I want you guys&gals to remove (comment out first if you like) the device_id bits of Method _DSM in all Device (UHCn) then tell me which board you have (ICH9 or ICH10) and if it works for you, or not of course.
are we there yet?
Just an FYI. This took me in when I was sitting in front my computer with the air conditioner full blast. I had fixed dsdt & temps were around 33 C @idle. Next day I was back again @43-44. The weather was pleasant & so the AC was off, & I was ripping apart my dsdt to see what went wrong. Food was fuel for my brain, for while having lunch it struck me to switch the AC on & I was back @ 33.
So friends ambient temperatures do make a significant difference.
Hope this saves someone a wild goose chase.

Too bad. The main problem is that I don't have a GB board. Hmm. Someone said: "Get a PayPal account and I'll donate some dope to get you cracking". Well. I don't know. Would that work?!? I mean I don't like to ask for money, but having a GB would help me greatly of course. And since I don't have a need for it... let me know what you guys think.Chief, for ICH9, system fails to sleep without the device_id bits.

I think I found something. Let's have a look at a code block:Sure thing. 2 files one called DSDT.dsl which is the current edit, working okay, and the koalal.dsl which was output from the patcher by fixing LAN, NVIDIA, HDEF, HPET, etc. only.
Thank you for looking.

}All three basically the same. And all three used to control Advanced Power Management. The second one isn't even used in the DSDT so comment it out. In fact do that for all three and add this:Name(SCP, 0x80000000) Name(SMIP, 0x80000000)The idea is basically to eliminate the OperationRegion/Field combo's. Let's see if you can do without them.

Out of interest is your keyboard in a USB hub or direct to one of the MB's ports?@ Master Chief
Thanks for that tip. I see someone beat me to it. Guessing it'll work for me as well. I won't be at my machine before tomorrow morning. Will do it first thing & post results.
Could you spare some more time & investigate why my Apple Keyboard does not wake the system, while my mouse does? Also auto sleep does not work.
As for the SBUS/EC parts I simply dittoed from user keeza's DSDT. I have no errors there apparently as it compiled fine. Could you confirm that it is okay as well as elaborate what benefit it is besides making it more maclike?
Thank you very much

The purpose of this change is only to be able to remove the Windows/Linux bits from the DSDT simply because that for some is the main cause of PC Insomnia.Works just fine with those modifications. Doesn't help with the usb clock-id's though.
Method (_S3D, 0, NotSerialized)
{
If (LEqual (OSFL, 0x02))
{
Return (0x02)
}
Else
{
Return (0x03)
}
}can be changed into this:Method (_S3D, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (0x02)
}What we do is part of sleep and should also/eventually enable you to wake you hack with a single key press.@ Master Chief

p.s. Mine is connected to the a port at the back of my hack, and connecting the mouse to the left/right port on the Apple keyboard also enables me to wake my hack by mouse.

You can also remove Method (^_INI, 0, NotSerialized) and Method (OSTP, 0, NotSerialized) and the calling code. I hope that I didn't forget anything, and otherwise I'm here (or just PM me). Whatever suits you best.

I was talking about this Method:Ok, removed everything except _INI methods. There is two in your dsdt, so which one should I remove. System still running fine. Here is my latest very heavily stripped down version.
Method (^_INI, 0, NotSerialized) { If (STRC (_OS, "Microsoft Windows")) { Store (0x56, SMIP) } Else { If (STRC (_OS, "Microsoft Windows NT")) { If (CondRefOf (\_OSI, Local0)) { If (_OSI ("Windows 2001")) { Store (0x59, SMIP) Store (Zero, OSFL) Store (0x03, OSFX) } } Else { Store (0x58, SMIP) Store (Zero, OSFL) } } Else { Store (0x57, SMIP) Store (0x02, OSFL) } } }Which I think you already removed. Anyway. Note the call to Method STRC since that can also be removed now, along with the two new Name([SCP/SMIP], 0x80000000) vars. You should also be able to remove the following lines from Method _WAK:\_SB.DBEN ()
Store (0xFF, DBG1)
If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x03))
{
Store (0x8F, SCP)
}But the DBG1 bits must be checked first. Also remove the following bits from Method _PTR:If (LEqual (Arg0, One)) {}
If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x03)) {}
Store (0x99, SMIP)The first two are meaningless, and the last line is just a leftover from your previous work.

Great job. Let's get cracking shall we? Have a look at the following lines of code:Ok, all that is gone, still working great.
Scope (\)
{
Name (PICF, Zero)
Method (_PIC, 1, NotSerialized)
{
Store (Arg0, PICF)
}
}And this is what the ACPI specification has to say about it:Method (_PRT, 0, NotSerialized)
{
If (LNot (PICF))
{
Return (PICM)
}
Else
{
Return (APIC)
}
}Our goal is to have one Return() only! But that's not all of it because here's the longest part of it:Name (PICM, Package (0x10) { Package (0x04) { 0xFFFF, Zero, LNKE, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0xFFFF, One, LNKD, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0xFFFF, 0x02, LNKC, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0xFFFF, 0x03, LNKA, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0001FFFF, Zero, LNKD, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0001FFFF, One, LNKC, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0001FFFF, 0x02, LNKA, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0001FFFF, 0x03, LNKE, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0002FFFF, Zero, LNKC, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0002FFFF, One, LNKA, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0002FFFF, 0x02, LNKE, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0002FFFF, 0x03, LNKD, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0007FFFF, Zero, LNK1, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0007FFFF, One, LNK1, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0007FFFF, 0x02, LNK1, Zero }, Package (0x04) { 0x0007FFFF, 0x03, LNK1, Zero } }) Name (APIC, Package (0x10) { Package (0x04) { 0xFFFF, Zero, Zero, 0x14 }, Package (0x04) { 0xFFFF, One, Zero, 0x13 }, Package (0x04) { 0xFFFF, 0x02, Zero, 0x12 }, Package (0x04) { 0xFFFF, 0x03, Zero, 0x10 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0001FFFF, Zero, Zero, 0x13 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0001FFFF, One, Zero, 0x12 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0001FFFF, 0x02, Zero, 0x10 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0001FFFF, 0x03, Zero, 0x14 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0002FFFF, Zero, Zero, 0x12 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0002FFFF, One, Zero, 0x10 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0002FFFF, 0x02, Zero, 0x14 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0002FFFF, 0x03, Zero, 0x13 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0007FFFF, Zero, Zero, 0x17 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0007FFFF, One, Zero, 0x17 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0007FFFF, 0x02, Zero, 0x17 }, Package (0x04) { 0x0007FFFF, 0x03, Zero, 0x17 } })Ok. This is a rather long example, but there are others which are less long, but clutter the DSDT. What do you think? Are you able to remove the extra bits?Load (IST0, HI0)to check the value of PICF. This is basically everything you'll need to know. More even so surprise me
You sir should be able to use the great work done by fellow GB user/owner mm67 or at least verify/compare your changes with his DSDT, or try diff -uw old-file.dsl new-file.dslI've added SBUS and EC to my DSDT, but without success. Can't get it to compile. Could someone check it out?
Thanks

That's what we're here for. Having a bit of fun, and to learn something new.That I realized a moment ago. I tried mm67's DSDT, and it works on my board as well. Checked the tech-specs and the only (obvious) differences between the boards are the absence of eSata and RAID on mm67's m/b.
I had to add some bits (device-id) to get LPC to load, I then added my PSS-tables, but otherwise it booted superbly. How can I verify that SBUS/EC are working?
I have the same problem with sleep as I did with my DSDT though, sleeps fine, but on wake-up (by mouse works, but..) it restarts.
Thank you MasterChief and kiitos mm67, for putting up with me ;-) I've already learned a lot.

Here's a little howto for Device (SBUS): kextstat|grep SMBus
30 2 0x555c1000 0x3000 0x2000 com.apple.iokit.IOSMBusFamily (1.1) <5 4 3>
67 0 0x5ca8a000 0x2000 0x1000 com.apple.driver.AppleSMBusPCI (1.0.2d0) <14 5 4 3>
79 0 0x5c2b8000 0x9000 0x8000 com.apple.driver.AppleSMBusController (1.0.2d0) <30 14 13 5 4 3>
Then do a kextstat|grep AppleIntel in a terminal window, this to check whether one or multiple CPU type kexts are loaded – you should only see one! Here's an example:
89 0 0x5c6e5000 0x7000 0x6000 com.apple.driver.AppleIntelPenrynProfile (17) <71 6 4 3>
Just Chief
There's only one AppleIntel*Profile and thus it's ok.Ok, I do see the SMBus-devices, but kextstat -k | grep AppleIntel gives me all these three:
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement (90.0.0) <7 6 5 4 3 1>
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient (90.0.0) <7 6 5 4 3 1>
com.apple.driver.AppleIntelPenrynProfile (17) <69 6 4 3>
Does this mean that the kexts (LegacyACPI_SMC_PP.kext and LegacyAGPM.kext) are not loading properly?
