I wouldn't think so, but you could cross reference the boards to see. Just be sure before flashing.

Hi OMN,

 

Is there a possibility that a PC (hackintosh) can have speedstep capability with original AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext without any patch or hack software/kext/kernel or even without modified BIOS? My Acer Aspire 9420 have the capability & the only thing I do is applying DSDT override by fassl. The only code I add to DSDT was for audio (HDEF). I will compare my SSDT table with the one from macbook/macbook pro.

 

BTW, I did installed VMware Fusion 2.0.4. I don't know if this have anything to do with it.

 

I was, once, accidentally loaded AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext without either Disabler.kext or IntelCPUPMDisabler.kext (no DSDT override too) present in the Extensions or Extra folder without any problem or kernel panic.

 

As for my Acer Aspire 3680, I was able to generate a working dsdt.aml using fassl's tools. Initially it was failed (just like I told you before) but when I take a closer look to the error, I found out that it just a simply logic error in the code. I just fixed it & after that I was able to compile a working dsdt.aml.

Guess it depends on your dsdt table, I've been running vanilla Kernel & AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

for quite sometime now. But only after fixing the HPET and the dual core issue, and My E6750 works perfect, it actually runs hotter if the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext is not installed.

Some work, some don't.

 

So, to answer your question.

Just depends if the company took the time to write a good dsdt table.

This is my DSDT & SSDT table obtain from Acer Aspire 9420. In case you want to take a look. :)

I'll have a look at it in the morning, but in the mean time, I forgot to post your bios last time.

I was able to mod it, just forgot to post it. Side note, it won't let you have 2 cpu's, just the bios has been Hard Fixed for the HPET & RTC.

Also, if you have a working dsdt.aml

just post your bios and the dsdt together, for the Aspire 9420

Thank you very much OMN. :)

Aspire 9420 loaded with BIOS (Phoenix) version 1.18, however I'm unable to find it anywhere on acer website. The only version I found are 1.13, 1.20 & 1.24. I tried to backup BIOS ROM to a file but did not found any suitable tool for the job (backup only). Phlash & WinPhlash keep asking for new BIOS image file even though I just want to backup only. I'm only able to post working dsdt.aml & latest BIOS image version, 1.24. I don't know if it helps because dsdt.aml was generated (and fixed with fassl's DSDT Patcher) from currently loaded BIOS ROM, which is v1.18.

Hy

I have my DSDT (obtained with fassl) or ubuntu method.

but I've created a dozen of dsdt.. all of them are compiled with errors.. from 8 to 60 and more!

I've tried too the SSDT method.. without success. Then now I'm using the DSDT with less errors. but all the people in the world which have

Laptop ACER 5930g

last bios 1.23 is ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/asp.../Bios/v1.23.zip

 

has the problem that at boot (with efi v9, chameleon 2, dsdt override etc i tried all, really sure!)

sometimes it start after pressing the partition with mac..

sometimes no. It's random. I confirm.. I spoke with greeks, russian, american, spanish, all have the same problem..

 

there's a moment (in linux, vista or mac) after the post, after reading the mbr and the bootsector, when (I think) HAL and ACPI tables are read. All of people hear clearly the sound of the dvd reader that start a check.. and immediately the hard disk start to read and boots the system

 

before the sound of the dvd.. this is exactly the moment when the mac osx stops randomly.

 

Because our appleacpi is fixed in order to have good and running osx, I think and presume that If I have a dsdt really patched (as diabolik did for asus a5n7a-vm --dsdt can use hpet without disabler.kext, with audio injected and with vga without any injector--)

or a bios modded.. we could have the boot always good.

 

now, i'm only asking you if you can give us an idea.. sorry for bad english

.................

I have successfully flashed the modified BIOS. Tested it by removing dsdt.aml from EFI partition & looks like all are going well. AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext loaded without any problem. I run fassl's DSDT Patcher to see how much optimizations can be done with the modified BIOS. The optimizations has been dropped to 35 from 1264. Looks like a big improvement. :)

 

Thank you again OMN.

OMN...

 

Thank you so very much for your efforts and your help.

 

I've found BIOS files for the two motherboards I have that have been giving me problems.

 

Soon as my new DVD drive and video card get in tomorrow, I'll be testing them both out!!

Dear guru,

 

Please, help to patch my BIOS for EeePC 1000H Go (it's not equal to 1000H).

I've tried to use ACPI Patcher, but not sure with some settings and afraid to brick my netbook.

 

Please, help!

(Newest original BIOS and exported DSDT.dsl - are in the attached archive).

 

Thanks in advance!

G31T-M BIOS | Version: 08/07/31 | Release Date: 2008/09/03

 

http://download.ecsusa.com/dlfileecs/bios/mb/p4/080731S.zip

 

Specification:

 

ECS G31T-M PCB v1.0

4GB DDR2-800 RAM

Intel Core2Duo E7200 (2.53GHz)

E-VGA NVidia 8200GS 512MB PCI-E x16

 

Currently, I have to boot using CPUS=1, and it only shows a single processor. I've tried the existing G31T BIOS on your site, but it's for the G31T-A - and I get a blackscreen and the system will no longer boot.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hannibal

 

Was this bios compatible with ECS G31T-M2 ???

 

thanks
