Asus P6t SE
i7 930 cpu
1600 mhz memory
SSD harddrive
Sapphire HD5750 1 gb GDDR5
osx 10.6.5 64 bit

Then how do you know whats the true score if you get different readings from time to time with the same hardware under the same conditions? Dont get me wrong now iReset I love your work and the latest dsdt works really good, its geekbench Im not so sure its so reliable.

[_Wolverine_]

I said geekbench cause its the only one I know other than cinebench
if you have any other we could compare

btw Thanks a lot for your help iReset

After updating to 10.6.7 I am stuck on
AppleSMBusPCI::start failed to get acpi path for provider.

I am as vanilla as one can get, just using fakesmc and p6tse kexts.

Anyone any ideas?

Hardware is
p6tse
i7 920
hd5770

EDIT:
Got this problem solved. It said something about PCI devices earlier in the log.
I had to install Multibeast ATI Support for my Sapphire HD 5770 and then I updated to 10.6.7.

SO IN GENERAL: MAKE SURE YOUR GRAPHICS CARD IS WORKING BEFORE YOU UPDATE TO 10.6.7

[faggus]

can we upgrade to 10.6.8?  anyone tried it yet?

[faggus]

10.6.8 update kills audio, and i've tried every hdaenabler, applehda, and legacy1200hda i could find.  i don't have a 10.6.4 audiohda.kext file around anywhere.  anyone else get this to work?

Oy mate, I got the audio fixed by installing these two kexts with kextutility. Hope it works...

Update to 10.6.8...

(Some picture show AD2000B because the steps are the same as my other motherboard but the P6T SE have a ALC1200 controller)

1) Update your 10.6.x to 10.6.8 with a combo update dmg file.


2) When the combo update process are finalized, no restart.

3) fireup your terminal /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
and enter the following sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x85\x08\xec\x10|\x88\x08\xec\x10|g' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleHDA


4) Download the Archive it contain 2 file.


5) Navigate to your AppleHDA.kext

right click on that kext and next on Show package/contents


6) A new window will open, navigate into the Contents/Resources folder


7) replace/overwrite the two file from the downloaded archive.

8) Delete the ALC1200.kext (or P6TSE.kext) file from Extra/Extensions
So in your Extra/Extensions you have only FakeSMC.kext

9) Use >>THIS<< set of .plist
rename it into Info.plist and replace:
- Yukon2
/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext/Contents/Info.plist

- AppleAHCIPort
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAHCIPort.kext/Contents/Info.plist

- IOAHCIBlockStorage
/System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/Info.plist

- JMicronATA
/System/Library/Extensions/JMicronATA.kext/Contents/Info.plist

10) Run Kext utility or similar... (repair disk permission, privilege, caches..)

Done.

PS.. Maybe tweak41 can explain how too in a more and comprensive english.

Fabio Im getting a bit confused here doesnt network work with 10.6.8? Mine does I did the ordinary update through the appstore though. I tested sdpeedtest.net and it works like a charm I get 90 mb downstream and 80 mb upstream and I have not done anything with my network just the update. Or is this only to get onboard sound working (I dont use it got a delta 44 in this one)?

You update your P6T SE from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 right?
then what about your audio.. still working? probably no because a lot of things changed into AppleHDA(10.6.8)
The proposed patch is for get the ALC1200 (the onboard AUDIO controller) work with the 10.6.8 AppleHDA.

Also the .plist proposed... for the P6T SE the "Yukon2" is not needed, but the other like JmicronATA and ACHI & BlockStorage..ecc are needed for the correct functionally... (Orange HD icons ecc)

Hello and congratulations for the work Fabio (Congratulations are also to Tweak and for the rest of the forum)
I have a small problem: after updating with your latest DSDT.aml My result geekbenck is 8749. First it was 9170.
The problem may be the older version of bios? My bios is 0808.
Thanks in advance

Edit: The first test I had done with 10.6.6, the second after upgrading to 10.6.8 but the situation remained the same.

Edit2:I also updated the bios to 0908 but the story remains the same

Thanks for the fast reply.
Yes I did and as I said I dont use onboard audio. Ok so its for the onboard audio then thats what I guessed. I still have the same icons as before both for HDs and USB units and it looks they work ok. Only glitch Ive noticed so far is Quicktime wouldnt play a H.264 video in mp4 container but VLC can so I guess its a Quicktime problem and has nothing to do with this. It would be cool to try it out though just to see if I get even more power out of this hack but Im gonna upgrade to Lion as soon as they release it so I think Ill save my energy cause Im sure I will run in to new probs with that one   .
Thanks

[tweak41]

Would someone be willing to try the kext pack I modified using Fabio's instructions posted on the first page with the Delta Update (Software Update)?  I want to see if AppleHDA will work without using the Combo Update.

Thanks!

Try play with Macmodel in smbios.plist...

maybe switch from MacPro4,1 to MacPro3,1 or viceversa

I tried macpro3.1, 4.1 and 5.1 but do not notice any change.
This is my smbios.plist

Hi guys.

Sorry... I forgot one file in the AppleHDA patching process

In this >>archive << there are 3 files.

- layout12.xml Same file as before...
- Platforms.xml Same file as before...
- Info.plist this need to be replaced into
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist

this file (Info.plist) "fix" the mic problem...

Hi Fabio,
Kind of n00b here..
I did the update as you wrote it, but I cannot boot after updating to 10.6.8
The machine just hangs on the grey load screen (with the apple logo) and a "not entry" sign.

Do you have something I can try doing?

Here is a picture of the boot screen in safe mode:
