autoy Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Read: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?t...461317&tstart=0 I would do what this guy says, but instead edit the kext using vi in root mode (sudo -s), not a text editor, otherwise changes won't be permanent. Also it would be safe to chown -R 755 the kext and root:wheel it just to make shure. BTW, I don't own a macbook, I just saw this on the digg queue. Cheers and good luck!

suleiman Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 the real concern with this fix is whether the system might overheat, the resulting bad battery life is just a side-effect.

Swad Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Double post because this is so cool: It seems like this could be the source of the whine: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2227076 With as many kernel experts here, surely someone could fix this.

non sequitur Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 hopefully someone can fix that. even after i did the kext method, my machine runs quite cool. i have a week 12. so, suleiman, i dont think theres a problem with the kext de-whine method.
