frodo.. you want to laugh? I've just made the mod into my lappie.. in order to have full hpet.. thanks to that magic topic.. and now I don't use disabler... uaaa

but I cannot do the same in that motherboard.. uaaa

gosh

for robotprom: the easiest way you think is to mod xp or mac? if 1st..my opinion is to inject ahci .. you don't have drivers (the famous f6--floppy driver? you may have a copy in the original cd) then.. you can boot xp as you did since .. now! and inject the install right clicking the inf file.. then maybe it can recognize the sata at boot if you switch the setting in bios. otherwise you .. ehm.. .. have to do the restore.. is not necessary to reinstall from scratch.. you can restore at cd boor and before you can load with f6.

believe me.. is better to reinstall xp instead mac..

So, I've rolled back the bios to v0407 and applied Frodokenny's dsdt.aml and kexts.

I now get AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext loading without disabler or panics.

I also now get the option for 'Restart automatically after power failure' in energy saver preferences for the first time.

I don't get wake from sleep though.. argh!

Does anyone know the fix for shutting down but the fans staying on? That's the only problem I'm having right now.

Hugo_bee · May 7, 2009

my opinion is that there is a gap between the dsdt in that topic and the bios versions.. then I think that dsdt is perfect if I return to older bios.. now it works fine in other behaviours

then... may I have a dsdt.dsl txt version.. in order to compare the disassembled version of a dsdt of last bios?

Frodo, does shutdown work on your setup?

*EDIT*

Okay I was missing the Restart Automatically After A Power Failure checkbox with my extensions.mkext. Found out that LegacyAppleLPC.kext was missing from my newest mkext. Added it, and it's back. Wondering if that is causing my shutdown problem. Can't test it since I'm VNC'd in and need access to it the rest of the day. Will test tonight.

Did a Google search for LegacyAppleLPC.kext and the only result was this thread. Looks like FrodoKenny wrote that kext? If so Frodo, you're amazing! Can I use that on my other hacks?

Also, I think I figured out my reboot/hard drive problem. The Samsung hdd I was using had 10.5.4 on it. I was unable to update to 10.5.6 because that link in the guide wasn't the right one. So I figured I'd update it when I got into the OS. The new HDD & my old install, both have 10.5.6. I forgot this chipset wasn't support till the new MacBooks (10.5.5 min). Same problem happens with my 10.5.4 disc on my unibody MacBook Pro.

i've changed my dsdt from

Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
				{
					If (LEqual (OSFL (), Zero))
					{
						If (LEqual (NVID, 0x10DE))
						{
							Return (0x0F)
						}
						Else
						{
							Return (Zero)
						}
					}
					Else
					{
						Return (Zero)
					}
				}

to

Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
				{
					If (LGreaterEqual (OSYS (), 0x14))
					{
						If (LEqual (NVID, 0x10DE))
						{
							Return (0x0F)
						}
						Else
						{
							Return (Zero)
						}
					}
					Else
					{
						Return (Zero)
					}
				}

and with the dsdt base.dsl i've also repeated the mods wrote in post 355 by Frodokenny

but I have 1 error and 28 warnings..

the error report to NVID.. that does not exist..

but.. respect to cap13..of frodo's post I see that in my dsdt extracted from system (dumpacpitbl) my package is 0x24 and I have 2 nvcaps.. the table is different.. so I think my diabolik dsdt is stil living and is reflected into the extracted tables..

then i see that 90% of frodo mods are still written.. I repeat.. I did nothing except to rewrite the injection of hpet.. because I'm sure it doesn't see correctly video card.. and in the if clause the system doesn't match what it doesn't see!

then.. in my acer the if clause refer to an object that I'm sure that exists.. and the 1st if refer to OS.. the 2nd to HPAE.

now.. what can I put insted of NVID in order to activate properly the Intel Power mgm?

I'l like to know (from who is better than me in programming.. = everybody ? uah uah ) why in the 1st if clause there is OSFL and not OSYS. . because the method report OSYS..

Method (OSYS, 0, NotSerialized)
{...

in the end..

all my warnings

and I think.. why it get an error if there is a return code for all those methods?

foir example.. the mp0n (diabolik dsdt)

is

		Method (MP0N, 1, NotSerialized)
	{
		If (LEqual (Arg0, Zero))
		{
			Return (P0N0)
		}

		If (LEqual (Arg0, One))
		{
			Return (P0N1)
		}

		If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x02))
		{
			Return (P0N2)
		}

		If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x03))
		{
			Return (P0N3)
		}

		If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x04))
		{
			Return (P0N4)
		}
	}
