Gringo Vermelho Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Try adding framebufferdisabler.kext to your boot CD. There are various versions of it out there, try different ones. You should avoid using somebody elses DSDT. Even if your specs are identical, some DSDT code will be different depending on BIOS settings, BIOS version and amount of RAM.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Maybe you can use something like UltraISO to edit the CD... I don't know how to work with OS X Boot CDs on Windows, I'm sure there are guides out there somewhere. btw framebufferdisabler.kext is in the "MyHack" installer package. Zip your DSDT and attach it here, I can't promise anything but I'll take a look at it.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I think it's missing something, what did you use to extract that? If you're on Windows, use the ACPI tool in Everest Corporate/Ultimate Edition to extract your ACPI tables. Like this (see screenshots): http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1468558 Anyway your warnings/errors/remarks is all standard ASUS DSDT stuff that is well documented and easy to fix. Try again when you have the DSDT extracted with Everest. I'll leave you to do the work: Replace all the mentioned 0x03E8 and 0x0FFF with 0xFFFF (find them by line number) Replace all _T_0 and _T_1 with T_0 and T_1. To learn how to fix error 4122, "Invalid combination of Length and Min/Max fixed flags", go here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1461497 If you're curious about what else you can do with your DSDT, read Beerkex'ds posts (the one with the screenshots) and follow the links given there. Any questions, just ask. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/238035-snow-leopard-retail-installtion/#findComment-1589992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just fix error 4122 and you're done. At least with the errors..and then the fun can begin.

Exebat Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 doesnt have any error .. ACPI Patcher is the app i use.. it report no error no warnign just 69 optimzations and still doesnt compile Intel ACPI Component Architecture ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20081204 [Dec 4 2008] Copyright © 2000 - 2008 Intel Corporation Supports ACPI Specification Revision 3.0a ASL Input: dsdt.dsl - 6675 lines, 240107 bytes, 3257 keywords AML Output: acpi_dsdt.aml - 25765 bytes, 874 named objects, 2383 executable opcodes Compilation complete. 0 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 69 Optimizations Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/238035-snow-leopard-retail-installtion/#findComment-1590036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 That's odd, because what you posted indicates that it compiled successfully. Are you sure that there's no "acpi_dsdt.aml" in the output folder? Maybe your iasl compiler being two years old has something to do with it. Anyway, here you go: exebat_dsdt.aml.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/238035-snow-leopard-retail-installtion/#findComment-1590038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
