Please write Your install configuration... I use:
1. iAtkos 5i 10.5.5 as install DVD with:
a) EFI 9 bootloader (I install Chameleon 2 RC1 later)

Apple Decrypt
c) SMBIOSEfi MacBook Air 1.1 by ChunNanh
d) Disabler.kext
e) OpenHalt Restart. But it seems that it is needed.
f) stock kernel
g) fully stock ACPI
j) efi string for GMA950
i) Your DSDT.aml to get graphics work

2. Original 10.5.6 Combo Update.

BUT the last time I installed... My system start to fall with no root device error just after installing of IOPCFamily and IOPCIFamily. It says that there is error with ACPIPCI.

And I can't understand Chameleon options... Do we need to change something? Do we need to to use South Bridge kexts?

With great respect, jazzminos.

Kalyway 10.5.1 + Apple 10.5.6 Combo Update & Apple 10.5.7 Combo Update

IOPCIFamily.kext + IOPCCardFamily.kext + Disabler.kext
VoodooPower.kext + VoodooBatter.kext

Chameleon 2.0 rc1 + DSDT.aml

I think I have SMBIOS kext changed - not sure though.

Only problem I have nowadays is that I've lost sleep functionality.

Hi guys,

I've found this little guide to enable devices using retail drivers. It involves messing with DSDT but might be worth to try. I haven't check if that would work with 0x14f15047 but you never know...

Here is the link:

Hi, Mentorek. I'd like to ask You if You can pack with zip or rar and upload Your Extensions and Extra folders from 10.5.7. This will help me to find out what is wrong with my system... with my fans.

Thanks beforehands.

With great respect, jazzminos.

Hi... I suppose that it is possible to change the sensors info in i8k driver kext. Here is the source code: http://i8kfan.googlecode.com/files/I8kfan_....0d1-source.zip . And here's my P100 sensors info... If we can find an experienced coder...

Do You have any ideas on this?

With great respect, jazzminos.

Hi Jazzminos,

These are my Extensions: http://rapidshare.com/files/242368270/Extensions.rar

Check them out, hopefully it will work for you properly.

I've installed Your extensions... Now there is no boot device... Do You use Chameleon 2 bootloader? Share Your Extra folder, please. It seems that I lost some ATA driver.

jazzminos

Jun 9 2009, 03:55 PM

It seems that it works! I can hear my fans... But the boot process is somewhat strange... At first system says that it can't find the root device... Then it say something about Bluetooth... Then after 15-20 seconds it begins to boot from HDD... Very strange. My previous configuration boot was MUCH faster. I also found significant defferences between my and yours Extensions... A lot of kexts have different sizes... There some kexts that I didn't have in my folder. Why do You use Disabler.kext... As I understand we don't need it as long as we use DSDT Override... You didn't delete Don't Steal MacOSX.kext... Questions

Please, share Your Extra folder... I think that when I use it my boot will be faster...

Thanks... I'm not sure that this was successful... I need to test further.

AND I get some problems with VoodooPower... Now it recognizes my LOWES CPU frequency as 1600MHz instead of 800MHz... That is a problem... I have CoreDuo 1.73.

With great respect, jazzminos.

Hmm... glad to see that your fans are spinning now.

As for all the extensions, those are messy because I've used Kalyway 10.5.1 as base and had installed at least 10.5.6 and 10.5.7. It's quite old installation so do not expect it to be tidy

EDIT:
I'm not using Extra. My boot is ok... at least acceptable.
And as for VoodooPower.kext it's saying my lowest freq is 1002 MHz. I think that I had a similar value in Linux.

It seems that there is no success

Fans are not stable... Today I had to use a great fan that stands on the floor...

It makes my laptop cool! I think that there is a problem with SMBIOS. It has a great influence on SMCPlatformPlugin... And this plugin contains thermal profiles...

And I got another problem... I get console messages EVERY time like this:
10.06.09 20:12:42 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.uphuck.speedstep2[766]) posix_spawnp("/Library/SpeedStep2/IntelEnhancedSpeedStep", ...): No such file or directory

That began after dleting SpeedStep2 directory from \Library\StartupItems

Do You know how to fix this?

Thanks.

With great respect, jazzminos.

This post is way off topic, but since most of us in this thread have the same or extremely similar laptops, I figured it was as good of a place as any to post. I've been playing with snow leopard for most of the day, and I have to say it is awesome. Right now, I'm typing this on my new snow leopard install, with sound, power management, battery recognition, gfx acceleration, both cores working, etc. (Vanilla kernel as well!) I think this is going to replace Leopard for me now!

Just thought you'd like to know our laptops will play very nicely with Snow Leopard

Hi, geiman! It is very nice to see You here

Do you have any ideas about how to make my fans work... I'm just about to open the laptop and to reconnect my fans to make the work continuously... I've spent a lot of time using Your patched BIOS... And I havn't had any problems with fans. Should I go back to use it... With 2 unknown devices in XP? It seems that Your version of BIOS was the most working. I had sound... But it disappeared with 2Gb memory banks. Can You help me with this 2 problems?

It is nice that You have made Your laptop working with SL... Can You post here a small tutorial... With needed kexts of course

With great respect, jazzminos.

Roll Back to geimans 4.0 BIOS doesn't help with fans in 10.5.7

geiman

Jun 23 2009, 04:15 PM

I wish I could help you with your fans problem, but I don't know of anything off the top of my head to help you.. I'll look around a bit. My fans work ok, but I have to use Voodoo power kext in order to get speed stepping working correctly. It also detects my cpus minimum frequency to be about 1003 MHz; I used to be able to get it to recognize a minimum value in the 900's or 800's, maybe lower. its been so long that I can't remember; anyways, I have never been able to get it back that low, but even with the 1003 MHz speed it hangs around ~46 C.

I know that the SMBIOS especially has a great influence on all of this, at least for me; might want to fool with different variations or even try and edit one for yourself.

As for the Snow Leopard tutorial, you can follow this one:

http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/how-to-inst...-on-a-pc-t3137/

I followed this one, so I figured it better for you to get the information first hand rather than through me. I did the tutorial exactly, and just moved whatever kexts I used in Leopard over to my Snow Leopard partition and they worked! (And of course your patched DSDT, unless you directly patched your bios)

Let me know how you make out, meanwhile I'll try and see if I can find anything else to help you.

Hi, friends. I solved the fan problem radically... Now I have manually adjustable fan. I've opened laptop and connected the fan to one of the USB ports... The speed is adjusted with a little regulator. Now is the time to think about other things

Slightly OT:

Does anyone of you guys is still using Disabler.kext? I've started cleaning my Extensions folder and had successfully removed couple of Extensions I do not need.
I've read that Disabler.kext might have an influence on FireWire behavior (read: bandwith and cpu usage) and would like to fix it.
I've tried to remove it (Disabler.kext) but then I get KP mentioning AppleEFINVRAM.kext and AppleEFIRuntime.kext

So, my question is: is it possible for me (us?) to stop using this kext? or not?

Thanks in advance for your responses,
mentorek

EDIT:

These are the kexts that are being used by my installation. Shall I remove anything else that is not needed anymore?

I don't use Disabler.kext... It seems that it is not necessary with DSDT.aml. I have loaded even AppleCPUPowerManagement. You need to delete Don'tStealMacOSX.kext. I've noticed that there are different versions of Disabler.kext. They are discribed on XxX v2. Do You have any news on sound problem?

Are you using 10.5.7? Which distribution (Kalyway/iPC/...?)? My installation is quite old and seems to have some leftovers from the base (10.5.1/10.5.2 Kalyway) which might have an impact.

Could you provide me with your extensions folder?

As for audio part - I haven't time to experiment much further. I've found one guy with a AppleHDA kext on some Russian forum but I couldn't neither download it (have to register) nor access it recently.

I use iAtkos 5i practically stock installation + Chameleon 2 (with GMA950b (Natit) driver from iAtkos) + Your DSDT.aml + AppleDecrypt + some files in Extra + latest PCI drivers by Chun Nan + VoodooPS2 + VoodooPower. Kernel & ACPI are fully stock... My sleep works.

I can't solve problem with SMBIOS... I don't know what to use... SMBIOSResolver worked in 10.5.6, but it doesn't work in 10.5.7. I always get a error with Computer Model in System Profiler.

Can You give me the link from Russian forum? I'm from Russia and I'll try to contact this guy.

Try using smbios.plist in /Extra folder to solve (fill in) infos in System Profiler.

The link: http://www.applelife.ru/kak_sdelat_hda_zvuk/12860/850.html
I didn't figure out how to use those kexts he provided.

Thanks for the your extensions - I will get back to you with the outcome.

It seems that my installation is so f*cked up that I have(?) to use Disabler.kext and God knows what!
I will try to reinstall it using iPC 10.5.6 and see if that would change anything.

Just to be sure... I should only copy this file over to my Extensions folder and that's it?

Shall I change any nodes anywhere?
Could you upload this kext on mediafire or rapidshare?

Hi guys,

Partial success! At the moment my Headphone jack IS working (it's marked as Internal Speakers though), in Audio Midi Setup I have only Built-in Microphone options available and no controls for output.
Probably I would need some tweaks in plist files to make the rest (Internal Speakers, Line In and Mic) working.

Clubber_77 - I've attached my linux dump as VoodooHDA is not working for me (Kernel Panic). Could you please help me with updating correct Info.plist?

cheers,

IIRC it has been made using Mandriva 2009 but not PowerPack... I can try to download it and create a dump once again if needed.
Is VoodooHDA creating more detailed dump?
BTW. I can provide you with Vista verbs (and also my slightly modified version to reflect OSX reqs) if that would help at all.

VoodooHDA supplements the data received from Linux dump.

Well, it took some time to download this DVD but finally I've got it.

Check out the attachments. There are Vista verbs, verbs modified for use with OSX and codec dump.

Hello
I'm reading this forum for over years but till now I didn't need to ask questions.
I'm getting problem that my graphics card fan stops working under leopard (10.5.7).
Fan is spinning till reading kexts during start and then it stops working.
It's getting very hot so I have to reboot every 20 min. so it can cool during booting.
Is there any way that my fan will ever work.
Till now I haven't activate QE/CI so graphics was quite cool, but now when it's running, I'm getting serious problem with hot.

Thanks for any advice and sorry for my English

Thanks for any advice and sorry for my English

Did you try to use DSDT override? It should help solving your issue.

Hi, mentorek! Do You have any success on sound?

To Silo. About fans - open laptop and connect fan power cord to the nearest USB port, You can also attach a regulator. This was the only way for me to get my fan work. I can't help You with graphics, because my graphics is GMA950. It work absolutely normal after DSDT override.

Well, just the microphone and headphone port are working with the driver from clubber_77 work.
I would like to experiment further but I have no reference (i.e. linux dump used to create this driver) and I cannot find a good tutorial anymore.
Would love to have external speakers working and line-in would be great as well...

Yes.
My DSDT was made with DSDT Patcher GUI with -f cause had 2 errors and 16 warnings.
I was trying with "New HPET option" and without but with same result.
Maybe I'll attach my DSDT.aml and lspci so you can see if it will work.
I also don't know if to apply patch I need just to put file in / or I have to put th in boot.plist?
I'm using latest Chameleon 2.0 rc1.

Thanks

You're going to want to look into those errors; I had the same issue, and ended up having to edit it myself to get it to compile correctly. When I would force compile, the DSDT never did anything good for me, in fact if I remember correctly I think it made things worse. But, after successfully editing it myself it has solved a host of problems, and made my laptop very stable.

And yes, to install you simply need to place it in "/" however make sure your boot loader supports loading DSDT.

Check out my fixed and compiled DSDT.aml's. One has been made with 1gig and the second with 4gigs.

cheers,

MEN !!!!

You ROCK

)))
Thank you for your DSDT

My GPU Fan started to sinning.
It spin now for over 2 min, but I don't care, even if i will spin all the time, I'm glad that you made it for me.

It doesn't spin full speed and I don't know what will be in 2 hours, but for now it is better than have to every 30 min reboot and waiting in bios to gpu chill down

Thanks again and good luck with our audio

Hi, mentorek! It is very strange, but with Your new DSDT.aml (4 Gigs) I loose my DVD drive. Although with this .aml I have all information about my sound in System Profiler (line in, mic, speakers). But there is no real sound. With Your OLD DSDT.aml, that You have posted few pages back my DVD drive works fine. With this OLD file I have less info in SP (speaker & CD ONLY). In this case I have no real sound either.

With great respect, jazzminos.

Those informations in SystemPrefs are not of any use. It's just a simple representation taken from codec verbs and put in the DSDT. To get a real sound one should put correct information in PathMaps of the AppleHDA.kext. I have tried but with no results. The only (partially) working kext I've found is the one linked by Clubber_77.

As for DVD - I have no clue why it's missing for you with different aml files as both consist the same data inside. Maybe it has something to do with memory size or being reserved in the DSDT. You can also diff your aml file against mine and update yours wherever it needs to be updated.

Hi Strange thing occurred.

First after applying your dsdt (1gb) my gpu fan started to working.
Then I noticed, that my wifi card that is in pcmcia slot become unstable, and cause random shutdown.
So I changed do DSDT (4GB), but then I couldn't even boot my computer - it stuck on sth about IRQ's
So I have to boot with Leo DVD, start Terminal, delete DSDT(4gb) from root, and after booting again my gpu fan still working (as it was with DSDT(1gb))...but now my wifi card doesn't make random shutdown any more.
The onyly lag I noticed is that boot time takes a LOT longer, and mouse "jitter" so I have to work with TouchPad.
And any graphics animations like "show desktop", or bouncing application in dock whet it starts is just "jitter" like QE/CI was not working...
Still thank you for your help guys.

In this case you can always boot with

CODE

DSDT=whateveryouwant.aml

boot option and do the magic you want.

And the jitter problems - I advise you to create your own DSDT. Use DSDTPatcher and correct the lines that might still be a problem and compile the file yourself. There is a big chance that each DSDT has some specific parts of code here and there that might cause your lappy to behave unstable.
I cannot test PCMCIA slot as I haven't any hardware using it anymore.

For me, it's still a mystery how is it possible to boot OSX without Disabler.kext on Toshiba.

EDIT #1:
Looks like the RC2 of Chameleon fixes that issue. I can now boot without Disabler.kext.

~~I will try out iPC during the weekend.~~

EDIT #2:
Never happened.

Hopefully it will allow me to enjoy firewire connection at full speed...

EDIT #3:
Using all NVRAM kexts didn't change a thing as it's supposed to, but... "full-secure" warning went away!

I don't use Disabler.kext... I even have CPUPM.kext loaded

Slightly off topic:

I have managed to get speedstep and fans running without VoodooPower.kext!

What I did was a change in smbios.plist from MacbookPro4,1 to MacbookPro1,1. (you will have to use Chameleon/EFI10 to use smbios.plist).
Make sure that you have ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin loaded. (Disabler.kext might prevent it to be loaded).

At the moment I'm running my Tosh with ca. 64 deg. C on both cores (when idle) and 1000 MHz and going up when needed.

I know that the temperature is still a bit high... maybe there is a room for improvement.

What I've just noticed is that when I plug in my FireWire hardware the CPU clock goes up to 2gigs and hardly ever goes down to 1gig... I still don't know how those two might be related - I thought that FireWire should not use CPU power.

Anyway, it's a nice thing to have speedstep and fans running. Maybe you will be able to use this to enable yours.

Small howto:

Prerequisites: OSX 10.5.7, No Disabler.kext, DSDT.aml, some software to check CPU temperature and frequency (I have used Hardware Monitor)

0. REMEMBER ABOUT BACKUPS!!! Use this guide at your own risk, I do not take any responsibility for any harm for you and/or your hardware or any inconvenience caused by following this guide.

1. Install Chameleon 2 RC2

2. Create smbios.plist file in

CODE

/Extra

folder (use mine as reference)

3. Edit Info.plist in

CODE

/System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents

4. Find a key PLimitDict and add two nodes as follows:

CODE

<key>MacBookPro1,1</key>
<integer>0</integer>

Note: MacBookPro1,1 should have to match your SMproductname from smbios.plist (see step 1).

5. Clear the Extensions caches and touch Extensions folder (I used to do this by hand but recently I've went back to OSX86Tools app with excellent results).
6. Reboot your machine and check if your fans and speedstep are working.

Enjoy!

Could anyone swap the Intel wireless card for a broadcom on toshiba p100 and get it working? I bought a mini-PCI broadcom 4311 and when I put it on my toshi it just doesnt boot! Any solutions? Any help would be appreciated

By the way, sound only works for me with 1 GB ram, I had 2 before and was about to give up of getting sound to work, then I read this somewere and took 1 GB of and bam, sound working

I've got the same problem with the same card.
It's recognized as airport in my second asus laptop but toshiba doesn't boot at all.
I've made some loooong test and teped (covered) all pins on my broadcom card,and then uncovered pin after pin until my laptop stopped to boot. What I've discovered is that only covering 45th pin made my laptop to boot, but then it doesn't discover usb and my built-in keyboard, so I cannot boot in Leo, cause my boot loader wait for "enter" key to boot into.
I had no time yet to try what will be if I'll boot into but maybe this weekend I'll try.
Hope that ill hope someone to discover something about f....n toshiba bios.

I had swapped Intel to Atheros based card by Gigabyte. Working flawlessly! Don't matter if using 1gig (2x512MB) or 4 gigs (2x2gigs).
