rongu Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi, Maybe this will help someone: I updated to 10.8.2 via combo updater, but couldn't boot past the gray startup screen, because of OemSMBIOS.kext. After replacing AppleACPIPlatform.kext with the old one from a previous post in this (or an other) thread, my system booted without any problems. Now, as I really don't like having legacy kexts on my system, I tried out various methods to allow me to keep the vanilla 10.8.2 AppleACPIPlatform.kext. The solution was quite easy and had a nice benefit to it. I installed Kozleks branch of FakeSMC + optional Kexts for sensors: https://github.com/kozlek/HWSensors Not only can I now boot with the original 10.8.2 AppleACPIPlatform.kext, without having OemSMBIOS.kext throwing an error, but I also get much more information from my hardware sensors opposed to the original FlakeSMC-Plugins I had been using. Furthermore a serial number is generated for my machine (so no problems with iCloud and Appstore) and VT-d can stay enabled in BIOS! Using the kexts from Kozlek was a win-win for me - thanks Kozlek!!! This is great but sadly it did not work out for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulighttec Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Ok, so, I tried running the update package, then installing the rollback ACPI kext *before* rebooting. That did make a difference, in that now, instead of a kernel panic, it just hangs on the PCI Configuration thing, regardless of safe boot, normal boot, npci=[insert value here], doesn't matter... just hangs at that point. The only thing I didn't add was NullCPUPowerManagement, because I didn't get an answer to my last inquiry about it. Since I have written my DSDT and configured my boot plist to use P-states and C-states, and since the DSDT tutorial advised me not to use it, I didn't want to put it in. Let me know if you want new screen shots. Thanks, LULightTec Shameless bump. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hey, Lulight! Sorry not to answer before. In fact, i pointed to the solutions i know. I'm really amazed it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'm using kozlek's version of fakesmc too And I upgraded successfully without replacing kexts other than some kexts that I always replace after upgrading or installing.

eep357 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 You're running your hack without fakesmc ? Not anymore, and it wasn't on purpose, but it ran surprisingly well without it, which is why I didn't even realize it for almost a week. Was running 10.8.1 at the time, most likely one of the developer preview but don't remember exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eep357 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I rebuild it, running RAID-0 so I keep an eye on it and make sure it rebuilds error free or else I can't boot at all. Keep in mind, I'm in no way recommending running without it, or even suggesting it's a slightly good idea and there are zero positive effects to doing so, no hardware monitoring for one and is just a bad idea. Many have booted without it at least once, like on first launch after a new install racing to install b4 a kernel panic. Maybe stars were just aligned properly, since unintentional I can't say much about other details as I wasn't looking and happened to be at a time I was very busy with other projects.

stellarola Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Confusingly, the version is still 1.6. But the binary inside has changed. I md5-summed the old and new ones to see for myself. Anyone who needed to rollback ACPIPlatform, are you using the ACPISensors or OemSMBIOS kexts? I'm just wondering what triggers the problem with the updated kext. I use Kozlek's HWSensors branch of FakeSMC but only with the CPU, GPU and MB sensor kexts. Confusingly, the version is still 1.6. But the binary inside has changed.

bcc9 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Guys, if you're seeing a vt-d error on your boot screen and the login window won't come up, then rather than rolling back AppleACPIPlatform.kext, you can update chameleon to my build with DropDMAR support and configure <key>DropDMAR</key> <string>Yes</string> in your org.chameleon.boot.Plist. My new build of /boot for chameleon is over here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282989-vtd0-fault-after-1082-google-hasnt-heard-of-it-any-help/#entry1866271 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
