiencing.

 

While spending quite a few hours trying to rename LineIn to ExtMic, I noticed that one of the configuration widgets in the patched version of AppleHDA had been put in the wrong section.

 

The attached file has the following patch. If you have a compatible version of AppleHDA, it should be as simple as dropping it into the appropriate location in the AppleHDA kext, reboot, and your LineIn Mic should be much louder. Otherwise, you may need to make the edits yourself to Platform.xml, and then compress it to Platform.xml.gzip using the `Script RevoGirl AppleHda.zip` from e.g. http://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2676

Also nice, is enabling Ambient noise reduction. This is done simply by copying the SignalProcessing section from Mic to LineIn, in layout12.xml

 

Finally, and somewhat related, I wrote a script to parse CodecVerbs and pretty print the output for consumption in various places. For example, you can get your ConfigData section from

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist and inspect it as follows:

Awesome. yeah i gave up too after trying for hours (days?) to get ExtMic in the config! i will incorporate into AppleHDA for 10.8.5. thanks! 

 

works great - i just dropped in. i completely forgot thats why i bought a USB headset since when i used my iPhone buds/mic the input volume was so low! just tested again it seems to be louder!

 

thanks.
