yep, the second one load the dsdt oblivioulsy.

do you need to know something specific? it seem to me it works like the old version did already

 

thanks.

I don't follow here, do u mean same as 06/04 versions? does it load the dsdt file? did it fix those issues u've been having?

what about fsb and cpu model, does it show up correctly?

Thanks,

 

My Core i7 860 went from being recognized as an Intel Xeon to simply "Unknown".

would u provide me with a dump of cpu family and model please!

i've tested now your boot file...Dsdt load doesn't work (my pc doesn't turn off, doesn't restart) and i've problem with usb (my usb wireless adapter was not recognize)...

received your pm, and yes it confirms what nobb1x stated. thank u for providing time to test this. it helps me improve things.

the issues u are having are due to boot-loader actually neglecting your edited dsdt file. gonna have a look into this, don't panic, it is test phase, and am going to remediate to all this mess very quickly (I hope so :P ).

 

Here's what CPU-X says.

do this on terminal sudo sysctl -a | grep cpu, and provide me with the dump. thanks

EDIT: i've this problem only with original kernel...if i use legacy kernel no problem, for now...

@spyguy007,

ok, would u mind trying this one and looking if it reverts to xeon

whoever could look at ioregexplorer>iodevicetree>efi>configuration-table and tell me what it shows there, would be much appreciated, thanks.

Nope, still says Unknown.

Ok, this one should fix dsdt issues + cpu detection (unlikely)

alpha4.zip

As u can see, I renamed that one just to be sure about which one u'd be giving feedback.

Greetz,

That fixed it! My CPU is now showing up as a 2.81GHz Intel Core i7.

That's good news, and what about the dsdt issue ?

valv, I'm reading this thread since some time and would like to say you're very helpful and friendly person ;)

 

Until today I was using AsereBLN's booter 1.1.9 but i decided to give it a go to your booter cause Asere's isn't updated since February 2010 and also I would like to contribute to this one which obviously has a great development and support.

 

So i updated to the stable version dated 06-04-2010 and it seems to work fine for me. Memory is detected and reported correctly (just missing the manufacturer part, but i can live without this :(). I'll try now sleep, restart, shutdown and will report further more.

Thank u ;)

Asere made a really good work. @Asere, if u read me, hope u'll be back soon.

As u should know, this work here involves too many people like (all the guyz in the voodooteam, and notably zef) you and me: we are the scene.

btw, thank u for giving time to test it out, it just makes the work go in a better direction.

Greetz

 

what about your dsdt, does it stick-in? I need to know this is working before committing to the branch.

Thanks,

yep, Asere's missing the scene... dunno what's up with him...

 

I just tested the restart, works fine, sleep works too, but when i wake the PC my desktop appears little bit semitransparent, stays at this stage for a 4-5 seconds and then becomes fully visible.

 

When restarted i decided to go for a verbose mode and when Chameleon loads before the Apple logo there's a fast scrolling text saying ACPI table not found, SSDT not found, and similar. But I can't stop the screen to write down the given info. Maybe I'm missing something...

 

My DSDT is OK as fas as I know (used the Blackosx thread for the DSDT patching and building).

What do you mean by stick-in?

If u don't mind, try rebooting with Wait key (value: Yes) into boot.plist.

Forgot to say, alpha4 is intended to get rid of those messages, and it needs testers. If u could give it a try, it'd be nice ;)

ok ;) those messages were with v06-04-2010, i'll test alpha4 after a while and report back :(

How do you save 32 bit mode into the boot.plist?

 

	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>

i'm now with alpha4 :)

those messages are there :), but if this isn't vital for our systems, im OK with them.

now my desktop is OK when woke from sleep.

 

hah, a very strange bug appeared :))

when i open a new browser tab or refresh the current one, preview files on the desktop, open Illustrator or Photoshop, the sound form iTunes becomes noisy and hissing, stops for a 2-10 seconds.

Right, I think I'm going to give this Booter a test tonight. I've followed and used the work of Asere for a long time (cheers dude!) but I need something that will be updated and fixed as and when issues arise.

 

Should I stick to the 06-04-2010 Booter or try the Alpha4 Booter for you? Specs are in my sig. :rolleyes:

As u appear to have an i7, i'd suggest u start with 06/04, and then replace the boot file with the one from alpha4, thanks

That is really strange. look if some messages show up on the console.app at that time, and what about cpu/fsb values?

Yep it's really strange this behavior , i reverted to 06-04-2010 and now the sound is OK.

Looked at the Console logs - no strange messages or anything i can relate to this problem.

How to report you CPU/FSB values? Using this command: sudo sysctl -a | grep cpu?

just tell me if "about this mac"/"system profiler" are showing the right values for u.

 

anyone else confirming the same behavior with alpha4?

yes, they're shown correctly with both 06-04-2010 and alpha4

With alpha4:

 

sh-3.2# sysctl -a | grep busfrequency

hw.busfrequency = 800000000

hw.busfrequency: 800000000

hw.busfrequency_min: 800000000

hw.busfrequency_max: 800000000

 

Should be:

 

sh-3.2# sysctl -a | grep busfrequency

hw.busfrequency = 1332000000

hw.busfrequency: 1332000000

hw.busfrequency_min: 1332000000

hw.busfrequency_max: 1335810932

 

CPU and RAM frequencies are detected correctly.

I was about to post one other alpha, but as this showed up,

Should be:

 

sh-3.2# sysctl -a | grep busfrequency

hw.busfrequency = 1332000000

hw.busfrequency: 1332000000

hw.busfrequency_min: 1332000000

hw.busfrequency_max: 1335810932

 

CPU and RAM frequencies are detected correctly.

I'll need to go into more investigation.

ok, can I get a more complete dump with sysctl -a | grep cpu
