RevoBoot

octopus_new · June 23, 2011

I have tried Revoboot, but still no luck . I think SSDT_PR has been added properly, but only got 4 PState. If I use Chameleon and no dsdt or any other table, I can get 7 PState. both above situation can not get MAX turbo ratio. My Processor is 2600k, if I put Turbo Ratio to AUTO in bios, the Max PState is 37, I think it should be 38, right??

Could anybody share a setting.h file for me?

Thanks very much!

Have you tried to use a SSDT_PR taken from this thread?

Could anybody share a setting.h file for me?

You should familiarise yourself with the options in the long run to make a custom one for your system and preference.

For example mrmojo is using static usb injection, so you would need to use that as well or you get possible errors on boot.

You could also use the new automatic SSDT_PR generation, which I'm using. That gives you the freedom to choose different settings in UEFI without the need to edit and compile SSDT_PR every time.

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

@mrmojo: have you tried the new RevoBoot with this https://github.com/RevoGirl/RevoBoot/wiki/E...e-advanced-SSDT ?

The idea is to use the factory DSDT and rename / add required devices by using one single SSDT.

You want the following settings with the new version:

AUTOMATIC_SSDT_PR_CREATION	= 7 (this will also add SBUS and processor definitions)
OVERRIDE_ACPI_METHODS = 1

You can remove the DSDT, SSDT_PR and static SSDT_USB and just use the new SSDT in /Exra/ACPI/SSDT.aml

This feature is currently in testing, before people ask.

Added a new mini-guide "How to convert the GraphicsEnabler to Little Endian" in the second post.

Raulllll · June 24, 2011

Trying to get this working.

Compiles fine but wont boot up.

How do you enable verbose mode (not the debug options).

Can i use a video card bios (Extracted with gpu-z in windows, saved as .bin file), converted to correct format with flAked's command.

Output comes out a lot bigger than device-properties way.

flAked · June 24, 2011

Press 'v' at boot time or edit the original com.apple.Boot.plist in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

I think you are mixing something up here, this is meant for EFI device injection only.

VBIOS loading is a Chameleon feature, if I'm not mistaken.

Raulllll · June 25, 2011

OK got it to boot.

Cant get it to find the pre-linked-kernel though.

Also using blackosx revobuilder can only compile using static cpu info, guess thats because the settings.h file is newer than revobuilder.

flAked · June 25, 2011

mrmojo might help with the pre-linked kernel, I didn't use one yet. Support must be compiled in, you'll find it in settings.h.

RevoBuilder is not up-to-date to the latest changes, better configure it manually.

The Edge3000 · June 26, 2011

Any way to change/see what partition it is defaulting to? The UUIDs listed in debug mode do not match those any of my disks. I don't know if these UUIDs are static or if chameleon sets these.

Also, I get debug output up until:

execkernel-5
execkernel-5
execkernel-7 / gVerboseMode is false
Sleeping for 6 seconds...

which are referenced in the final lines of boot.c. From trying to read the source (my programing experience is limited) I assume this means the bootloader found the kernel and is in the process of initializing it. The output earlier already said it was unable to find a prelinked kernel, even though I specified this option during compilation (for 10.7).

After this point the system reboots instantly.

Also, I saw some references to kext loading in the source- does this bootloader pull from the usual Extra/Extensions of chameleon? I know in order to use the prelinked kernel kexts like FakeSMC need to be in S/L/E for this to work, but haven't gotten around to doing this yet.

flAked · June 26, 2011

The UUID is unique for every disk, until you reformat/repartition it.

You can set the UUID in com.apple.Boot.plist in /L/P/S (see above).

For Lion you need to

make clean; make lion

blackosx · June 26, 2011

I've updated RevoBuilder to generate a settings.h file compatible with RevoBoot 1.0.21. Link

I'm sure there's a lot more than can be done in time to improve RevoBuilder but for now it should give users a helping hand with the initial setup. It's also worth mentioning that the RevoBoot wiki pages have been updated over the last week or so and go some way to give more about using the bootloader (example).

mrmojorisin17 · June 28, 2011

Dou you have correctly created it?

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

kextcache -system-caches

kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel

Naturally you have to put all the kexts in S/L/E.

Working now.

Couple of reboots and it picked it up.

dantesieg · July 1, 2011

EDIT: solved, i was making a small mistake on PinConfiguration injection. But Revoboot generates non-working PinConfiguration, i solved it by using the one from Chameleon.

I'm using Revoboot 1.0.21. I finally found a way to patch AppleHDA, so i added this code to my dsdt:

 Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                 {
                     Store (Package (0x0C)
                         {
                             "codec-id", 
                             Buffer (0x04)
                             {
                                 0x72, 0x02, 0xEC, 0x10
                             }, 
                             "built-in", 
                             Buffer (One)
                             {
                                 0x00
                             }, 
                             "layout-id", 
                             Buffer (0x04)
                             {
                                 0x0C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                             }, 
                             "model", 
                             Buffer (0x0F)
                             {
                                 "Realtek ALC272"
                             }, 
                             "device_type", 
                             Buffer (0x07)
                             {
                                 "alc272"
                             }, 
                             "PinConfigurations", 
                             Buffer (One)
                             {
                                 0x00
                             }
                         }, Local0)
                     DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                     Return (Local0)
                 }

I booted using my usb stick with chameleon and it worked fine. Then i used Revobuilder to compile boot file, restarted, but sound didn't work. When i looked into IOReg i saw PinConfigurations is different with Chameleon and Revoboot. Then i tried adding efi strings but that didn't work with Revoboot. I even tried adding Chameleon's PinConfigurations to my dsdt or efi but that didn't work too.

Screen%20shot%202011-07-01%20at%2007.38.43.png

Left side Revoboot, other one Chameleon.

What can be causing this? Thanks for helping.

flAked · July 1, 2011

RevoBoot doesn't generate any EFI injections!

RevoBuilder uses the current injections and stores that into data.h that get's compiled into RevoBoot.

Booting with Chameleon and then running RevoBuilder is the correct method to get some auto-generated device-properties. I'm not sure why they differ once you boot wit RB.

dantesieg · July 1, 2011

RevoBoot doesn't generate any EFI injections!

I know that, i just mean when i use "PinConfigurations" "0x00" in dsdt with both bootloaders, they give me different "outputs" like in the pictures. But it is not an important thing i think, at least for now.

blackosx · July 1, 2011

But Revoboot generates non-working PinConfiguration, i solved it by using the one from Chameleon.

Are you using static data for your DSDT? if so, can you try loading your DSDT.aml file at boot time?

You'll need to make the following changes to settings.h:

#define STATIC_DSDT_TABLE_INJECTION to 0

#define LOAD_DSDT_TABLE_FROM_EXTRA_ACPI to 1

and then add the same DSDT.aml you use for Chameleon in to /Extra/ACPI/ in your RevoBoot drive.

Thanks for help blackosx. Yes i use static dsdt. But i tried that too, same thing happens. DHP explained in there what is PinConfiguration but i don't understand what causes the difference between bootloaders.

nforcemac · July 3, 2011

For sure, will give it ago when I get back from work.

Pulled code down in a sperate directory. Copied my relevant data.h (EFI, SMBOIS and CPU) into the correct locations. Made the relevant changes to settings. Compiled and boom not a problems...

Which is really strange as the when I diff the two directorys they are identical

Any how, Now booting to the desktop in about 3 seconds!

Thanks for the info Nforce, I will try that too, will update here if works.

Nforce could you explain how you did?

Is not working for me, I downloaded the source code from RevoBuilder, and RevoBulider put inside:

/RevoBuilder/RevoBoot_SourceCode/RevoBoot-1.0.21

When I choose Compile I had this error:

 -MD -dependency-file /Volumes/Documentos/RevoBuilder/RevoBoot_SourceCode/RevoBoot-1.0.21/obj/i386/boot2/bootlogo.d

make[2]: *** [bootlogo.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Compilation of RevoBoot for LION Failed.

EDIT 2 SOLUTION:

OK, I discover what is happen!

RevoBuilder put this in Settings.h:

#define STATIC_SCREEN_WIDTH 2560 1920

#define STATIC_SCREEN_HEIGHT 1600 1200

I think it's because I had 2 monitors connected to the same video card, I just needed to edit:

#define STATIC_SCREEN_WIDTH 2560

#define STATIC_SCREEN_HEIGHT 1600

And the error gone.
