Update: also have a look at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=133683

Update: file chameleon in chameleon.zip should become your /boot if you use "easy install method" for Chameleon. If you don't know how to install Chameleon chances are you may screw this up. But reinstall of Chameleon should cure. Still I take no responsibility. Try at your own risk
Update: relaxed some sanity checks due to the problem on Superhai's mobo. Thanks him for testing

Update: I've just added two options to control DSDT override. First one is DSDT=<filename> which let you specify DSDT file to load. Second one is DropSSDT. If you write DropSSDT=y then all SSDT tables (additions to main DSDT) will be hidden from OSX. If you need to patch SSDT just reunite it with SSDT and override DSDT dropping SSDT. Debug version is also in the archive

Hello. Some people were experiencing problems because of the incompatible DSDT. So I've written a patch to Chameleon which looks for the file named /DSDT.aml and if it finds one it overrides the DSDT with contents of this file. Micro-howto.
Under Ubuntu
CODE
sudo cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat
  sudo aptitude install iasl
  iasl -d dsdt.dat

Then correct your dsdt.dsl. (Look at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=90505)
CODE
iasl -ta dsdt.dsl

then put dsdt.aml to DSDT.aml in the root of your macos partition.
Install Chameleon (any Chameleon install method should do. I personally load it with GRUB)
On my system this had mixed results: I now can use vanilla AppleACPIPlatform and AppleAPIC (before I had to use old JaS kexts) but when I try to boot with cpus=2 I recieve a crash (but significantly later than before). Perhaps I have to fix my DSDT some more, perhaps my new problem isn't DSDT-related or perhaps my patch has some problems.
This patch is really fresh, I've just written it and I tested it only on my machine . So any bug is possible.
You try this patch on your own risk. I take no responsibility of any possible damage.
But if you try please leave a comment in this thread
Just for the people using search: DSDT replacement solves different problems. One of them is the problem "using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers" (like http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78235 except that you get both cores working)
EDIT: Removed old version. Put new which should support more configurations

Small update: on my laptop additionally GenericCPUPowerManagement.kext was conflicting with dual-core. After reinstall (just to clear everything) using modified DSDT allowed me to use second core but since I didn't reinstall GenericCPUPowerManagement.kext I have no speedstep. Will go around and look for another speedstep solution

Wow this is great news, I too need the old ACPI and APIC to boot, if this works out maybe it can be merged with the chameleon /dfe for the boot-132 cd's and dfe/efi partition booting. This would be huge imo. Great job smile.gif

I am booing a patched kernel + extensions + boot.plist from the efi partition on my P4 system so this would be of interest to me.

Hi! Grats for your additions to Chameleon 1.0.11! smile.gif However i'd like to ask you to follow APSL's terms which means you make your source code available somehow.

Bye,

I'm terribly sorry, just missed that patch file in the attached zip! tongue.gif

Thank you so much smile.gif

Seems to work OK for me. I used to use modified BIOS and I dumped DSDT from that - now I can use vanilla BIOS and with Your patch everything is OK - two cores and new AppleACPIPlatform and AppleAPIC as weel. Good work!

I personally don't care much about sleep (my system refuses to wake up from sleep) but x64 support would be very nice. x64 support+DSDT override is exactly what I need to get my system Snow Leopard-x64-ready (if Snow Leopard doesn't break anything else)
P.S. I added a line to say what this patch can fix: for the people using search

ur patch doesnt work on gigabytes, freeze after it find rsdt address (enabled debug)
can it be cause by bl unable to find acpi2.0 rsdp on gigas ?

I don't think so since on my computer it doesn't find ACPIv1 and the code is completely symmetrical about v1 and v2. Do you have more than 4GB of RAM? If it's the case then it's possible that xsdt is upper than 4 GB and then my patch find some random data instead of XSDT.
So it writes "rsdt=..." but no "TABLE ..."? I'll add different sanity checks to be sure that it finds correct table
Try the attached version. I added some checks and if it finds an address over 4GB it drops XSDT completely hoping that OSX reverts to RSDT. Does anybody know about simple way of accessing memory over 4GB?
P.S. Corrected the name of compiler in first post. Sorry for mistake
EDIT: deleted this download. Use the latest version

I don't know. I always use GRUB method. You can try just putting boot at the root of your partition. Have you put the corrected DSDT in the file /DSDT.aml of your partition? Did you put the compiled version? Try debug version from last post (use chameleon2debug as boot)

I used the debug V2.

I simply copy it in the / of the boot drive

it works smile.gif

Now i have to find what i have to change to get dual core working on my hp laptop NC6400, as it crash randomely when dual core is enabled

I looked at your dsdt (downloaded from parallel thread). It doesn't suffer from the same problem as mine (aliases). UnfortunatelyI don't have a lot of experience with DSDT to determine what's wrong with it. But my first suggestion would be to go through kexts. Perhaps some of them conflict with dual-core. Try moving all the modified and non-apple kexts out of the extension folder. Try also to boot with -f, -x or -s

Hello. I removed the power-state information from your DSDT. Not sure what effect it will have. So I give no warranty whatsoever. Try at your own risk

Hello. For all those having Gigabyte or any other mobo with ACPIv1 support. Could you test the new version that I uploaded at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=944536 . In case of problems the debug version is at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=944496. Great thanks to roisoft for his testing

Hey,

I made a Tool to patch your DSDT, it will create a dsdt.aml with what you should be able to run AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext and the upcoming AppleRTC kext without a panic. Have fun smile.gif
Readme is included. If it fails please PM me and attach the Patcher output.

Hi, i have some issue :

Mobo : GA P35 DS3R

the fass's patch works, gives me an dsdt.aml, but at boot, just after the dsdt patching, the screen hangs with a lot of ascii colored keys all over the screen; like memory adressing bug


Mobo : Laptop HP NC6400

the fass's patch dont work : it says "no HPET Device found, adding one..." and then loops with this message



Can anyone help plz ?

Edit : it works with unmodified dsdt.aml of course

Did you use the latest version (chameleondsdt_acpv12.zip from the first post)?
If yes try the last debug version with -v and post the results: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry944496

fassl patch give me a correct dsdt but when a try to replace the "boot" file, the computer doesn't start not even try to load text, it give me a error " no acpi driver etc..."


The same as for ovof + can you boot with -v debug=0xffffffff ?

WORKING !!! with the chameleonv12 fix and the fass's fix smile.gif

on Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R

now appleInteCPUPowermanagement is loaded (Apple RTC too)


BTW, it means that we can update Leopard without the sleep–rm–kext–script ? Great smile.gif

Ok i found why smile.gif

when dump DSDT and dissamble,

the HPET is not named HPET but CXXX :

CODE
               Device (C219)
                {
                    Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0103"))



BUT ! PNP0103 is the name of HPET device smile.gif

So i try ti manually patch the DSDT using this entry :–)

I'll tell you...



hee's the complete entry for HPET device on NC6400 HP laptop :

Thank you for this patcher. I didn't try it yet but it really smells vanilla! It gave me an idea of creating perl script which will patch common DSDT problems (processor aliases, RTC,...). It would especially useful for installing vanilla OSX: so a perl script could dump DSDT, patch it, recompile, then unpack bootloader disc (eg dfe), add patched DSDT and recreate the image. And as it would in perl it could be done from linux (eventually from windows) before installing OSX. So could you say what exactly your patcher does?

- get conditionnal return in HPET device to return thr right values

No luck, crash after loading AppleIntelCPUPM... juste before, in console, i can see : Package 0 didn't get HPET...

Yeah, that is what i wanted to add next to the patcher, the CPU aliases fix. As you i am also a fan of open-source, i sure will release the Source as soon as i cleaned the Code and added the CPU aliases fix. Also it also looks like i need to rewrite the search routine (look at ovof's post) and also need to add an OSI entry for Darwin, so if people will flash it to BIOS it will still work for the other OS's. If you want to help, feel free to contact me.

chameleon2debug is an old version which works only if you have no acpiv1 tables (gigabytes have it). Use the latest version. In case of problems use the latest debug version. I deleted all old files so people don't get confused anymore
For P-States try GenericCPUPowerManagement.kext from http://superhai.com/darwin.html. But be sure to have latest version because older ones have bugs. If I'll have enough time I'll have a look at P-State specification - my BIOS also doesn't provide P-states-table but it would be nice to use speedstep without extra kext

I actually thought that perl would be better suited for this kind of things. Especially that it has regexp. If you're interested in perl version I can do it. This would effectively solve search engine problems. But I'm not sure of having enough free time before the weekend

Can anyone supply DSDT dump from any apple notebook? This could help to understand apple's implementation of P-states among many other things. But please don't use apple's DSDT directly on non-apple computer.

Thanks or the patch tool. But it does't work here.
placed boot and the resulting dsdt.aml into the root of the startup drive. Everything looks fine but the system just hangs
at a certain point (random). Sometimes it loads everything but at the moment I would expect the loginscreen it just sits there.

I even see that AICPUPowerManagement initilizes completly.

NC6400 dual core issue.

1st solution :

The dual core issue with my HP laptop (NC6400) seems to come from a bad initialization of the second core during LAPIC initialization.

Does the DSDT pass any arguments for this to the OS ?



2nd solution :

i see in the DSDT that cores enumeration starts at 0x1 for CPU0, then 0x2 for CPU1. But in other DSDT, it starts at 0x0 for CPU0. Maybe its there the issue...

Edit : i think its here :
When ACPI inits, i've got this in console :

28/10/08 20:03:59 kernel AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=1 LocalApicId=0 Enabled
28/10/08 20:03:59 kernel AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=2 LocalApicId=1 Enabled

But in normal it should be :
28/10/08 20:03:59 kernel AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=0 LocalApicId=0 Enabled
28/10/08 20:03:59 kernel AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=1 LocalApicId=1 Enabled

I thnik i've really have an issue in cpu enumeration which the issue...

I thnik i've really have an issue in cpu enumeration which the issue...

Don't think that this is a problem. On my laptop in corrected DSDT (with which both cores work) I have:
CODE
    Scope (_PR)
    {
        Processor (P001, 0x01, 0x00000810, 0x06) {}
    }

    Scope (_PR)
    {
        Processor (P002, 0x02, 0x00000810, 0x06) {}
    }

And if I remember correctly I also get
CODE
28/10/08 20:03:59 kernel AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=1 LocalApicId=0 Enabled
28/10/08 20:03:59 kernel AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=2 LocalApicId=1 Enabled

Hi, mackerintel!!

My system freezes right before GUI load. It doesn't boot neither normal mode nor debug.

I use this Chameleon bootloader to boot my system (unfortunately with one core). Could you try to patch it for DSDT override with DSDT.aml

a) To make Chameleon override DSDT just replace /boot with my boot file and add DSDT.aml
b You'll need patched DSDT for your system. No two systems are the same. Go here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=133683
c) DSDT override is not a magick wand and I'm not a wizard. DSDT override can solve many problems but not all of them. Your problem is probably graphics driver. Try to delete it to go to VGA mode. There are sufficiently many threads about graphic cards. Just use the search

I've replaced mine /boot with yours boot file and added DSDT already.
DSDT.aml i've reached using DSDT patch by fassl.
Unfortunately for mine graphic card only one driver is useful. I'll try to delete it and write here about result.
