And here the rev. 473 (trunk 473) with default new theme, package w/o kext

 

What does this package?

- (Optional... Select by default) Install the chameleon bootloader (boot0, boot1h and boot).

- (Optional... Unselect by default) Create a directory called util inside the Extra with the executable bdmesg for the Boot dump tool

- (Optional... Unselect by default) Creates / overwrites the standard theme with the new from rev 473

- Added the Chameleon Preference Panel Version 2

- The smbios.plist, DSDT.aml or any SSDT Tables and com.apple.Boot.plist and any kext present inside the Extra and Extra/Extensions will not be touched.

 

thank all people again for this job!

[size=1][b]zef:[/b] Changed loading mechanism of *SDT and SMBIOS.plist files.
Using SMBIOS=<filename> option won't fall back to default location/filename lookup
if the user configured SMBIOS file was not found.
Using DSDT=<filename> still permits to load SSDT files. [/size]
- [i]last trunk 450 info[/i]
[size=1][b]zef:[/b] zef: Applied Azimutz's fake_efi changes for setting up EFI32/64 system tables. [/size]

[size=1][b]zef:[/b] zef: Using EFI32 or EFI64 firmware ABI version depending on CPU features. [/size]
- [i]last trunk 445 info[/i]
[size=1][b]zef:[/b] Refactored detecting OS version.[/size]
- l[i]ast trunk 444 info[/i]
[size=1][b]zef:[/b] Fixed calling getBootVolumeDescription() with properly adjusted strMaxLen values.
Removed broken optionKey setting. Now using strncat() for adding proper NULL termination in destination strings.[/size]
- [i]last trunk 438 info[/i]
[size=1][b]zef:[/b] Added string terminator in getVolumeLabelAlias().
Changed printing method in activity indicator drawing to prevent logging.[/size]

Now "Hide Partition" can accept NTFS volume serials as well.[/size]
- [i]last trunk 408 info [/i]
[size=1][b]Kabyl:[/b] Make sure there is no (null) before another messsage is added to the log,
make bdmesg work in Leopard when compiled on Snow Leopard (native arch is used for now, not a fat binary)[/size]
- [i]last trunk 405 info [/i]
[size=1][b]blackosx:[/b] Added the latest set of theme files I have to get something in here.
To be honest there's not much else I can add without going over the top as I want to keep it simple
and it still has to fit most if not all resolutions.
The device icons are larger than the embedded theme to make use of the quality of the renders,
so as a consequence I have set the max_devices to 4.
I hope they're not deemed too big for small screen sizes, and if so I can either reduce their size
(which I don't really want to do), or lower the mac_devices further.[/size]

 

BootHelp.txt

[size=1]The boot: prompt waits for you to type advanced startup options.
If you don't type anything, the computer continues starting up normally. It
uses the kernel and configuration files on the startup device, which it also
uses as the root device. 

Advanced startup options use the following syntax:

   [device]<kernel> [arguments]

Example arguments include

device: rd=<BSD device name>       (e.g. rd=disk0s2)
        rd=*<IODeviceTree path>    (e.g. rd=*/PCI0@0/CHN0@0/@0:1)

kernel: kernel name                (e.g. "mach_kernel" - must be in "/" )

flags: -v (verbose)                -s (single user mode)
       -x (safe mode)              -f (ignore caches)
       -F (ignore "Kernel Flags" specified in boot configuration file)

"Graphics Mode"="WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH" (e.g. "1024x768x32")

kernel flags                       (e.g. debug=0x144)
io=0xffffffff                      (defined in IOKit/IOKitDebug.h)

Example: mach_kernel rd=disk0s1 -v "Graphics Mode"="1920x1200x32"

If the computer won't start up properly, you may be able to start it up 
using safe mode.  Type -x to start up in safe mode, which ignores all 
cached driver files.

Special booter hotkeys:
 F5            Rescans optical drive.
 F10           Scans and displays all BIOS accessible drives.

Special booter commands:
 ?memory       Displays information about the computer's memory.
 ?video        Displays VESA video modes supported by the computer's BIOS.
 ?norescan     Leaves optical drive rescan mode.

Additional useful command-line options:

Would you do another test? Remove these options from com.apple.Boot.plist and use attached dsdt.aml

	<key>DropSSDT</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>

 

Doing this drill sends KP goodness my way :P

That looks like an unmodified DSDT?

 

Post LSPCI-nn output too.

 

Run console, look in kernel.log. Do you see any error messages from AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement?

 

/EDIT

 

LOL MaLd0n is thinking along the same lines and is one step ahead of me..

 

Hi all,

Here the attach the files of the extra folder, the SSDT tables and i'm sending you the registration of the kernel.log file i could see the two files in the section of extensions with the DSDT file that you send me, the two files are these: AppleLCP.kext and AppleHPET.kext. What else can i do? and for last i still have in the extra folder installed the NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

 

Thanks, :)

Here's the Chameleon Bulgarian localization

 

@iRipper

Something's wrong with your HPET section in the DSDT, imho.

Your HPET should be similar to the below:

				Device (HPET)
			{
				Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0103"))
				Name (_STA, 0x0F)
				Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
				{
					IRQNoFlags ()
						{0}
					IRQNoFlags ()
						{8}
					Memory32Fixed (ReadWrite,
						0xFED00000,		 // Address Base
						0x00000400,		 // Address Length
						)
				})
			}

 

EDIT: Wow, man, your DSDT is huge and messy :(, seems as it's the original one. I would advice you to start from here -- DSDT mods/edits for P5K Boards and this recent thread too - DSDT Editor and Patcher. It's a long way to go but you have to modify your own DSDT.

@iRipper: it's strange that "HPET: probeHPET() failed" in your log, since your DSDT has an HPET device defined. Does your BIOS config have an HPET option? You can try Chameleon's ForceHPET option.

 

@RaMDaY: they are not options, you need all the 3 files. boot0 goes to MBR, boot1h goes to beginning of HFS partition and boot goes to HFS partition's root. You can replace boot0 by boot0hfs, then the HFS partition should not need to be active.

extract your the DSDT unmodified

My DSDT:

your DSDT has some modifications, _pts is an example

 

remove your DSDT, restart

and then run this command on terminal

perl -e 'open(CMD, "ioreg -lw0 \| grep DSDT|") or die; while(<CMD>) { chomp; if($_ =~ /\"DSDT\.?\d?\"=<([^>]*)>/) { $buff = $1; open(PIP, "|xxd -r -p > dsdt.aml") or die; print PIP "$1"; } }'

DSDT will be generated in a user folder

 

or use windows, everest acpitool
