Look for USBs

they appear as integrated?

Use this DSDT and see

 

LPC works natively?

With that DSDT I get:

-Orange Icons

-USB detected as "Built-in USB"

-HDDs detected as "Intel ICH10 AHCI"

 

What's the "official" LPC test? I get three checkbox options in sys prefs (all checked), AppleLPC appears in IOReg, and kextstat gives me com.apple.driver.AppleLPC. Does this mean it's "working"?

 

I'm about to try sleep, I'll post the results back.

 

 

Sleep is the same as before: it immediately (as in within 2s) goes all off, and if I press a mouse button or the powerbutton, the lights come on, the fans spin up, but in 1s it reboots.

dont use ESB2, use kext

 

go to Energy saver and select "Start up automatically after a power failure"

try it

Sorry about adding that as a reply, I thought you might not get a notification of my edit and was trying to keep the thing clean; I'll revert it in a sec.

I have "Start up automatically..." checked (and always have).

What do you mean by "don't use ESB2, use kext". From what I understood:

you want to edit your DSDT so that you get ICH10R detected as ESB2 so that you don't get orange icons, and it doesn't affect the functionality of SATA (except you loose the ability to hotswap, I guess).

Man, I'd truly appreciate it if you gave some more detailed responses, I never get what you really want me to do!

In this case: I use that DSDT, add those kexts and check IOReg and do/check for what?

 

I also just noticed I lost audio with that DSDT (not the latest, the previous one, but since this latest one doesn't have a Device (HDEF either, I'm guessing I won't get audio either. I'm rebuilding caches and will reboot.

use two kexts

ioAHCI --> fix orange icon

 

AHCIport..

in your case AHCI ICH10..

if runs natively

do not use this kext

 

my english sucks

sorry

what codec?

 

Yes, ICH10R runs natively, so I should remove AHCIport?

The codec is some weird variant of ALC889a, I've gotten it to work with most ALC889a edits thou.

Don't worry about the english, but you'll have to put up with me asking evereything twice

What I don't get is where all this is going related to sleep... that's the only real problem I was having.

which work natively you need not change

apply only the necessary

No sleep, no shutdown

send me a kextstat, run on terminal

kextstat

 

Shutdown and restart works? without kext?

If you read further on you will see that shutdown is working, and that the only issue remaning is really sleep.

the logs say anything of sleep ? reason ?

[Gringo Vermelho]

If you read further on you will see that shutdown is working, and that the only issue remaning is really sleep.

Don't bite the hand that feeds. He's asking you because the changes he made to your DSDT can affect shutdown. Not because he can't read!

What's with the carpet bombing? Don't install FakeSMC plugins for sensors that you don't have.

 

You can use HWMonitor (google it) on Windows to see which sensor chips your motherboard has.

-------------------------------------------

this motherboard is very compatible

many patches he uses are not needed

the problem could be there, but really to no avail

 

@adrian95

use codebox

[skysea76]

@MaLd0n: sorry if I was rude man, I didn't mean to, and I've been having a hard time lately: I'm usually not in the best of moods.

@LatinMcGyver75, no, the logs don't say anything about sleep.

@Gringo Vermelho: I just installed SuperIO.kext (which has the kexts for all of those sensors, I don't know why they're being loded, as I think I only have an IT8720F, I'll check with HWMonitor). Should I delete the other plugins (supposing I check and do only have an IT8720F?).

 

Sorry I took so long to respond, It's been a crazy couple of days (tomorrow is my BD , yay!?)

 

Edit 1

As far as shutdown goes, it seems to work fine with the latest DSDT MaLd0n supplied.

 

Edit 2

Thanks for introducing me to HWMonitor, I can see it's a great and very useful app.

It reports two "Hardware Monitors", one from my MB and one from the GPU (ITE IT87 and NVIDIA NVAPI respectively). It also gives me several SMB devices (what are these?). I'll attach the two output files so that you guys can look at them directly.

[Gringo Vermelho]

You should correct your signature now that shutdown is working.

Should I delete the other plugins (supposing I check and do only have an IT8720F?).

Yes, definitely. I'm not saying they can or will cause problems but it's good practice to eliminate unnecessary stuff when troubleshooting.

Let's see if I understood:

SMBus (a subset of I2C) and LPC are buses, ie, standards for transmitting data. They usually connect low power devices (notably, super I/O chips, that monitor hardware and provide some other basic functions, such as power signals) to the motherboard.

Super I/O chips are chips that control a bunch of "low level" things in computers, and what interests us is power signaling (shutdown, restart, sleep).

 

So from what I can gather from this: what I need to get working well on my MB is the Super I/O chip, which is what would be preventing me from sleeping correctly.

[Gringo Vermelho]

As far as I know, in our case, the SuperIO is only used for hardware monitoring via fakesmc and its plugins. I've never heard of anybody doing anything to any of the SMBus kernel extensions in order to get sleep working. Your kextstat output shows that they are loaded, which means you don't need this DSDT edit, or that you already have it: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=685

 

Sleep not working can be caused by many things, video card drivers, USB, model identifier used, conflicting drivers or configuration settings etc etc.

 

The more hardware you can get working in a compatible, mac-like way, the better are your chances of working S3 sleep.

 

According to your kextstat output you have AppleLPC.kext loaded, which is a requirement for native CPU power management. S3 sleep is a power state (as is shut down, which is working for you now). This is a good start.

 

Here you can read about how to activate CPU power management with Chameleon 2.0 RC5:

I made this checklist a while back, it's not complete and some of the info is probably not 100% correct nor necessary. Anyway

Yeah, I was using that edit in my dsdt. I saw that it's also included in MaLd0n's DSDT, so I don't know if shutdown would work without that. With my "untouched" DSDT, I'm 99% sure it didn't.

 

As far as that checklist goes:

Yes, since I got GenerateCStates and GeneratePStates working, I have removed speedsteping info from my DSDT. So the only difference with the original is the removal of the Alias stuff from Scope (_PR).

All three kexts are loading.

I'm using the 10.6.6 vanilla kernel, and have an x58+i7.

I've tried with MacPro3,1 , 4,1 and 5,1. They all seem to work fine, but I get no sleep. What model identifier do you recommend? I've read mixed reviews about 4,1, info on 5,1 is scarce, 3,1 seems to be the standard. I haven't experimented with iMac identifiers.

[Gringo Vermelho]

You can leave the CPU aliases in as well, it's not necessary to remove them when running Snow Leopard.

 

You should use either MacPro3,1 or a model identifier from a Mac that has a Nehalem Core ix CPU like yours.

 

Model identifier normally also affects video card power management via AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext. google/forum search for more info.

 

Go to the nvidia website and download and install the latest OS X drivers. Don't worry about video card model, the drivers are universal.

 

Try to find posts by other people with X58/ICH10 based boards and see what they have done to get S3 sleep working. All hacks are different but if there are special fixes for X58 that other people use, then you can use them too.

I can't offer any further advice other than this: Search and read until your eyes bleed. Then take a break and search and read some more.

I'll be making a new DSDT, with minimal edits.

 

Nvidia doesn't offer newer drivers for my GPU, but they do for the GTX 240 for example, should I try these? Nvidia page

 

I swear I've searched all I can, I've had this issue for some time now... but I haven't been able to find any fix that works (as you can see by my DSDT, I've tried a lot of them).

[Gringo Vermelho]

I have to say this because you're doing it in almost every post - there is no reason to quote an entire post in your reply, especially when you're replying directly below it. It clutters up the forum and destroys readability.

And why make everybody read the same thing twice. Quoting is for quoting - like this:

Nvidia doesn't offer newer drivers for my GPU, but they do for the GTX 240 for example

Read my post again, a little more carefully this time.

[skysea76]

Read my post again, a little more carefully this time.

Yeah, I got you the first time around, I was just double checking

[skysea76]

The latest Nvidia drivers (I found some late 2010 ones) didn't change anything.

Any more ideas Gringo?

[Gringo Vermelho]

Other than what I recommended already, I got nothing. Good luck.

Thanks for trying man, I've learnt quite a bit with your help.

Do you think it would be bad practice to re-post my issue on some other OSx86 forum, or would it be OK? I probably won't get answers anyways, and will have to live sleepless, but it can't hurt to try...

[LatinMcG]

find a dsdt with sleep working for a similar mobo then compare them test them on chameleon boot type -v DSDT=hd(0,2)/Extra/test.aml

0,2 being the OS drive . the hidden EFI is 0,1
