dan b Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Have posted a dsdt.dsl here:P5K VM dsl - c & p states + Chiefs sbus injection My dsdt has been in daily (hourly) development and this is the very latest with speed stepping, cst error fix and Chiefs sbus injection. Be very careful using this as your cpu (mine is E4500 OC'd to 2.915 MHz) & video (Nvidia 8400 gs) will be different and you could really mess things up - like fry your cpu! - better to use for reference and patch with your own hardware info. many thanks DB1.

DB1 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 DB1 could you make a dsdt for my specs (intel e8400, gf9800 gt 512mb, p5k-vm 1001 bios)? I would need a dsdt.dsl extracted from your pc to have a reasonable chance of doing this and some info about the cpu i.e. p-states using CPUi or info from someone who has same cpu and has speed stepping working. Many thanks for DB1 for posting the updated guide. Everything is now working fine. No QE though, as running chess will give me a kernel panic. I'd like to make a custom dsdt but am a little afraid to do it. Is there a detail guide somewhere to show how to do this? The other thing I'd like to have is to boot off of the HD instead of the USB stick. All the guides I've seen seem to need the HD to have a MBR partition, but my HD is already GPT. From what DB1 is saying it seems like the 18seven method would work for me, but somehow the msiwind.net forum is not working right now. Can someone post the detailed 18seven method here? Thanks much! There are a few guides about in the forum but the pace that the development is moving means there's not one guide that does it all. Best to learn the basics by reading the early stuff where the dsdt patcher was posted DSDT patcher to get an understanding then when you can extract your own you can compare with others that are posted in this thread and others. If I can find time I might do an 18seven writeup for our mobo / install. But the principles and the script over on his wind post should be enough to do whats needed only the kext set differs and thats available here.

Panos12 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 to make a dsdt.dsl file,must erase first your dsdt.aml file(which i use) from extra folder. then boot pc without any dsdt.aml file and then use dsdt patcher to make my dsdt.dsl file? Any link for cpu i to download?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do it from a Linux live CD, or use Everest Corporate Edition v5.01.1700 or higher under windows to dump the ACPI tables (DSDT, SSDT, etc).

dan b Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 thanks to DB1. i used as reference his dsdt and patched mine (clean dsdt for q6600 p5k-vm 1001 bios). all working except sleep (waked up after 1 sec). anyway, if DB1 have some time to look at my patched and unpatched .dsl files to see if something is wrong, he will help lot of ppl with q6600-p5k-vm combination. thanks in advance my gfx is 8500 GT 256mb my untouched dsl: dsdt.dsl.zip my patched dsl: dsdt.dsl.zip ps. sorry for my bad EN...

Ok have tidied it up and changed the p-states, you were lucky I managed to find the p-states thanks to Roisoft post on the speed stepping thread (you had used the ones to match my cpu). Try this and let us know: P5KVM_Q6600cpu_8500gt.zip General - Its important to note that the PSS section has to have settings suitable for your CPU otherwise you can do serious damage.

rainman01 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Please can someone post 18seven's boot method (or any other method) for installing the bootloader for booting off the GPT partition? The msiwind.net forums has been down for a number of days now so I can't get the info from there. I am also hoping to reclaim the space on the usb stick that I am boot from at the moment.

Take a look here: 18seven Method The Vanilla folder in the download is for MSI Wind so just replace the kexts with those needed for P5K VM - the important bit is the principal and the ./update.sh script.

leo333 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 BlackHC: I saw in your sig that you have your P5K-VM inside a G4 case. I have the exact same setup! Could you post some pictures to show how you handle the airflow? I always keep my case open, otherwise the CPU gets really hot (at least under OS X). If you want I can post some pictures as well, if you want to see my dirty back-panel removal Just as a status, Snow Leopard working fully here, only IDE drives don't show up. Meh, I can live without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want I can post some pictures as well, if you want to see my dirty back-panel removal Just as a status, Snow Leopard working fully here, only IDE drives don't show up. Meh, I can live without it. Such a small case; is very difficult to get a good airflow... I made a custom 'extra-slim' enclosure for the PSU and fitted above the DVD drive bay; that clears up the space on top (or on the side) the CPU. Theres two 80mm vent/fan: one on the front/botom (facing the floor) and other in the back (where the PSU out-take normally is) blowing directly towards the CPU. I will do a blow hole on the side (I know is a shame for the case) as soon as the summer returns . Another thing that helped is having CStates working; temperatures droped 15 deegres. Now idles at 40°. I'll post some pictures as soon as I find sometime to take them. But not here; we can open a thread at the Mod-overclocking section to share the pictures, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippopippo1 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi, coming from previous 10.5 installations, yesterday I installed SL on my p5k-vm using the myhack method with SL retail. software updated to 10.6.1. never used dsdt, I am using Chameleon v2.0-RC3 r658 (build date 2009-09-06) I had to work a little bit to fix the ethernet (now works) but I still have problems with Graphics (no QE) and Audio (no Audio input, no Audio output). here my data: p5k-vm Core2 Duo E6550 2,33ghz 6G ram 8500 GT 1024M BIOS 1001 could any good man provide me the correct dsdt file (will I fix the above problems with it)? many many thanks, PIPPO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a PCI Firewire card, does the dsdt do have to describe it? 3. do I have to delete all similar (with the same name) kext in my installation and copy the ones attached by You? thanks again pippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCH Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 You can get video using EFI strings... You can also use Chamelon's (or PCEFI's) graphic enabler function. If you have any card that is bundled originally with macs you can even load its EFI rom. Is what I do with my 7600GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
