Many users install PowerManagement.bundle and is happy. But not all! As mine.

I found some new condition.
Edit IOSMBusFamily.kext/info,plist to have

CODE

    <key>IOKitPersonalities</key>
    <dict>
        <key>IOSMBusController</key>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
            <string>com.apple.iokit.IOSMBusFamily</string>
            <key>IOClass</key>
            <string>IOSMBusController</string>
            <key>IOPCIClassMatch</key>
            <string>0x0c050000&0xffff0000</string>
            <key>IOProviderClass</key>
            <string>IOPCIDevice</string>
        </dict>
    </dict>

It works!

QUOTE

| | | | "compatible" = <"pci144d,b028","pci1002,4353","pciclass,0c0500">
| | | | "name" = "pci1002,4353"
| | | | }
| | | |
| | | +-o IOSMBusController <class IOSMBusController, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain count 4>
| | | {
| | | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory"
| | | "IOClass" = "IOSMBusController"
| | | "IOProviderClass" = "IOPCIDevice"
| | | "CFBundleIdentifier" = "com.apple.iokit.IOSMBusFamily"
| | | "IOPCIClassMatch" = "0x0c050000&0xffff0000"
| | | "IOProbeScore" = 0x0
| | | }

Then I need to delete AppleACPIEC.kext from AppleACPIPlatform.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
Why? Don't know exactly but the kext prevents SMBus to work.
Before I have

QUOTE

| | +-o AppleACPIBattery <class AppleACPIBattery, registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain count 121>
| | | {
| | | "Battery Present" = No
| | +-o AppleACPIBatteryHub <class AppleACPIBatteryHub, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain count 6>
| | {
| | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory"
| | "IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=0x0,"Amperage"=0x0,"Current"=0x0,"Voltage"=0x0,"Flags"=0x0})

Now I have

QUOTE

| | +-o AppleACPIBattery <class AppleACPIBattery, registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain count 9>
| | | {
| | | "Battery Present" = Yes
| | | "Battery Status" = (0x0,0x0,0xc80,0x30cf)
| | | "Battery Information" = (0x1,0x1130,0xc80,0x1,0x2b5c,0x0,0x60,0x1,0x1,"","","LION","SAMSUNG Electronics")
| | +-o AppleACPIBatteryHub <class AppleACPIBatteryHub, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain count 6>
| | {
| | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODefaultMatchCategory"
| | "IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=0xc80,"Amperage"=0x0,"Current"=0xc80,"Voltage"=0x30cf,"Flags"=0x5})

Now powermanagement.bundle from keithpk really works for me and show battery status.

Hey all, I stumbled across this thread:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...114105&st=0

I managed to get it working but I missed something so I had to redo my system. I'm going to play with it some more.

I have not find SMBus in your config ( "class-code" = <00050c00>)!
Try other solutions.

Hey slice,

Where do you get those reports where you start with | | |

Also, in the plist, do you actually replace the xml tags with yours or just replace the "IOKitPersonalities" portion of it?

thanks
