I am getting these messages that seem to imply that HPET is not working:

 

com.apple.kextd[15]: /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext/PlugIns/Unsupported.kext/Unsupported: Undefined in symbol set: _hpet_register_callback

com.apple.kextd[15]: /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext/PlugIns/Unsupported.kext/Unsupported: Undefined in symbol set: _hpet_request

com.apple.kextd[15]: /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext/PlugIns/Unsupported.kext/Unsupported: Undefined in symbol set: _ml_hpet_cfg

com.apple.kextd[15]: /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext/PlugIns/Unsupported.kext/Unsupported: Undefined in symbol set: _rdHPET

 

I am using Voodoo 2 beta 3 on a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P board with 6 GB of RAM. I have the 64-bit and ACPI enabled. How can I get this working?

Why using Voodoo2 with Core Intel ?!

Voodoo is buggy until today and has no really advantages for Core Intel CPUs.

 

Also check Iwith ORegeistry Explorer if HPET is available.

 

I quite agree, I tried Voodoo in my build and is not working well. The vanilla kernel works pretty good.

Okay, so I downloaded the 10.5.8 combo update and extracted the mach_kernel and mach_kernel.ctfsys and booted that:

System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)

Kernel Version: Darwin 9.8.0

I am still seeing these in the system log:

Any thoughts?

Flash your motherboard with the latest BIOS for it, and look for a HPET setting in the BIOS. On some motherboards you can toggle HPET in the BIOS, maybe it's off on yours. Some BIOSes also allows you to toggle 32- and 64-bit mode.

 

Patch your DSDT (there's a special HPET fix included in the various patchers) or install the Chameleon 2.0 RC2 bootloader and enable the HPET fix in Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist.
