Hey SuperHai!

 

Thanks for doing such a great job for the OSX86 community... and thanks for keeping us AMD users in mind... ;)

 

I tried this on my machine(Acer Aspire 5104wlmi, see signature), but the kext didn´t recognise my processor.

 

Here is the output of dmesg for GenericCPUPowerManagement:

 

GenericCPUPowerManagement: [Error] Unable to find a matching or supported cpu id in table

This morning i download the newest one again.

At least when sending personalities to kernel still have chance to log it for a moment before going crash.

With 4 p-state or 6 p-state i think it doesn't have different effect, just have a little time to logging before crash.

 

Superhai,

Wonder why at 1.0.19 with no proper value on p-states it doesn't drive my AMD become hang/crash.

But with 1.0.20 included several K10 things added, now my K8 always hang after change p-state on succesfull loading. From the log we can see the first request state 0C06 2000MHz succeed from phase I-IV, but the second request down to state 0212 1000MHz when debug phase II it become hang.

 

This behaviour like Kazuya ACPICPUThrottle for AMD , but his kext give me some more time around 30 minutes and several state changes before hang on last changing state.

Currently the most stable CPUThrottle kext, at least for me, is ObsidianX version.

 

Can we see the diff between your 1.0.19 and 1.0.20 ?

 

Thank you.

The latest kext works perfect when my laptop on AC, but not on battery. The max frequency is only 800Mhz (1600Mhz on AC), and the Voltage goes from 1150mV to 950mV (see attached picture)

Please note that I set min voltage to 712 and max to 750.

I installed your Kext on my Dell Mini 9 running 10.5.5 with what have labeled the Type11 Install method that uses Boot132 and the KEXT is installed on the hidden EFI partition.

 

I ran this command: sudo dmesg | grep GenericCPUPowerManagement

and got the following output

minitop9:~ jeffberg$ sudo dmesg | grep GenericCPUPowerManagement
GenericCPUPowerManagement: [Error] Unable to iterate over the CPU(s)

I also got this output

Now I'm getting back to 1.0.20 until it's fixed.

Thank you very much for your efforts.

Since many people might not have visited that forum and thus missed the announcment :

 

1.4.5 of IntelEnhancedSpeedStep is out (beta).

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=137666

 

Not posting a new thread cuz there is already one for it in that forum.

Pentium M users having problems with Superhai's kext are suggested to try this one instead, as my kext gets extensive testing for p-m.

It gave me a message says "wrong FSB detected, attempting to fix it" and no more messages showed.

Does that mean it works?

 

If it is the release version it should work just fine. But you should also look for a solution to your fsb problems...

I have created a command line app to control the kext. And new version of the gui app will be available during the week. But I will remind you again (and again) it will work without the app just fine. Check out also the first post.

Divide by zero is a not common, but much easier to fix. Will look at it. Also when posting panic info, the cpu registers are also important.

Yes? You must not patch it, it needs the cpuid to switch between k8 and k10.

i got a kernel panic after updating to the 1.1 ver., that works good for the previous one.

 

i couldn't post the screen atm, as i can't get it out from my phone.

 

so i will post it later if u need it.

 

thanks, superhai, for your work!

Any ideas for improvements? Tell me

 

Why don't make a simple prefpane instead of a App to config the behaviour of the kext ???

 

ACPI control doesn't work for me.. It came from my BIOS ? (But... What is the difference ????)

 

Also, limit function does'nt work, maybe i don't understand what i have to do with, but when i write 1167 or 1200 to limit at 1167 Mhz my proc on battery, it just stop throttling on new version (before not but it stucked at 1000 (minimal freq)), and it can stuck at 1500 if roc was at 1500 before unpluging...

 

Thanks for all your efforts man !

System working slower with 1.1 than with 1.0.20. Benching low in Geekbench and OpenGL Viewer (Test 2.1, which is cpu intensive).

Tested CPU with NFS Carbon too and it is no longer running smoothly. Thanks.

If you notice the "Frequency Highest" is being reported as 0x1f9 which is 505 MHz, when it actually should be 2500 MHz..... thanks
