@blackosx

haha.. somewhat   , i know FormerlyKnownAs meant but i dont know how to do it. right now im using disabler for the appleintelcpu since sleep is currently not an issue (it can sleep fine but dont like the higher temp), i choose the cooler CPU since im using stock intel heatsink

BTW thanks FormerlyKnownAs for the links, did read a few page but didnt quite understand yet. Hopefully you can break down the steps (dont have to be detailed) then ill continue the reading

LOL - I'm still getting to grips with it myself, I think a comprehensive & coherent guide is a while off.
Have you tried the Voodoopower kext - worked OTB for me. It will give you speedstep so should keep the temps down.

You can get a ruff guide on CPU voltage and frequency with MSR Tools or CPU-X

yes im using it right now temp turns down a bit but it's still higher by maybe 7-10C, my problem is if i load AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext i get sleep but higher temp, if i disable it or delete it i have lower temp but no sleep.

BTW this is on 10.5.8, no prob before that. Not a life and death issue though, im much more interested getting my rig sleep in snow rather than leo but thats another topic im sure it will get sorted in the coming days.

I have been using Temperature Monitor to monitor my CPU temps. My CPU when running AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement is reported at 49-50 degrees C most of the time. But I don't know how accurate it is. I have read that if I set an alarm in the BIOS to sound when it reaches say 40 degrees C then monitor the reading from Temperature monitor then when the alarm sounds I can check to see how accurate it is. But I haven't got round to it yet.

I finally got sound and graphics working with DSDT. I had to try 9 versions of the DSDT.aml file to get graphics working correctly. One item that was different for me was that I had to tick the PEGP box under the graphics tab (in the ACPI patcher) or else I got corrupted graphics - even though it didn't show up in the IORegistryExplorer anywhere for my set-up.

Now to try the 10.5.8 update...

Well done! Yeah, nobody said it would work first time.. lol
Thanks for pointing out you had to tick the PEGP box even though it didn't show up in IORegExplorer. It's a bit of a dark art this DSDT...

Good luck with the 10.5.8 update.

Finally I got my audio working !!

I have now a dsdt with audio working - done basically following the guide (and restoring original kexts that have been replaced by my "tests").
Network made some problems --> I use now the on-board interface - that works. I could not get a working dsdt.aml with the Netgear PCI card.

And: Stealthplug is working - my son is happy.

PS: What is the procedure for the 10.5.8 upgrade ? Just move IOPCIFamily.kext out of /E/E ??

[mobjerg]

Basically that's it - I followed the instructions here: http://www.insanelym...howtopic=178292 and it worked for me.

[g_h]

But Timemachine does not want to start....  with the "...network interface not found.." message.

Whats the trick ?
I am sure, I have checked Timemachine fix on generating dsdt.aml  - but now my primary network is the "on-board" not the PCI card. And YES network is functioning!

This is great news Gerhard. I am happy you have got it working and that your Stealthplug is working too  
The audio was something you had to do yourself as I couldn't help you any further with it, so well done.
Interesting you couldn't get the PCI Netgear GA311 working but I guess you no longer need it as the on-board works perfectly.

Yes, and mobjerg you were right too.

But I have since found out you need to also replace IONetworkingFamily.kext too as for my system, in terminal, when i enter grep UUID /var/log/system.log I was getting the message 'loaded version 1.6.1 of module com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily differs from requested version 1.6.1 (UUIDs differ)'

This is strange, as TimeMachine works for me. I have also ticked the TimeMachine box when I made my DSDT.aml.
For bonjour newtorking I still need Psystar's RealtekR1000.kext (along with IOPCIFamily.kext and IONetworkingFamily.kext).

Is anybody who has upgraded to 10.5.8 and now uses DSDT.aml having any problems with TimeMachine?

[g_h]

@Timemachine:
I think it has something to do that I had to switch Networks:
- 1st I used the Netgear - this was en0
  but I could not configure it well for dsdt.aml

- the on-board works with dsdt.aml and is "en1"
  I removed "en0" but Timemachine gives me this error.....

Yeah It might be. In System Profiler, my Ethernet is en0

Have you removed Disabler.kext from /E/E?

[g_h]

Yes I did.
With more or less the same result: It seems to do a correct sleep  -  when I press power on, after few seconds I hear the POST-beep.  Will recheck bios settings.

Sleep would be nice - but OSX boots so fast that we can live with this.....

thanks for your help

Thanks for the link FormerlyKnownAs.

I have had a quick play with VoodooPowerMini.kext and it wouldn't load from /E/E. So I don't know if this is recommended, but I tried adding
     <key>OSBundleRequired</key>
     <string>Root</string>
to it's info.plist before <key>IOKitPersonalities</key>
Rebuilding Extensions.mkext and now it loads from /E/E.

The result for my system is an average of 2 degrees drop in running temperature.  It's nothing major but something at least. I have posted a couple of screengrabs in my other thread to show it.

Have you ticked "Start up automatically after a power failure" in System Preferences Energy Saver.
Fixed sleep for me...

Hopefully it's something simple for you, as the 10.5.8 sleep fix of using a DSDT and removing the disabler to let AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement run, has worked for me and the others who have followed my guide then applied the DSDT fix as you have.

You can type sudo kextstat in the Terminal to verify AppleIntelCPUManagement is running.

Also try the energy saver prefs fix that STLVNUB kindly pointed out. But you've probably got that ticked if you're SMBIOS allows that option to appear?

Thanx guys - this did it!
Sleep & wakeup works now!!

Has anybody confirmed that the CPU temp is actually higher and it's not that the temp is just being reported as higher?

As I got through my speedsteps the voltage and frequency increments are still the same with 10.5.8 but I have actually noticed a 2-3 Deg increase in temp at idle (Worth noting though London is quite hot this weekend - It's actually NOT raining ~) the Fan could be running at lower RPM or CPU could be pulling more current - ameter GUI anyone?

I have the EP45-DS3R and I was able to successfully did a retail install of 10.5.7 following your other guide...thank you for that.  
Anyway, all I want to do now is to get the line-in pink audio jack working.  I'm following your guide in this thread now and I'm able to create my own DSDT.aml. (I use ALC889a 'cause I read in another thread that it works for my mobo.)  Well, I tried all 4 legacyHDA files and I got the same no audio device found message.

When you said in your guide, "to remove any device-properties" in com.apple.Bott.plist, you mean to delete everything I have here within <string>everything</string>?
