right so there .amls so you have compiled them ready to go? adding darwin to windows?

what i am able to establish is that a dsdt is giving windows or linux information about my hardware by default. again this is an educated guess, if my bios is able to interact with the dsdt that normally is found in windows or linux then it will communicate hardware details (even if no drivers are installed). (do apple machines have dsdt?) a hackentosh would ideally suit the use of a dsdt over kexts because this increases the ability for compatibility 10 fold because. i imagine that a hackentosh dsdt is not entirely compatible straight away and therefor a dsdt must either be edited to trick osx into thinking its apple hardware, or it makes osx accept non apple hardware (im not really sure which way it is).

now like you said, you added darwin to windows 2009 (not sure what that means but i guess it means my bios thinks its injecting info to windows but its not really, its actually sending it to chameleon and then on to osx in its booted state? thought im not sure what windows 2009 is. i hope this guess work is close to correct?

furthering this. both dsdts seem to cause an instant reboot. i have a video that i will upload shortly. looks like a simple problem.

one more thing to mention, im not using windows at all, i have a fat partition that will be ubuntu but at the moment is internal storage incase things go wrong.

ACPI interacts different for windows xp = 2001 and windows vista =2006 and 7 = 2009.
find Windows 2006 in dsdt an youl see if it matches to Darwin as os identifier then it matches 0x07D6 win 7 is 0x07D9

do apple machines have dsdt .. yes all machines have it as part of bios tables.

does one dsdt react different than other ?

the reboots might be the min/max fixed length "Error" that gets fixed and makes it worse

oh i get it so windows vista manages its power in the same way as Darwin. that's simple. so that must mean that osx will use ACPI table that matches vista. therfore does this mean all my hardwhere compnents now have the potential to work as they should? for example screen is always on full brightness, and cannot be changed.

what i hope dsdt will fix
Ethernet doesn't work.
usb3 causes panic or just doesnt work (nec kect dont fix)
sd card slot senses sd cards but cannot "initialize disk"
speakers do work with apple hda but may be receiving wrong power imput as they produce crackle or fragmented sound. i now know that voodhda and apple hda produce similar results.
speedstep would be great but i have no idea what im doing.
i would love to simply update to 10.6.8 but there seems to be panics and problems

About the instant restart, This is a snapshot from a video. it shows the bit before darwin where chameleon is loading. notice the cpu0 - cpu7 found! this is what happens with your non Darwin tweaked one too. The image has been inverted to make it more readable.

/Extra/Extensions.mkext ??
cached kexts

[Acro_Design]

yes i think thats what it is? mkext

the mod cd generated it along with the basic kexts it thought my system needed.

there doesn't appear to be any reason why its rebooting like this. obviously its the dsdt thats causing it.

[LatinMcG]

i think its the dsdt editor min max range issue in errors.. compare dsdtse to dsdt editor original non mod dsdt.
the address range might have to be left alone and compiled with older iasl = dsdtse

[Acro_Design]

okay and thank you i will have a look.

[Acro_Design]

Im on lion now so i will give it another try.

i noticed that i seem to be experiencing a kp after about 3 boots from fresh install. the kp lets me boot but afterwards this kp it messes up my graphics, sets it to unknown. i remain able to change res but get artifacts and alike. not sure what to do really.

[LatinMcG]

that seems as LPC or EC arent shutting down.. try the RTC reset patch.
downgrade bios ?upgrade ?

[Acro_Design]

I knew it! Ha ha no I didnt but I know somethings not right. I have made a New topic that is probably more helpfull to other users with similar systems. it also contains a full log of the boot process. Your dsdt is loading and booting with lion but it looks like theres a lot of errors

[LatinMcG]

i made it in 5 min. it needs to be redone.
