I figured it was. I may have to install EFI 10.6 just to see what it brings up and manually replicate in the plist. Everything is so close, it's hard to leave well enough alone. :rolleyes:

 

Well, PC EFI 10.6 isn't any better. Just tried it, and the About this Mac is all fracked up. Went back to what I had and it's much better.

@Chief, if you have any feedback about recent optimizations, please post them in the issues of the public repos site,

Our work is public and I'm not the only one that contribute to chameleon, so there is a chance that more than one dev would read your comment if it is posted on the public site...

Thanks!

Ok. I now have an account there, but I am wondering what the best approach would be for me. I mean I could join you guys and share my cleanups and code refactoring, in a new branch maybe (to make code sharing easier?) but what do you think? It's not that I want to have my own branch or anything, but I don't know all possibilities so you'll have to clue me in first. Thanks!

WELCOME ! I added you to the crew (nickname chief ?) :D

 

OK, now I have another news that is going to please more than one of you I think:

I couldn't resist to dive in the SPD mysterious encoding and I implemented today a DYNAMIC memory detection scheme that works great here with my pair of ddr3 g-skill memory modules,

 

Here's a pre10d (many more vendors recognized) with the memory detection (no debug by default but a "DumpSPD=y" option for those who want to investigate some DDR2 eventual problem:

RC5pre10d.tar.gz

attachment=67461:RC5pre10c.tar.gz]

RC5pre10b.tar.gz

RC5pre10.tar.gz

Here's a pre10 with the memory detection:

RC5pre10.tar.gz

 

if you have a type of memory whose name would not be detected, please report I'll add it to the list.

I added for now : g-skill, ocz, corsair, kingston, patriot, crucial, transcend, pny, centon, viking.

But I can add more of them ...

 

Tell me what you think of this late evening one-shot work :D

 

Rekursor you allways do a great job but mine ocz model and memory OCZ2V8002G is not detected as a model and speed, shows 0mhz the type detected it's ok ddr2 sdram it's a 800 mhz speed both reporte ok win7 , and everest but i have to put this on smbios.plist this

 

<key>SMmemtype</key>

<string>19</string>

<key>SMmemspeed</key>

<string>800</string>

<key>SMmemmanufacter_1</key>

<string>OCZ</string>

<key>SMmemserial_1</key>

<string>0x00001020</string>

<key>SMmempart_1</key>

<string>OCZ2V8002G</string>

 

it's ok i know it's only cosmetic but you asked

if you nedd more data just tell me

Thanks

I've tried pre10 now and it detects frequency correct only.

After some testing I would like to report that the revised boot0 and boot0hfs files Zef changed work great.

 

Good to see you onboard the ship Master Chief.

 

Rekursor, well done with attempting the memory detection in Pre10, though I only see the frequency detected correctly in 'About This Mac' while System profiler shows 'There was an error while gathering this information.' I use Corsair 800Mhz DDR2. Would you want my LPSCI output too?

It works for me, great memory detection;) And hell, the booter is also faster!

Rek, for my request, do you think that is there a possibility?:

 

Rek, I have a question. Simply, with my Vaio i use a modded version of AppleSMBIOS because with the original version my "about this mac" crash. Ok, is there a way for fix this directly with the booter, so to use the original version can be possible?

Thanks for answer

@ Gabo and scrax: try the new version modified for DDR2 owner here:

I had the problem of about crashing and I solved it a long time ago but don't remember what I did :)

I'll try to remind about it ...

Hope you don't mind me chipping in here, but I have just tried that pre10b and that showed my 2 x 2GB Corsair DDR2 memory correctly, though System profiler still reports 'There was an error while gathering this information.'

rek, one thing, all work but the next optimization imho should be the frequency to fly. With asere boot the frequency of ram isn't the frequency standard: 667, 800, 1066, etcetc, but the frequency to fly, for me is 890 MHz :)

 

On all my hack i kaven't this error: "There was an error while gathering this information"

 

Second thing: i have speeded a bit the process of boot adding all the infos of smbios.plist directly in smbiospatcher.c deleting so the smbios.plist;)

mmm, did you try to install another booter to see if it changes something ?

Welcome back rekursor. :)

I'm really happy to see how fast things are progressing here again.

I'm also very happy to see the boot0hfs variant in the forge. It'll be very useful for dual boot users.

I wish I could test the new versions, but I seriously messed up my system. I hope I get it back up today, to test the memory detection.

 

I hope we can reach a final stable version of RC5 by the time 10.6.3 is released.

 

Once again, many thanks to everyone involved.

I am at work now so unfortunately can't do any further testing until I return home. However, I was testing with various builds, boot files and installs this morning so maybe this evening, if I get time, I will start over and I will compile a proper report for you.

I'm trying RC5 pre 9 and I noticed that with pre8, the screen dimming/energy saving elements of my laptop worked, but with pre 9, I can no longer use the dimming keys, nor does it dim when I unplug my laptop. Any idea what could have changed with the different versions to cause this?

 

If there any files I can send anyone to help troubleshoot this, please let me know.
