Many users install PowerManagement.bundle and is happy. But not all! As mine.

I found some new condition.
Edit IOSMBusFamily.kext/info,plist to have

<key>IOKitPersonalities</key>
	<dict>
		<key>IOSMBusController</key>
		<dict>
			<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
			<string>com.apple.iokit.IOSMBusFamily</string>
			<key>IOClass</key>
			<string>IOSMBusController</string>
			<key>IOPCIClassMatch</key>
			<string>0x0c050000&amp;0xffff0000</string>
			<key>IOProviderClass</key>
			<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
		</dict>
	</dict>

It works!

| | | | "compatible" = <"pci144d,b028","pci1002,4353","pciclass,0c0500">
| | | | "name" = "pci1002,4353"
| | | | }
| | | |
| | | +-o IOSMBusController <class IOSMBusController, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain count 4>
| | | {
| | | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory"
| | | "IOClass" = "IOSMBusController"
| | | "IOProviderClass" = "IOPCIDevice"
| | | "CFBundleIdentifier" = "com.apple.iokit.IOSMBusFamily"
| | | "IOPCIClassMatch" = "0x0c050000&0xffff0000"
| | | "IOProbeScore" = 0x0
| | | }

Then I need to delete AppleACPIEC.kext from AppleACPIPlatform.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
Why? Don't know exactly but the kext prevents SMBus to work.
Before I have

| | +-o AppleACPIBattery <class AppleACPIBattery, registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain count 121>
| | | {
| | | "Battery Present" = No
| | +-o AppleACPIBatteryHub <class AppleACPIBatteryHub, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain count 6>
| | {
| | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory"
| | "IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=0x0,"Amperage"=0x0,"Current"=0x0,"Voltage"=0x0,"Flags"=0x0})

Now I have

| | +-o AppleACPIBattery <class AppleACPIBattery, registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain count 9>
| | | {
| | | "Battery Present" = Yes
| | | "Battery Status" = (0x0,0x0,0xc80,0x30cf)
| | | "Battery Information" = (0x1,0x1130,0xc80,0x1,0x2b5c,0x0,0x60,0x1,0x1,"","","LION","SAMSUNG Electronics")
| | +-o AppleACPIBatteryHub <class AppleACPIBatteryHub, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain count 6>
| | {
| | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory"
| | "IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=0xc80,"Amperage"=0x0,"Current"=0xc80,"Voltage"=0x30cf,"Flags"=0x5})

Now powermanagement.bundle from keithpk really works for me and show battery status.

Hey all, I stumbled across this thread:

http://forum.insanel...o...114105&st=0

I managed to get it working but I missed something so I had to redo my system. I'm going to play with it some more.

[nickhe]

[nickhe]

I have not find SMBus in your config ( "class-code" = <00050c00>)!
Try other solutions.

[nickhe]

i've tried all of them acording to Chen nan it thinks i got 2 battery when i only have one

[jbourassa]

Hey slice,

Where do you get those reports where you start with | | |

Also, in the plist, do you actually replace the xml tags with yours or just replace the "IOKitPersonalities" portion of it?

thanks

as you can see this post is really old and by then i was on a different machine and running tiger.You should try voodoobattery or any other power management fix it might help.

[AntonDarmawan]

Is this work for Snow Leo?

[jfmock350]

I have an Asus G60Vx laptop. used Empire EFI 1.08 to install 10.6 and updated to 10.6.3 and using chameleon 2 RC4. I have everything working now except the power management and battery monitoring. I'm still very new to this and would love a deeper explanation of your steps here or maybe a nudge in a different direction. This install I have working now would not have come to pass without the help of all the posts on this forum.

Thanks.
