LowRidinCrew Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hi, I receive a panic at the end of each update. I don't do the automatic update, I download it. I have the Gateway NV7915u (Intel i3 330M) Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Is this during the update or on the first boot following the update? Try booting with CPUS=1 -v after updating. If there's a KP post a photo again. What model identifier are you using? Just to confirm, this is on a laptop with i3 CPU and not the hardware in your signature, right?

Yes, I'm using the i3 Laptop (Gateway NV7915u) and what do you mean by model identifier and I tried that and got this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yeah that didn't work...now it just panics on CPU 0 instead of CPU 3. Yes, I'm using the i3 Laptop (Gateway NV7915u) and what do you mean by model identifier http://lmgtfy.com/?q=model+identifier&n=1 Try using a model identifier from a macbook with nehalem CPU. Use the forum search/google to find out which model identifier other people with similar hardware are using. Model identifier and other DMI data goes in /Extra/smbios.plist.

LowRidinCrew Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Oh ok, the closest thing I found was this http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac...2010-specs.html My notebook came out around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 It doesn't matter what year it came out. Try to find a mac laptop with nehalem CPU. It's important for power management to work correctly that you use a laptop model identifier. Once you have it, google "macmodelx,y DMI" (without the quotes) to find the info you need for smbios.plist. As an example (don't use this!) from googling "macbook6,1 DMI" among the hits would be this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/g...ger/+bug/615812 Where you would find the DMI data (useless info stripped) for /Extra/smbios.plist: dmi.bios.date: 03/15/10 dmi.bios.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.bios.version: MB61.88Z.00C8.B02.1003151501 dmi.board.name: Mac-F22C8AC8 dmi.board.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.product.name: MacBook6,1 dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: Apple Inc. As I said this is just an example, find one that matches well with your CPU, if it matches other stuff like your video card it's a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRidinCrew Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 The only nehalem is the desktops no laptops that i see http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_...alem-specs.html It also says mid 2010 they came out but i only see http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macb...body-specs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Right so that means MacBookPro6,2 - of which there are three vaguely different models: http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-looku...s=MacBookPro6,2 Now google 'MacBookPro6,2 DMI', find a linux bug report site like in my example above and pull your smbios.plist info from there.

Gringo Vermelho Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Nothing, it doesn't have the information you need. 2nd hit on Google (with google language prefs set to English): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/635442 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRidinCrew Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 ok so i would use dmi.bios.date: 07/26/10 dmi.bios.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.bios.version: MBP61.88Z.0057.B0C.1007261552 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag# dmi.board.name: Mac-F22586C8 dmi.board.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.board.version: MacBookPro6,2 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.chassis.version: Mac-F22586C8 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAppleInc.:bvrMBP61.88Z.0057.B0C.1007261552:bd07/26/10:svnAppleInc.:pnMacBookPro6,2:pvr1.0:rvnAppleInc.:rnMac-F22586C8:rvrMacBookPro6,2:cvnAppleInc.:ct10:cvrMac-F22586C8: dmi.product.name: MacBookPro6,2 dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: Apple Inc.

Gringo Vermelho Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yes, exactly. Except you can't just paste that into a text file and name it smbios.plist. google/forum search smbios.plist to learn what a proper one should look like. Also refer to the example I posted earlier, those particular parts are all you need from the DMI data. Then you can use Lizard to make a "real" fake serial number, or follow the guide at Prasys' blog, google 'Prasys serial number' to find it. Note that I'm not promising that this will fix your issues but whatever happens it's certainly worth trying. The thing is that OS X loads a power management profile based on model identifier, so loading one for the best possible matching hardware will surely help with *something*.

LowRidinCrew Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 How do I do this on Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 plist files are .xml formatted files, so you can use an xml editor. Be careful not to mess up the formatting, this can cause "unexpected behavior" such as the .plist not being read at all. I am on Windows right now with no access to my OS X partition, otherwise I would attach an smbios.plist for you to edit. I'm sure you can find one in no time using the forum search, then just edit that with the information you have. Depending on your install method, maybe you have one in your /Extra folder already. EDIT Here's one: MacPro3_1smbios.plist.zip Once you're done post your smbios.plist here and I'll check for you if everything looks okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRidinCrew Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Ok, I tried it and got this I think this may be a step closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Then again, it may also be a step farther. At least something different happened. Sorry I don't have any other ideas, hopefully someone else can help. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRidinCrew Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks appreciate it. I think im going to do a clean install and try something different. I actually think its tied in with the Integrated Intel 5700 HD graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
