AnVAL (ACPI Loader)

Azimutz · January 17, 2011

Hi Valv,

sorry for the late reply; took some days away... still not sure if i'm really back

Picking up were i left it...

I fail to find that one. btw, I was looking at "Chazi"'s code and I 'd like some guidance from your part as if this implementation is working for you and if it is latest or if there is something else I should study (e.g your other sub-branch). Thank u anyway.

Well, the post with the diff i mentioned previously, can be read here (the diff stuff was removed by me).

As you can see, it was originally an answer to you

Give it a look and tell me if you need more info. If it helps, i can revert the code to the previous locations on boot.c/options.c and make a diff from there!?... i will probably do it anyway, but if someone needs i'll do it sooner than later

About your booter, still works fine for me; bdmesg attached. I would disable the KernelPatcher by default; it can mess the boot when using an already patched kernel.

Talking about patched kernel...

This my friend, is happening on the legacy kernel's side. To be more specific, just take a look at this:
		// blackknight; added	   for corrected FSB detection for Phenoms and Shanghais
				switch (cpuid_family()) {
					case CPU_FAMILY_AMD_PHENOM:
					case CPU_FAMILY_AMD_SHANGHAI: {
						busFreq = 2 * EFI_FSB_frequency();
					}
hereby, blackknight was apparently fixing the wrong value passed from boot-loader.

I think this fix, with most respect to its author, is no more needed to be there.

did you guys got to any conclusion about the above?

See ya later...

Also remember just because the bootloader support your card it do not mean that snow leopard do...

In snowleopard it is only Radeon HD 4xx0 and newere that work non of the 3xx0 cards can get QE/CI....

Thanks for your explanation. I am giving up 3650's QE/CI now , using RadeonHD.kext instead.

the restart fix is great, nice work

I would disable the KernelPatcher by default; it can mess the boot when using an already patched kernel.

Wise & valuable! am going to correct it asap

See ya later...

Indeed, that fix is not needed (in the case of booting with anval). I used to talk with nawcom about this. His BootCD would probably take care of this (in the future; till the change gets merged into trunk, if interest is, and propagated to other branches as well).

@Mohamed Khairy,

how comes it is not interfering with kernel_patcher ?

Mohamed Khairy · January 17, 2011

@Mohamed Khairy,
how comes it is not interfering with kernel_patcher ?

you talk about meklort kernel patcher ?

i used meklort branch before

its kernel patcher nearly patch only vanilla kernel

doesnt patch legacy

valv · January 17, 2011

yeah but I was afraid the old version am using is going to cause problems with already patched kernels.

Mohamed Khairy · January 17, 2011

yeah but I was afraid the old version am using is going to cause problems with already patched kernels.

dont worry about legacy

am not sure about atom_kernel

but meklort patcher do like atom_kernel so no need for atom_kernel

are you going on future to add AMD to kernel patcher

valv · January 17, 2011

I'd love to. But I don't think I'd be able to. we'll see.

Mohamed Khairy · January 17, 2011

I'd love to. But I don't think I'd be able to. we'll see.

it is too long diff

boot file will be larger

it will be good if it will be like module

has anyone tested this with sandy bridge?

i have some trouble getting my GA-P67A-UD3 with i5-2500k CPU running perfectly, trouble with stuttering sound (onboard & USB)/mouse/keyboard (USB). especially when the system is not under any load. even reflected in the GUI performance (seems jittery). i'm using a custom DSDT with the interrupts removed for TMR & PIC devices.

i am using nawcom's legacy 10.6.6 kernel (http://blog.nawcom.com/?p=538)

hello AnVal, a lately happy new year.

my GS 8800 is broken and i get a new GTS450.

but i won´t get it work with the latest nvidia drivers from tonymac

could you please check my bdmesg because i´ve got:

ERROR: nVidia ROM Patching Failed!

would be great if you could help because i don´t c any other way to get it work.

thx in advance

ps: 5.1.3 restartfix works again

5.1.3.txt

valv · January 17, 2011

@Carstiman,

this is a known issue. u can have a look at it over here.

As of today, I can offer you no solution. sorry. Even thought, a guy were talking about aqua-mac having a fix for it.

At the end, all I can say: Away from tonymac.

maleorderbride · January 18, 2011

I have 10.6.6 on a Sandy Bridge build as well. I can get it working properly with RC5 or Anval and designating the busratio in kernel flags. However, anything above 29 causes a de-sync and anything in the 40+ range seems to panic RTClock init.

Any ideas?

valv · January 18, 2011

with which fsb value ?

maleorderbride · January 18, 2011

with which fsb value ?

ForceFSB=100 always. I tried 101 once, but that did not make any difference. The SB CPUs only seem to allow the 100-110 range without major instability.

Hello again Valv,

Booted both a Tea's patched and a standard non-patched kernel OK.

Found a version of bdmesg compiled for 32bit/tiger (from Slice I think). So, here's output FYI on ATOM.

thx for your fast reply !

i think the link is for GTX-580

some people get GTS-450 running with original Retail_256.01.00f03v5.dmg

and RC5 and your´s and Graphics Enabler enabled.

i don´t know what i did wrong. so i looked into bdmesg.

also tried to edit IOPCIPrimaryMatch=0x10DE0DC4 in NVDAGF100Hal.kext or NVEnabler 64.kext

before i´ve got a EAH-5670 Radeon but with this one i don´t c the gui boot screen. that´s the reason i changed it to the gts-450.

should Asus ENGT430 fully work ?

sry for my little offtopic

Azimutz · January 18, 2011

I'd highly appreciate you to. In the meantime, I'd probably give it a look tonight.

Already on it... helps to see what i did changed and get the logic, i almost forgot about

Wise & valuable! am going to correct it asap

It may not cause problems, but it's certainly not meant for patched kernels.

We also need to keep in mind that Meklort's branch tends to be specific to his NBI installer and i guess that's why he never had a key for this patcher; now we can just remove the module, but i still prefer the key, since the patcher doesn't work with 10.5, etc...

Indeed, that fix is not needed (in the case of booting with anval). I used to talk with nawcom about this. His BootCD would probably take care of this (in the future; till the change gets merged into trunk, if interest is, and propagated to other branches as well).

Ok, thanks for the report in my opinion this should be on the booter.

nefilim · January 18, 2011

valv, here's a CPU-Z export and a DMI dump (from linux) for GA-P67A-UD3 with i5-2500k

valv · January 18, 2011

@humph,

u could also try the bdmesg from 5.1.3

i don´t know what i did wrong.

I'd say you mixed up too many solutions. U should be using one at a time. Btw, why do use tonymac drivers ? and what is so different from originals ? I think that was your first mistake. The issue I've been posting above is not device specific, but seems to be tonymac driver's specific.

Other than that, regarding your 5670, I'd probably need to know which framebuffer is needed for it to work. Try it with kabyl's and let me know (if u still want it to work and remember that you'd probably need to test more than one fb injection.)

but i still prefer the key, since the patcher doesn't work with 10.5, etc...

that's exactly what I'm intending to do.

in my opinion this should be on the booter.

If I understand your opinion correctly (

), we should leave the boot-loader give doubled values (wrong) to satisfy kernel and let it correct 'em afterwards ? this is anti-code and is non-sense to me. So I'd say that I don't understand what you meant (as am pretty sure u meant something else

)

@nefilim,

Thank you for the dumps. Take a look at maleorderbride's posts above regarding stability; test with those values and let me know.

humph · January 18, 2011

Nice

(I gotta learn to read release/update notes, rather than diving in head first!.
