Modified BIOS to get all cores working, For ASUS/MSI (and some other) laptops.. Options

[maukku]

Now it seems working, I flashed it again with all blocks. Thanks to both of you

Glad we could help.

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

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

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,

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?

i'm willing to do test with opendsdt.kext, i did upload my dsdt.dat on page 54 with the name nx7400.rar

i did extract it with registrar registry manager in binary format.

Okay, can I just get the straight dump of the dsdt.dat file? Not sure why, but I can't open your first file, as iasl say it's not a valid ACPI header. Does it give you options on how to dump the file, as I said, I can't use the getdsdt.
Can you use anything other than a binary dump? as I tried to convert it to a readable hex value, but came corrupted.

[jazzminos]

Thank You very much for paying attention to my request! I can't find dsdt for my model here http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php?...acturer=Toshiba . But I found an original dsdt of P100-253. This model is COMPLETELY IDENTICAL to mine (253 & 257 both are PSPA0E). CPU speed seems to be the ONLY difference. Here's the post where Whitehorse gave the link http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...3674&st=60# . Archive contains original 4.30 dsdt.dat and his modified dsdt.dsl (direct link http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...t&id=31902). In fact the whole topic http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=113674 is dedicated to the solvation of Toshiba P100|105 Conexant sound chip & ACPI through BIOS modification. The problem seems to be solved partly... In the end of the topic are my posts about what I did to make my sound work. Here's a package that BugsB made for people who is about to modify BIOS http://www.mediafire.com/?yywjg9jmmm1. Here's the interesting link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/su...-series-531575/.

OriginalMACNUT, can You explain WHY my sound disappeared (and Sleep SUDDENLY began to work) just after I changed RAM (I had 512x2 and changed them to 2Gbx2)? The BIOS (I used this one P105-S6024 BIOS 4.00 is the same. What has changed?

Hope You'll be able to help me with my sound|ACPI troubles.

Thanks.

There are errors in the DSDT, though this is another bios that I can open and even edit, I can't rebuild the rom till I get past Phoenix Bios Editor error, ( Unable to write to temp file, ASL error )
Till I can find how to fix this problem, I'm not able to do anything, but extract the DSDT and that it. I'm guess, but It might be how the acpi is handling the new memory to cause the issue.

I attached a picture showing the dsdt error with in the table.
I'm hoping somebody can help me fix the unable to write to temp file, or give me a link, as I've not been able to solve this problem.

i didn't see your reply so i did use getdsdt, and indeed, the file i get is totally different even if the size is the same.

thanks in advance, this is the most annoying thing on my laptop, the rest has been fixed slowly but surely by different members of the community.

How can I help You to solve the problem? In previous posts I tried to collect all the valueable information and links (tools etc) on this problem. Maybe Kabyl will help us. I suppose that he made the first modded P100 BIOS. Have You downloaded this tools set - http://www.mediafire.com/?yywjg9jmmm1 ?

hey! forgot about me?
where to find HPET????
how to put the original package?

Okay, try this, but you may aslo need the Voodoo 9.5 beta 2c kernel as well, still needing feedback if the kernel solves the problem, or the new kernel plus the opendsdt patch solves the problem.
You might look over the Commands that theultimo had posted.

Please let me know the results
thanks,

No, I didn't forget about you. Have you tired a different kernel?
as for the HPET, it's not built into your bios

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.

If this is the only way for it to boot, and no problems occur, I would just set the boot flag ( cpus=2 and -legacy ) in the com.apple.boot ( don't think thats correct name, but I hope you know what I'm trying to say ) so you don't have to type this every time

D/l it now, I had missed your post, sorry about that.
I hope Kabyl can shed some light on this, though I think he's still mad at me, he's way smarter than me and what I've learn so far was by reading, and for the stuff I can't figure out, I studied his modded rom and learned the rest.

However, this problem with these rom are driving me nuts because I have nothing to go off of.
@jazzminos,
Thank you. I can now Mod .wph with PBE those instructions are great.
