AppleRTC can be patched without moving it by changing the path

sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x75\x30\x89\xd8|\xeb\x30\x89\xd8|' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleRTC.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleRTC

And loads fine and also included in kernel cache which can't be done from /Extra. Fixes possible sleep issues, but personally have not seen this impact ACPI one way or another, stock AppleACPIPlatform only causes large boot delay for me however and not a KP, so maybe a difference there

Wait a minute there have you actually Patched your AppleRTC in your current System in the /S/L/E path?

Because it does not work, I tried it personally several time and someone pointed out in the original AppleRTC bin patch thread that it also didn't work for them and they had to put it patched in the /E/E path

If you have 1.5v ram, don't worry about it, it's probably already set fine. Run with NullCPUPowerManagement for a day and see if it remains stable, then if it does, can look into properly enabling native power management and speedstep, maybe even sleep too

Yep! The system still running now without any reset... so definitly much more stable, server.app running with some of the services actived, so now this is a big change. I'll see if with some reboot it stay stable to confirm.

But what do you mean by enabling native power and speedstep? Is it worth or better leave the system as actual?

Yup, booting RAID-0 so I can't load extensions from /Extra anyway, they have to be cached. But if you wan't, for kicks, you can use pacafist with a certain beast product and see that the script used in it to patch AppleRTC is exactly the same and uses the exact same path, I won't post it here, but if you open it in Pacafist and got to resources, its inside multi-9.pkg(package name could change, but this was it in the one I just looked at, version for ML), inside a folder called scripts.

pepegonzales-it's up to you, I think sleep is over rated but like to have every thing working, speed step I really like because it lowers cpu clock when idle, saves power and makes less heat. But I have overclock that I wouldn't want running full speed 24/7, where as with stock speeds maybe not as important. Take a couple days to play with it first, it's not going anywhere.

Thanx a lot eep357!!! I'll take a look on these next days and surely will give a try! (but first a little image disk of the whole system before destroying it and looking for usefull informations

Gosh... nice built... and really nice tower. This build looks gorgeous!

Just installed ml 10.8.2 things where great except QE/CI on my gt 430, after digging around i managed to put the gfx running. But for some weir reason i only have the GFX working full QE/CI if i set UseKernelCache to yes. ANd if i do this all my drives shows as external.

Any toughts?

[eep357]

Thanks bro!

I'm at a loss, I simply can't seem to figure this problem out.

System:

Asus P6TD Deluxe  Bios 0608 (Latest)
I've checked all the settings, CStep, SpeedStep, etc.   Drive is set to AHCI, brand new SSD installed, SATA based DVD-Rom, using ports 1 and 2 on the onboard controller (Not the Marvell one)
6GB Ram
NVidia 460 GTX 1GB Video

I have an original 10.7.0 app store image, and the 10.7.1 Upgrade dmg file (I've tried doing a default Lionize 1.0.7 run, selecting option 2 for my motherboard), I've also tried using the latest DSDT that was built for newer versions of lion.   I've tried with/without all of the options during the Lionize script (ie: Cuda / iTunes update)

I selected 1024x768 and 1920x1200 as my resolution during the Lionize process.

My results are always the same.

I've tried -v, -v -x, and -v npci=0x2000 and every combination of that with GraphicsEnabler yes/no.

The system starts booting off the USB stick, and the moment the screen turns gray and the apple logo appears, my machine reboots.   It doesn't matter what I do, what version of Lion I use, or what settings I do, the results are the same, the moment the gray screen appears, system reboots.

I set the BIOS to defaults, and enabled all the options others have done, same results.  I'm at a complete loss at what to try next.   This should be fairly simple, it's a text book P6TD Deluxe board, with the right settings, and a simple SSD + DVD-Rom drive.

I've also tried disconnecting the DVD-Rom drive and the SSD, and just having the USB Stick, and still the same issue.

I took a video of it booting in verbose mode, and the very last line I see before it reboots is:

Boot Args: boot-uuid:DDA121BC-3CAD-3259-A1F6-AD9B7D9EDB01 rd=*uuid -v

Then flash to gray screen, instant reboot.

Any suggestions here guys?

[eep357]

check bios for Max CPUID Value Limit and make sure it's set to disabled. HD and or DVD in intel sata 2 ports. Boot using -x -f -v

Thanks eep357, it works!

Now i have my system working much faster then with Lion

[Flash2k6]

Thanks for the assistance, I figured it out.   Turns out I dragged the wrong .app onto the USB Stick (I must have mis-clicked when creating the Boot drive and grabbed Mountain Lion, not Lion) .. stupid me.  Fixed that, and viola works perfectly now.

4: USB: before install, I use the package for the LAN from: http://lnx2mac.blogs...osx-driver.html (had problem before on step configuration of the system).
5: USB: before install, backup and install of ATI Radeon 6450 HD Fix for Mountain kext.
6: DISK: install from USB.

10: DISK: mounted back: boot from USB, DISK selected, system started and configure without any problem. (except Graphics not recognize and generic 3mb instead, then all original ATi kext were replaced, and now is recognized as a AMD 6xxx HD 1Gb: VGA not working well, HDMI perfect)

11: System configuration: Energy savings: no sleep on both.

12: Later, when starting to install stuff of configurating time machine, Reset problem came back
13: DISK: Original appleRTC.kext patched

sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x75\x30\x89\xd8|\xeb\x30\x89\xd8|' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleRTC.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleRTC

14: No change: Reset problem still there.
15: DISK: NullPCIPowerManagement.kext installed.
16: The next boot with NullPCI is more stable, allowed me to install the server.app and configurate it... but when crashed again during time machine. But on reboot, the gained stability disappear...
16: No change: Reset problem still there or more problematic, got freezes also now.

The Ram is not detected as 1333Mhz but as a thousand and something.
I'm trying to get a console message (I suppose I'll be able to find something with the freeze) but it crashes before I get there... trying to at the moment.

If I don't login, it stay more stable... is it a problem from my graphics card? If it's a hardware problem, why am I able to install the whole system, configure it without any reset or freeze,... looks like I forgot something somewhere or do something terribly wrong.

Please help!

EDIT: gonna try to put my 2 Ram on the other channel... same result.
EDIT: AppleACPIPlatform.kext for fast boot applied. Boot faster... problem unsolved.

EDIT: kernel panic: this time I had time to get the information:

TLB invalidation IPI Time out. CPU(s) failed to respond to imterrupts, unresponsive CPU bitmap: 0x41, NMIP acks,...

[Flash2k6]

One thing I'm noticing, and I don't know if this is normal or if there is a fix, but after installing Lion on my Asus machine, my DVD-Rom drive randomly makes the noise like it's resetting itself, as if I put a CD in and it's starting it's initial reading of the disc.  The drive light flashes a few times, then stops.   I can hear the motor go through it's initialization process (like when putting a disc in or rebooting the machine).

It does it frequently.  Is there a fix for this, or is this just normal?

take this out of boot option "- DropSSDT yes."

for ram, in terminal type: bdmesg
and look through list and see if Chameleon detected it properly

If it's a SATA drive, try the AHCI injector I uploaded a few posts before. I included every SATA controller I could find on PCI ID database all with proper naming according to PCI ID db, some of which I've yet to see on a hackintosh yet, but just incase. But also has blockstorage injector to make DVD drive show as built-in/internal in OSX, fixing DVD player and keyboard eject keys along with orange icons for hard disks. It may not fix it, depends on why it's spinning up.

- DropSSDT desactivated.
- RAM: when Chameleon start, it's indicating 1069Hz and not 1333 as it should.

Thanx for your help!

Your base clock is at 133, so looks like memory multiplier is at 8 and you need to up it to 10 in bios, however I would recommend leaving it where it is and doing this instead:

In bios up your base clock to 166 and drop your CPU multiplier from 21(or auto) down to 19. This will also put your RAM at 1333 while putting CPU at 3.15ghz, a very mild overclock that won't require any extra cooling or voltage configuration, everything else can stay on auto. Your CPU will thank you for letting it out of it's cage a bit.

And, do your self a favor a pick up a triple channel set of ram, they're so inexpensive right now, and prices tend to cycle up and down. http://www.newegg.co...=Desktop-Memory . Shoot, get 2 if you can

eep357:  Tried your AHCI injector, no change on the DVD-Rom drive randomly initializing/scanning.   But thanks for the suggestion!

Is there a way that I can monitor this somehow to see what's actually happening, in a log file or something?

console>all messages

Also, even though problem is likely unrelated, here is how drive should show up to have full functions as an internal DVD, done via injector, as well as corrected sata controller names just for looks
