Thanks and sorry breaking the rule #3!

i saw your work used by a lot of people in diferent comunities. Great Job.

I'm trying to compile revoboot for my hack, but i didn't get sucess..

I tried revobuilder, but i didn´t found the correct version of source. So, i run revobuilder to make the config, and copy the data.h files to the newest source code direcoty. After,i run make with default settings.h . Than i copied the boot file to my root disk, replacing the chameleon trunk version.

The hack startup with disc acess, but it didn't finish the osx load. Stops in apple logo screen.


So, I think you could answer my doubt... When i compile revoboot, the make command includes the ACPI extracting?

Does it work with ACPUPM from 10.6.8 ?

Does it work with ACPUPM from 10.6.8 ?

Haven't updated yet.

Mrmojo tells me that at least the version number is the same.

Cd /Users/NAMEOFYOURUSERS/Desktop
(Return)
./speedstepper /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement


If u don't understand what is ur NAMEOFYOURUSERS, try this

Extract speedstepper to your root HD,
Open terminal

Do u get it?

Thank you, ty,ty,ty!!!!!

I was told by MaLd0n to use this along with my custom dsdt.aml that he created. flAked, can you tell me what else I need to get speedstep working? I have a Asus G73SW laptop with Core I7 2630qm, hm65, gtx460, usb 3.0, alc0269. Not desktop computer. Can this work on my laptop?

[flAked]

No need to post the output here, it'll make the thread hard to read, thanks.

It's a SandyBridge laptop right? You'll need processor definitions in your dsdt and a correct ssdt_pr.

The current version of RevoBoot supports automatic creation of both of them, but this new method is still in testing and I haven't wrote a guide for it yet.

I don't have the time to step you through it, you need to do some reading: http://www.insanelym...howtopic=253642

Also see the threads in my sig, my knowledge base about setting up a SandyBridge system with RevoBoot is still in progress, though.

[lenovo3000]

Haven't updated yet.

Mrmojo tells me that at least the version number is the same.

Both the version number and file size are the same, but checksum differs. I started to manually patch AICPUPM from 10.6.8 with Hiew using diff as a reference, and it suddenly appeared, that offsets of all the relevant WRMSR opcodes remain unchanged.

Immediate experiment showed that current SpeedStepper does the job, no need for update (still may be worth to amend the description in the first post?)

Thanks a lot for your efforts, flAked

P.S. for lenovo laptop owners: ThinkPad BIOS also blocks write operations to 0xe2, confirmed with latest BIOS BITS 438, you have to use the patch to get native PM.

[flAked]

Thanks for the confirmation!

[Regi Yassin]

i have a problem with lion flAked, T_T

my speedstep doesnt works,
aicpupm loaded correctly,

here it is

ACPI_SMC_CtrlLoop::loadStepperContext - pmCPUControl (pmioctlPStateContext_t) failed, result = 0x16

is it problem with my dsdt / iMac12,2.plist in ioplatform?

[jeffc2009]

Thanks everyone, but I got it figured out. I had look for the closes laptop with core i7-2630qm and pop up the 15" mbp core i7 2635qm. So I changed my smbios to reflect 8, 2 instead of 8, 3 that I had used. Bam...

[flAked]

is it problem with my dsdt / iMac12,2.plist in ioplatform?

Hard to tell, I haven't seen the error on my DP4 installation. But I haven't installed the latest DP4 update yet, maybe they changed something.

Which brings me to the important point that it's still a preview version, so I won't spend time on investigating further errors until it comes out.

i tried with all DP,
DP 2, DP 3, DP4 , DP4 with the latest update,

all the same,
T_T

ok, waiting for the final version then

[Regi Yassin]

flAked, my problem solved,

with Lion latest DP, i have to use MacBookPro8,3 to get speedstep works,
and now its working,

its odd, isnt it?

[flAked]

I would not call that solving, using iMac12 definition for desktop SandyBridge is preferred.

They changed the stepper program in SMC_PlatformPlugin and all along I only had 1 p-state + 4 turbo in Lion.

So either they will update it once again for release, we are missing something or we will mod the plist to use the old stepper program.

[Cristiano Possa]

Works like a charm on Asus P8H61M-LE B3 Revision - Processor Core i5 2400 3.1Ghz.

BUUUUUUT...

I'm tested on Geekbench and the score was 4770. Using NullCPUPM achieved 8910 no Same smbios.plist http://browse.geekbe...ch2/view/432582

[WindowsKaput]

When will version for 166.0.0? for worker PM, just enough to apply this patch, there is initially dsdt processor section and it is working, it lacks only the working AIСPUPM. Works at P8P67 and P8Z68.
sorry for my english

[flAked]

@Christiano: check with MSRDumper if the highest P-States are getting reached, maybe something else is mis-configured. SpeedStepper only solves the KP!

@WindowsKaput: is 166.0.0 part of the GM just released?
