Try with ACPI_10_Support as 0

Try with ACPI_10_Support as 0

Thanks Raulllll, works with ACPI_10_Support = 0

If I set ACPI_10_Support = 1 and PRE_LINKED_KERNEL_SUPPORT = 1 I have a KP in AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.

flAked · August 12, 2011

Maybe AICPUPM wasn't patched in your prelinked version yet?

VultUx · August 12, 2011

Maybe AICPUPM wasn't patched in your prelinked version yet?

Hi Flaked,

Im using that ROM 0713 already patched that you release, with chameleon is enough, but with Revoboot is not, I still need to use speed_stepper in AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, looks like Revoboot bypass the BIOS.

Is working now, I did other test and the problem happen only with ACPI_10_Support = 1.

Thank you guys!

flAked · August 12, 2011

If you flashed the modded BIOS then AICPUPM crashes for some other reasons, SpeedStepper is not necessary in that case, as it does the same thing.

Bypassing the BIOS is not really possible

Glad its working, though. Most likely it was just the ACPI setting.

VultUx · August 18, 2011

Hi guys,

I saw that DHP reached 20K in geekbench using Revoboot (DHP Overclock Revoboot), I have the same board P8P67-M PRO and I put in the BIOS all cores = 47 but I reached only 16K with geekbench.

Someone knows how to overclock with Revoboot?

flAked · August 18, 2011

Current RevoBoot has automatic SSDT_PR generation, which let's you define custom Turbo Ratios in BIOS. That's the simplest way to overclock. This technique wasn't explained in a guide yet, I plan to include it in my write up.

Besides, I think Geekbench also benefits from fast RAM, so even with the same CPU clock you might get lower scores.

Hi!

Can anyone help me set up "settings.h" for my system?. Only 2 Pstates and no turbo

15/08/11 18:10:13,000 kernel: MSRDumper CoreMulti(8) 
15/08/11 18:10:13,000 kernel: MSRDumper PStatesReached: 8 20

upload settings.h: settings.h.zip

I tried revobuilder:

1.- Install Git and xcode

2.- Download source:

3.- Build user config (no edit settings.h)

4.- Toggle target OS lion

5.- Complie (Compilation was successful and show this files: boot, boot.sys, libsa.a, libsaio.a and machOconv but as I install it?? copy boot in root??)

After compiling you need only "boot" file, put It in the root.

A question, don't you need ssdt_pr tables? Do you prefer to use the native speed stepping?

Thanks for reply!

Use DSDT patched by Mald0n! and SSDT without edit, following this post (LINK) with "get_acpi_tables.py" in Osx Lion (no ubuntu). Everything inside the folder EXTRA (DSDT.aml, SSDT-0.aml, SSDT-1.aml, SSDT-2.aml)

Archive.zip DSDT/SSDT

Thanls!!

buoo · August 20, 2011

The ACPI tables must be added in the Extra/ACPI folder.

You can't use this syntax: SSDT-n.aml , you could use the automatic P states' generation or use an SSDT_PR.aml

SKATERR · August 20, 2011

Ok, I added dsdt.aml in ACPI folder but i don´t now how create a SSDT_PR.aml...

When you say "automatic P states' generation", is add:

<key>GenerateCStates</key>

<key>GeneratePStates</key>

in "com.apple.Boot.plist" ??

Thanks!

This is only a Chameleon's option, moreover Sandy Bridge is not supported, so It can't be used.

As I told you, RevoBoot is able to generate a SSDT_PR to help you.

Set It to 1

#define AUTOMATIC_SSDT_PR_CREATION	1

If you wanna try to create a SSDT_pr, you can find an example at the first page right in a post of mine.

Looking around in your setting.h I saw that you set Static DSDT & SSDT, but you are talking about DSDT and Extra folder, you are making a little mess. I suggest you to read here https://github.com/RevoGirl/RevoBoot/wiki/W...Use-Static-Data

However I think that while the tests It's wrong to use Static tables, only after being sure the system works good you can convert the ACPI tables to little endiand (then STATIC).

SKATERR · August 20, 2011

Ok, open revobuilder, edit settings.h (set AUTOMATIC_SSDT_PR_CREATION to 1 and other static options to 0). Compile and overwritten boot file in root (without Extra folder) . But now the system restarts constantly (loop)

Thanks for your patience

blackosx has a bug in his code,
Open up BuildUSB.sh in the Scripts folder and edit this line:

#rawDisk="/dev/disk"$( echo $flashDriveDeviceNumber | tr -d "/dev/rdisk\"s123456789")

Change it to:

rawDisk="/dev/disk"$( echo ${flashDriveDeviceNumber:9:1})

Save and re-run.

Should work

I get a reboot after a couple of seconds.

Thanks for the spot STLVNUB. I've updated the BuildUSB.sh script to fix the problem.

After booting with the usb drive and get past this:
boot0: GPT

@anibalin - Are you still having this issue?

As you normally see that when boot0 can't find boot1.

anibalin · August 23, 2011

@blackosx hi mate, yes, sadly I still have that issue. I cannot press F8 to put -v because (it clearly shows it doesnt find the next step (boot1)) so it restarts.

blackosx · August 23, 2011

hmm... strange as your previous screenshot clearly shows boot1h being written to /dev/rdisk3s2.

I've just tested the script at this end and it works fine for me.

Can I ask you to format the USB flash drive again (using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format with a GPT as before) and try the whole process again from scratch? I've made a couple of tweak to the scripts of RevoBuilder for other checks so it's probably worth downloading/updating RevoBuilder to the latest version.

Tired of trying I took another flashdrive and it worked. Odd. Really.

Anyway, I can boot now but I get a kp:

Tired of trying I took another flashdrive and it worked. Odd. Really.

Strange, but good to hear the script works.

Anyway, I can boot now but I get a kp:

Not too sure what your problem is, but the Faulting CPU: 0x06 doesn't look good.

What hardware are you running as that might help someone here to identify your problem?
