RevoBoot

sea_man · July 23, 2011

Brilliant, it worked, however still only getting 6 pstates

Also boot time was faster but not 100% and the Apple logo at login is now in off centre to the right of the middle :S
Jul 23 21:31:20 server kernel[0]: MSRDumper CoreMulti(16) 
Jul 23 21:31:20 server kernel[0]: MSRDumper PStatesReached: 16 23 39 40 41 42

Same problem whit the logo, i have 1920 1080 in the settings.... but i'm not worried about this .. is something cosmetic and easy fixable ( i think )

My only problem now.. is the pstates also... ( pdt.. what CPU have you ? )

tom.humphrey · July 23, 2011

Yeah it must be just something cosmetic (I hope)

Same as you but it won't boot if i over clock beyond 42. + BIOS says I don't get any higher then 3.5 GHz speed. Even thought target is at 4.2

Not quite sure what is going on.

I will try to extract the full acpi tables from SL, because in Lion the AppleIntelCpuManager ( patched by SpeedStepper )is restricted to the same situation.. ( 1.6 in standby and jump directly to the turbo states )

Also check if you have this file patched ( AppleIntelCpuManager) and if you have a Nullcpumanager in /S/L/E

tom.humphrey · July 23, 2011

I have patched the AppleIntelCpuManager and have removed the Nullcpu kext after installing lion (had to re-patch after and install Null to get lion to install)

tom.humphrey · July 23, 2011

Right have now tried to edit the ssdt turbo states for over clocking and have now lost all of my p states and geek bench score has dropped by 10,000.

The used P-States are determined by the stepper-program in iMac12_2.plist in SMC_PlatformPlugin, see the SpeedStepper thread.

I'm having problems with Lion, the system reboot after few seconds. I can't boot with Revo.

Is there something like me?

I'm using the same settings like the first tests with Snow:

• DSDT.aml + SSDT_PR.aml into Extra/ACPI

• Settings.h like this

I'm having problems with Lion, the system reboot after few seconds. I can't boot with Revo.

Hi,in my case just flashing for a second "done" and "boot"and system reboots.Last couple of days I`ve tried different settings without success.

Hei guys, how did you think it was going to end?

Thanks flAked

Compiled with RevoBuilder and installed on both USB and HDD.

It gives me reboot after lines:

I suspect your problem to be the Chameleon stage 0 boot code can't find the stage 1 boot code in the partitions boot sector.

Which version of RevoBuilder did you use?

Did you use the make bootable USB option? If so, can you type mount your USB like you had when you ran the option and type diskuitl list in Terminal and post the result please?

zeyoung · July 31, 2011

hello,

my dell workstation t5500 have 2 xeon with 8 cores and 16 thread

but i can make it boot with only 14 thread

i try to edit the setting.h with the right value but it complie always with 14 thread.

here is the part of my seetting.h

#define STATIC_CPU_Type 0x000

#define STATIC_CPU_NumCores 8

#define STATIC_CPU_NumThreads 16

#define STATIC_CPU_FSBFrequency 000000000ULL

#define STATIC_CPU_QPISpeed 0

how can i configure revoboot to put the right thing to the kernel.

thanks a lot!

buoo · July 31, 2011

The right value could be this

gPlatform.CPU.Type = 0x0501;	// Intel Quad-Core Xeon (or similar).

What model are you emulating? I think you should set a MacPro5,1

Why did you set the CPU's FSB to 0 ?

Why did you set the CPU's FSB to 0 ?

hello,

'cause i didn't know which value i can set it.

my cup frequency is 2266 and my ratio 22

so i have to set the cpu's fsb to 103?

is this right

@turco_ninja - This has been asked previously. See the reply here.

I will attempt to change RevoBuilder to deal with this problem more efficiently but first I'll need your help. To do that, can you please boot up your system using Chameleon, load up Terminal app, type the following command and post the result here please.

ioreg -lw0 | grep IOPlatformSerialNumber

Thanks for help,

I´m noob with revoboot and your revobuilder is a great tool for guys like me. Realy Thanks.

Booting with chameleon i get no answer for the command you give me. Reducing the grep to IOPlataform i got this:

	| |	   "IOPlatformWakeAction" = 10000
| |	 "IOProviderClass" = "IOPlatformExpert"
|	   "IOProviderClass" = "IOPlatformExpert"

  |   "IOPlatformUUID" = "41700377-58CF-5DCA-97D6-24D0553B3A1C"

I cant find a serial number whem i double click my about this mac, show only the build number of osx.

I´m looking for a smbios with a serial.

Thanks again!

blackosx · August 6, 2011

Okay. I've patched RevoBuilder to hopefully now deal with the situation of the user not having a serial number, in which case it will add the serial number 'PLEASEFIND1'.

From here you can either download the latest revobuilder and try that, or you can just edit the settings.h file and manually add a serial number as shown in settings-template.h:

#define STATIC_SMSERIALNUMBER				"SOMESRLNUMBR"
#define STATIC_SYSTEM_SERIAL_NUMBER			{ 'S', 'O', 'M', 'E', 'S', 'R', 'L', 'N', 'U', 'M', 'B', 'R' }

For info, RevoBoot already has a set of predefined SMBIOS values hard coded in the source. For the curious, you can see the predefined SMBIOS data in RevoBoot-1.0.xx/i386/libsaio/smbios/model_data.h.

You can instruct RevoBoot to use these values by changing #define USE_STATIC_SMBIOS_DATA to 0 in settings.h. In this case RevoBoot will automatically determine what set of hard coded SMBIOS values to use for your system when compiled. If however, you want to force it to use a specific Mac model then you can change #define OVERRIDE_DYNAMIC_PRODUCT_DETECTION to 1, then RevoBoot will compile using the values that match the model set in #define STATIC_SMBIOS_MODEL_ID in settings.h (for example, IMAC or MACPRO). See the settings-template.h for more info.

Thoughts for the future:

I really need to find time to re-think RevoBuilder as it was originally intended to be used as a quick method to include an already complete system setup as static data for RevoBoot. It was never designed to be an all purpose setup tool for a new user who hasn't already got a complete system setup (i.e. SMBIOS). For this instance RevoBuilder needs to be changed to not force using static data and allow the user to use the predefined values.

turco_ninja · August 9, 2011

Thank you very much for revobuilder!

Now i'm running Lion perfect!

With chameleon i can't startup lion with the speedster patch, only with revoboot!

Really Thanks!

VultUx · August 11, 2011

Hi,

After too much work and thanks to the guys from P8P67-M PRO thread I fixed my DSDT to my motherboard and now I start to try Revoboot again.

With Chameleon or Chimera is booting fine, but with Revoboot Im having this KP:

I put FakeSMC in S/L/E and recreate the cache with the command:

touch /System/Library/Extensions;kextcache -system-caches;kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel

But is not working, looks like FakeSMC don't load in time.

Someone have some tip?

buoo · August 11, 2011

Where did you put DSDT.aml and DSDT_PR.aml? The right path is /Extra/ACPI

Are you sure you didn't make mistakes editing the settings.h?

VultUx · August 11, 2011

Hi buoo!

Where did you put DSDT.aml and DSDT_PR.aml? The right path is /Extra/ACPI

Im using Revoboot, so I put my DSDT and SSDT_PR and SSDT_USB inside /RevStart/Build/ACPI then I use the option 3 to Revoboot recreate the Config files (data.h).

In the file setting.h I set the options:

STATIC_DSDT_TABLE_INJECTION 1

STATIC_SSDT_PR_TABLE_INJECTION 1

STATIC_SSDT_USB_TABLE_INJECTION 1

Are you sure you didn't make mistakes editing the settings.h?

Yeah, probably I did something wrong.

Here the complete setting.h that Im using.

//===================================================================== END =====

EDIT: Hi buoo, I think I found, if I enable the option PRE_LINKED_KERNEL_SUPPORT I have KP, I need to disable and recreate the cache.

One thing weird that I discovered (maybe you guys already now) that a need the file AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext always patched with speed_stepper to Revoboot works,

with Chameleon I don't need because Im using the ROM already patched that Flaked released.

RevoBoot
