InsanelyLeo Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi, My system configuration is: Intel G33FB Core 2 Duo Nvidia 8600GT Transcend RAM DDR2 2GB Seagatte SATA HDD 500GB I am able to boot snow leopard but not without the dvd. If I try to boot without the dvd, i get the error: "no hpets available ... cpu(s) configured incorrectly\n"@/SourceCache/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement-" If I enable HPET in BIOS, then I get kernel panic error. Should I remove: AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient.kext and should I also remove: AppleHPET.kext Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.

WaldMeister Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Please provide some more information. What dit you install after the OS X installation? Did you install a bootloader like Chameleon or PC-EFI? What kext/patches are you using? Seems the nullcpupowermanagement could fix this issue.

kup Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 You need to add a minimum of FakeSMC and NullCPUPowerManagement kexts to your Extra/Extensions/ folder to boot with HPET enabled. Do you have a DSDT for your system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanelyLeo Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Thanks for the replies. I don't know what DSDT is. Other than the base setup of iAtkos 10.6.3, I did not install anything else (no modified kernels, patchers etc) except PS2 drivers and natit and nvenabler. And yes, I installed Chameleon RC4. Then I updated to 10.6.4 without any hacks, patches. Now I installed NullCPUPowerManagement with kexthelper. It did not work. Then I installed it by directly copying it to the Extras/extensions folder. Now i have it in both these places. But it did not work. Then I installed FakeSMC.kext and SMCITEController.kext in Extra\Extensions. That solved my boot without dvd problem. However, it has created new problems. As soon as I booted, I saw that my wallpaper had changed. I lost my display resolution. It was 1280x720. Now it is only 1024x720. I saw in System Preferences>>Display but it is the only resolution availabe to me. Earlier there were many others. My nvidia 8600GT is not being recongnized in system profiler. I only see this now: Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 32 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0402 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes I am sure that earlier i could see my nvidia 8600 in that description. I installed Natit.kext, NVEnabler.kext and NVInject.kext in Extra\Extensions folder. No change. What should I do now? (In my BIOS, HPET is disabled. During all the changes I made, I had tried keeping it enabled and disabled. With HPET enabled, Snow Leopard never booted. I don't care if HPET remains disabled because I don't even know what it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
