No, I was wondering if you would download that file for me, and PM me with a rapidshare address, the translation is blocking me for getting past the user agreement forum.

As I was hoping there is something in the file that would be some use to me.

thanks,

Got an interesting dliemma here for this one:

 

 

This is an Acer Aspire One. I'm currently perfectly compatible, except for one thing: hyperthreading on the 1.6Ghz Atom. Right now the only way to start vanilla is to add cpus=1 to the kernel flags.

 

This is the bios: v3305 from Acer.

 

Currently works great, however, just 1 core though.

Okay, thanks.

Maybe you will have better luck than me.

I'll get it posted in the morning, as I'm off to bed for now.

 

You can try this, but I'm tired, and I'm sure it will give a acpi error, but never know, could work for you.

http://rapidshare.com/files/154453639/Open...5.kext.rar.html

 

But let me look over it again in the morning if it don't work, as I can not use getDSDT on my machine, so Like I said you might have better luck :)

Hi, friends.

 

Somebody, please, HELP! I really don't know what to do and even what to think!!! My previous request was here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...505&st=960# . BUT situation changed again... I installed 4 Gb RAM (2x2) into my Toshi... And after that SOUND COMPLETELY STOP WORKING (BIOS is the same)!!! But Sleep is now functioning in Mac. Can someone correct BIOS to get my sound and ACPI work correctly.

 

Thanks for reply.

 

With great respect, jazzminos.

The bad news is that it didn't work on the vanilla kernel.

 

 

However, with the new Voodoo 9.5 beta 2c kernel, Hyperthreading is working perfectly with this patch installed :D

 

 

Thanks for all your help.

Hello everyone.

 

I just installed Leo on my computer, which is based on MSI-P35 NEO-FI. I'm a little bit confused about flashing the bios. Is it safe to do this, and can I still use Windows (vista and xp) normally? How big is the risk that my mobo will be unusable, I really cannot afford a new mother board right now... In case that flashing goes wrong, is there anything that can be done?

And to question two: How is the flashing done? My PC doesn't have a floppy drive, so is it possible to use CD or usb-memory stick, or is flashing done trough windows?

 

Thanks in advance :)

I'm sorry, I forgot to do that.

Have you tried changing it from IDE to ACHI? that fixed my problem with the jmicron, I have a P43 board.

 

Hmm cannot change IDE to ACHI there is no such option in BIOS there is only "enable/disable" in IDE controller settings, i do have however option "PCI Legacy IDE" witch i dont know what it does ;)

Yes you can use WinXP and Vista normally after this fix, DSDT mod does not change anything regarding stability of motherboard so its same as you now have, i have atm Overclocked my E7200 to 3.6Ghz and memory to 1066Mhz (4-4-4-12) and havent seen stability issues with this bios, exept that i dont really like this mobo, P35 Neo-FI have worst power management regarding overlocking, 3phases analog PWM is not enought :/

 

You need Live Updater 3, it comes with BIOS flashing tools, browse Live Updater 3 installation folder and go to FlashUty/AMI/AFUWIN folder and then flash bios with it. I got my self P35 Neo-FI so i can say it works if you use same bios as i do, as long as your pc dont crash when flashing then your safe with updating bios this way (disable overclocks, go for max stability doring bios update), and DO NOT POWER OFF YOUR PC Doring bios update even if it "hangs" this because windows can hang temporarily when updating bios, it will recover from that hang after update done.

 

Download bios from macnuts website (MS-7360 MSI P35 Neo-F/FI)

 

Btw are you from finland?

Anyway you could make a step by step log as to what you did and how you did it?

Could you link the new kernel, or the forums?

Also, did you try the Kernel with out the OpenDSDT.kext? I don't want to give everyone false hope, as the Kernel is likely well wrote. but, combined, may very well solve minor issues in the ACPI and how OSX translate with it.

 

 

@ Everyone Else

 

This will be very helpful to those that I can't mod the bios, Oddly, no matter how hard I try, I can't get a getdsdt dump, I'm thinking it's becuase my bios uses the .aml inside ( 10 ) and not the 1B.

Would anyone that I can't mod the bios, try to dump there DSDT with getdsdt & Try the new voodoo 9.5 beta 2c kernel?

 

Please let me know, as there is alot of user out there stuck with 1 cpu

thanks,

omn

Okay, I flashed the bios and it went trough ok, but now when i turn my computer on, it says "CMOS Checksum Bad

Press F1 to Run SETUP

Press F2 to load default values and continue"

 

I tried resetting CMOS but no change. What should I do? :S I still can boot to windows with default values.

Reset CMOS, hit F1, Save bios settings and reboot, should fix it

 

Had it too after update and got it working after doing that thing, resetting CMOS completly (remove battery, move cmos jumper to clear cmos position, move cmos jumper back to working position, put battery back in, boot, hit f1, save bios settings, boot)

Doesn't help, after reboot it always says the same.

 

When flashing, should I have selected "program all blocks"? Should I try re-flashing?

 

EDIT: ok, i try removing battery, if doesn't help i flash the original rom back. Well, where do I get the original rom? :P

No prob, if anything, here is the dsdt.dat from getdsdt, not sure how to break it down using iasl though.

 

This is what you need for OpenDSDT right?

 

http://www.zshare.net/download/2061384533479219/

 

To be honest, this works great, as I can open it directly with hex, and dump it into a File to work with.

For anyone else, don't worry about dumping with iasl, or asl. I can handle it from here, just get the .dat file from getdsdt :)

 

hi,

 

here the dsdt of my laptop, i would be happy to test your kextsolution and give you reports.

 

Can you just get me a dsdt dump with getdsdt? The DSDT dump you post I can't open with any of my programs, also after looking at it with hex, I'm not sure if this is a dsdt dump of the acpi?

anyways, can you try getdsdt for me, and hoping you can try the voodoo kernel as well.

 

Please Mod this bios for me

 

Intel G33

 

thanks in advance,

 

Angel

 

this forum rules

 

 

Sorry, I can't open up the bios :)

Can you try getdsdt, and up the .dat file?

Hoping this will work for you as well :)

 

Hi. I have a very serious problem with my Toshiba P100-257. I tried to activate my Conexant sound chip. Finally I got my sound working (speakers+headphones). This happened when I used a modded BIOS from P105-S6024 BIOS 4.00 (working on a P105-S6014). This model is practically the same as mine. But it has a fingerprint reader. But the problem is that I got 2 unknown devices in Windows and my sleep function doesn't work both in Leo and in Win. It seems that there are problems with ACPI. Can You help me to correct my BIOS to get my sleep work. Whitehorse solved this problem with Toshiba P100-253. His model is identical to mine. But it seems that he is out of this forum and he doesn't reply privat messages. He also forgot to upload his modded BIOS anywhere :D

 

This is the post where he wrote his method http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...&pid=840090 .

Thanks beforehands for help.

 

With great respect, jazzminos.

 

I can't open the bios, though I know I'm sounding like a broken record at this point.

Will you try getDSDT and post the .dat file here for me?

 

Hi!

 

Can't start without cpis=1 flag on Acer Aspire 5670. Help me please!!

 

BIOS: ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/asp...0/bios/3234.zip

 

CPU: Intel Core Duo T2400 1.8 Ghz

CHIPSET: Intel i945PM Express

GRAPHICS: ATI Mobility™ Radeon® X1600 256 Мб (working)

 

BIG THX!!!

 

I'm very sorry, But I can edit this bios, though in Phoenix BIOS Editor it gives me a error, unable to write to temp file.

If there is anyone that knows how to solve this problem in vista, I would be very grateful.

For now, could you try and dump the dsdt with getdsdt for me? as you might have luck with the Voodoo kernel and a opendsdt.kext mod as well.

 

Thanks,

-OMN

What I did is add it with kext helper.

 

It still doesn't want to boot normally though, you still need to identify cpuis=2 and -legacy for it to work still. Oddly, its identified as a Core Solo, but Activity Monitor shows 2 cores working.

So does the kernel work with out the opendsdt? or Do you need the opendsdt acpi patch? Would you mind checking?

Do you have to use the -legacy flag? have you tried it with just the -legacy flag?

Sorry for all the questions, but this will help me fully understand what is being done to boot the 2 CPU's.

I'll check the ACPI opendsdt patch I made again. and see If I missed anything.

Thanks,

-OMN

 

*EDIT1*

 

Give me 2 minutes and I'll have another one for you to try out. ;)

 

*EDIT2*

Well, shoot.

 

The website you up loaded the dsdt.dat file is not letting me download it now.

any chance you can up it to rapidshare?
