nobody had a look to those ioregs? they are almost identical I just need to change that CPUPLimit value.. no ideas?!

Had a look and they are nearly identical.

What i have noticed is that the CState overrides are different. coco = True, and the MacBook = MacBook4,1.

You adjust this by looking in the ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext located in the IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext and adjusting this kext to match your configuration.

If i were u i would take a few steps back and use the original p-states from your mac clone. Modify them so you can get a better understanding of how your mac clone works.

I have found out the hard way, that not all 2.1Ghz Processors are the same, they will be different revisions and the one in your mac will be different to the one in your mac clone.
They are many white papers and documents written by intel on speedstep implementation if you google, intel speedstep whitepaper you will find them.

I'm sorry that i cannot give you the answers you wish.

well, I already looked into that kext but I found nothing apparently useful.. however I didn't search deeply. if you have an idea of what to look for it would be helpful. also I thought that if my smbios is set on a mb4,1 configuration it should be enough, indeed if I set my smbios to mp3,1 some of those values in the cpu's ioreg disappear. finally, I found my original pstates to be slightly wrong (I have a chinese laptop), since they are configured to a maximum of 2300mhz while my cpu runs at 2100...

[coconup]

I made it

there is an array in that kext called PLimitDict, I just had to add Macbook4,1=0 to make my cpuplimit value equal to 0 in the ioreg.. now I have 'vanilla' throttling, however it would be cool to find a cleaner solution through the dsdt

So...this explain why I have vanilla throttling, right? Because it has been set (by default) to MacPro3,1 in smbios.plist (located in EFI partition). There is already an entry for MacPro3,1 in Info.plist (PLimitDict - ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext).

Can you share with me what values missing when you set to MacPro3,1? My ioreg shows MacBookPro4,1 but System Profiler shows MacPro3,1. This is because there are smbios.plist (MacPro3,1) & SMBIOSResolver.kext (MacBookPro4,1) in the EFI partition. I did not remove SMBIOSResolver.kext when migrated to Chameleon 2.0 RC1.

GUYS,
i've made as it was adviced in first post. i got run ./getSSDT5.sh command and i get 5 dsl files and one dsdt file. then i've try to run next step with ./iasl -sa command and i got some errors while compiling:

right now i'm running with AppleIntelCPUManagement form 10.5.7 with SMBIOS override for MacBookPro2,1 i'm using also CoolBookController that works fine so my CPU temp with normal usual work on laptop is about 68-78 C  (2.33Ghz C2D) is it OK ?

Just to make you aware that the SSDT-0.aml files currently don't work with the new Chameleon2 graphical bootloader.

If you are still interested post the files.

i'm using chameleon posted here with SSDT and DSDT support. here are my SSDT files :

of course that i'm interresting. i also wondering that ModelID have something with it..couse i've checked plist for ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext and i found there different ModelID's but only one entry for MacbookPro2,1
so i will try to config my SMBIOS list to get MacbookPro4,1 and check that will have some influence.

Your SSDT-0 and SSDT-1 are used for SATA power management i would just ignore and skip loading these SSDT files. I've attached compiled SSDT-2 to 4 which relates to powermanagement. I manually compiled these using the following commands.

iasl -sa SSDT-2.dsl
iasl -sa SSDT-3.dsl
iasl -sa SSDT-4.dsl

put the SSDT-2.aml, SSDT-3.aml and SSDT-4.aml files into the root of your system. The bootloader will skip 0 and 1 and load the default tables since they are not found but continue to load 2,3 and 4.

Don't worry.
Some motherboards don't have CST tables since they don't need them. E.G. my gigabyte EP45 doesn't have them. CST are normally only required in laptops for preserving battery life.

[dakkie]

Big thx
i'll try them soon and give you the shout..

PS . did you modified them somehow or just compiled .aml files ? cause i made .aml files and chameleon loaded successfully those tables as it was showed on startup. 3 of them loaded..  but still errors with ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext

Hmm, really?
Your mobo is GA-EP45-UD3R?
When you boot in Ubuntu or Linux, do you see SSDT?
In my Mobo, p5w dh deluxe, I can not see SSDT if I used latest 2801 ROM from ASUS.  That's why I downgrade to 2503, old ROM.
There were SSDT only when I used 2503 ROM, but, it just shutdown abnormally after booting OSX, 3-5 minutes.
In case of Ubuntu, it's O.K.

This Symptom is really weird.
And I grabbed Ioregister when I used 2503 ROM as followings.
I have to grab this Ioregistry within 5 minutes after booting OSX.  ^  ^

Hello
any way to use this bootloader from usb?

Yea, I replace boot with attached bootloader in Boot-132 USB Memory stick.
It seems to be worked.
And It can loads initrd.img.

[WinstonAce]

So
just using this guide:
http://www.insanelym...howtopic=115064
and replacing boot (I assume it's file name) with the one from chameleon?
where should I put my dsdt.aml?
Thanks

i'm having trouble getting anything useful from dmesg, even with mach_kernel.voodoo set to run with the boot flag kprintf=1. it's just all a bunch of appledecrypt.kext output. so even though i have a modified dsdt.aml that has ssdt.aml integrated into it, i can't see the modified memory locations because of appledecrypt.kext (i'm assuming). anyone deal with this? i'm not sure if i can use dsmos.kext as a replacement for appledecrypt, and if that would even help.

this is on an asus 1000he running vanilla 10.5.7 with all non-essential hack kexts on the efi chameleon partition. running chameleon 2.01.

any help is appreciated.
