Lenovo B570

jac-tict · August 16, 2012

Installer loading gets stuck on my B570! Right after the BIOS gets stuck on black screen.

On another laptop installer start!

I put iAktos L2 on an USB drive, I put a MacBookPro8,1 smbios, I installed latest Chameleon.

Do you have any suggestion?

I reply to myself. Now I have repartitioned the USB drive with Disk Utility and works (previously I have partitioned the USB drive with GParted in Ubuntu but wasn't bootable by the B570).

First, macinsane, thank you very, very, very much for your instructions.

Second, to everyone else who's posted in this thread (especially Gokul), thank you!

Third, I'm so so close to getting my Lenovo B570 working perfectly under 10.7.4. I was hoping that someone with more experience could lend me a hand.

I'm using a 'whitelist' BIOS that allows my Atheros 9285 to work (the laptop arrived with an unsupported card). Default settings were applied and saved.

I installed 10.7.2 first by using 'iAtkos L2' burned to a DVD. Despite my best efforts I couldn't get it put on a USB drive and have it boot.

Once 10.7.2 was up and running, I followed your instructions (DSDT, kexts, etc.) and had no problems except for poor battery life.

I updated to 10.7.4 using the combo update from Apple. I re-installed NullCPUPowerManagement before the update, then restored everything later. I had no trouble getting to 10.7.4 and getting everything working again, but the battery life was still poor.

So, I figured I'd try Gokul's files, especially his SSDT.aml and updated kexts. I used MSRDumper to verify that various power states were working, and they are. I'm assuming that means SpeedStep is functioning? I'm not entirely sure.

After checking my kernel.log, I can see a few potential problems, so here are my questions:

Aug 20 00:19:42 localhost kernel[0]: AppleACPICPU: ProcessorId=1 LocalApicId=0 Enabled
Aug 20 00:19:42 localhost kernel[0]: AppleACPICPU: ProcessorId=2 LocalApicId=1 Enabled

Aug 20 00:19:42 localhost kernel[0]: AppleACPICPU: ProcessorId=8 LocalApicId=0 Disabled

I thought the i3-2330m was a dual-core processor. What's up with the other processors being enabled? Are the CPUs listed here actually 'threads'?

Aug 20 00:19:42 localhost kernel[0]: AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: Turbo Ratios 0000
Aug 20 00:19:42 localhost kernel[0]: AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: (built 13:08:12 Jun 18 2011) initialization complete

Should 'Turbo Ratios' be 0000?

Aug 20 00:19:57 Isos-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - WARNING - LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized

I get these messages whether or not I have Chameleon generate C-states or not.

From bdmesg:

Chameleon 2.1svn (svn-r2047) [2012-08-17 20:52:15]

Is the flex_ratio being unusable a bad thing?

This is with C-states enabled, so Chameleon is generating them. It's loaded the SSDT.aml file from disk, but why is it looking for another file, SSDT-1.aml?

tl;dr: how do I get my battery life to be normal? It seems to go down by 4% at a time every few minutes!

I just remembered. I don't think I'm using Gokul's SSDT.aml file. I'm using one that I found on another forum that was designed for the i3-2330m processor. It allows hitting many different states as verified by MSRDumper.

In case anyone's interested in my SSDT.aml file.

Have you enabled USB legacy in the BIOS?

I can't answer to questions about 10.7.4, but for poor battery life in 10.7.2 follow macinsane advices: install kexts from PowerManagement.zip (patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext and IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext) and remove NullCPUPowerManagement.kext and SleepEnabler.kext.

I get around 2.5h of battery life.

Yes, USB legacy mode is enabled. Should it be off?

When I first had 10.7.2 installed, I used macinsane's AICPM and IOPPF kexts. I could get 45 minutes to 1 hour of battery life. When I updated to 10.7.4, I was first using those exact same kexts because I knew they worked. I deleted NullCPU and SleepEnabler according to the instructions each time. Then, when the battery life didn't increase, I switched over to the AICPM and IOPPF kexts from Gokul's zip file. Upon reboot I got a kernel panic, so I reverted to macinsane's AICPM kext and all was well again. I'm able to boot normally and go about my business in OS X, but the battery life is still terrible.

I know the battery is alright since I was able to get 2.5 hours out of it using Windows 8 RTM. I installed it just to play around with it, and the battery had no issues while I used a browser, watched videos, etc.

So, a patched 10.7.4 AICPM kext causes me a kernel panic. Do I really need the new version of that kext for great power management?

jac-tict · August 20, 2012

Right, USB legacy should be enable. Try to make the partition where you will restore iAktos smaller than 6GB (partition USB drive using Disk Utility and remember to select MBR mode, not GUID).

Here the list of kext loaded in my system that give me about 2.5h of battery life (no differences with macinsane). Compare with yours. Hope this helps.

I have not done any experiment with 10.7.4 nor 10.8, yet.

I notice that org.chameleon.Boot.plist included in macinsane zip is a bit scrambled. Maybe the problem is there. Here my org.chameleon.Boot.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

jac-tict, I started with the easiest fix, which is the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file. Using yours everything seems to work as before, but the battery just keeps draining quickly as it did before.

I'm going to check my kexts against yours now. Hopefully there will be some answers to be had there.

Isopropylique · August 21, 2012

Alright. I've gone through my kexts list and I have noticed that most of our directories don't match up. Some are due to me updating to 10.7.4, and others exist in my list but not yours.

Here are the main differences:

The only reason I updated to 10.7.4 was to run the latest Xcode. Otherwise, I would have stuck with 10.7.2 and tried to fix my power management problems from there.

With your Chameleon boot.plist file, I still get the C-states error just like before.

It's cheating, I know, but have you tried workaround like this: http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/01/how-to-spoof-your-version-of-mac-os-x.html

Isopropylique · August 21, 2012

It's cheating, I know, but have you tried workaround like this: http://www.macbreake...f-mac-os-x.html

I wish I had known you could do this before I updated to 10.7.4!

Grrr..... all in good fun though. :lol:

I might try re-installing 10.7.2 from USB this time using your advice about how to get it booting correctly and just try the version number spoof.

jac-tict · August 21, 2012

It's just an idea, I'm not sure that xcode is dumb enough to be fooled by that hack.

I am successfully able to install mac osx 107.2 using iAtkos L2 dvd. I have the following laptop

Lenovo B570e

core i5-2450M 2.5ghz

HD 3000 graphics

Atheroes 9285 wireless lan

Realtek High Definition Sound

Realtek Lan Card

PS/2 Keyboard

Elan PS/2 trackpad

I am facing these problem though:

1. My trackpad does not work so i have to use an external mouse.

2. The wireless works but it does not show all the available wireless networks and when it shows it disconnects often. Its not stable.

3. Can I update to Mac OS Mountain Lion? I have the .app file from the app store. If i can, please suggest what precautions do i have to take and do i need to backup my .kexts and also how to restore those kexts after update.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

besttech · August 22, 2012

I had the same trackpad issue but then i used a different appleacpips2nub and voodoops2controller from this site. It fixed my problem

http://nawcom.com/os...ntroller/kexts/

I didnt use the voodoops2trackpad kext.

Install with kext utiility, reapair permissions and reboot.

Upgraded to 10.7.4 with everything working to get wifi working on 10.7.4 I used the files that Ifreak-x provided on page 10 of this thread

I didnt try running mountain lion yet.

amynvirani · August 22, 2012

was anyone able to install kext for the card reader?

Isopropylique · August 23, 2012

I have not been able to find a way to get the card reader working.

It didn't work for me. May be i installed it incorrectly. Do i need to remove any other files before adding the new files?

Secondly, i am facing some glitches with the graphics. Any idea how it can be solved?

Thirdly, my wifi doesn't detect all the wifi. In win7 it detects abt more than 6 but here sometimes a couple sometimes none.

Thanks

iFreak-X · August 24, 2012

I am using the PS2 Driver from M.beast. No Problems. Uninstall first the voodoo driver. For graphic glitches try the newest FakeSMC, from M.beast too

Does it find the networks with a good connection? Maybe OS X sorts out the ones with an too bad connectivity.

data14 · August 27, 2012

This is my 1^st post so bear with me. Let me thank everyone on this forum especially macinsane for his great work. My laptop is the same as the 1^st post except the CPU is i3-2350 and it came with Broadcom Wi-Fi card. Below are the steps on my installation:

I purchased a new hard drive and partitioned it into 4 partitions. I installed Windows 7 on the 1^st partition.

I purchased a new card (AR5B195) and replaced the Wi-Fi card.

I made an usb from iAtkos L2 on a borrowed MAC. I could not boot from usb so I burned a copy of iAtkos into a DVD. Boot w/DVD 1^st then I selected the usb.

Installed Lion and as have been said had to install smbios from 1^st post to boot into desktop.

I installed the AppleHDA and DSDT but could not pass the gray logo screen, so I removed both of them.

Boot to desktop and updated to 10.7.4

Edit the IO80211 kext and got the Wi-Fi to work. Bluetooth works, if I restart from windows. If I shut down and restart from osx, I lose it.

What does not work: sound, HDMI and sleep (camera worked OOB).

Because I have a different wireless card I think that I need a DSDT without wifi.

If someone needs more detailed instruction let me know. Can someone post AppleHDA and DSDT for 10.7.4

Thanks

besttech · August 27, 2012

Look on page 10 for the dsdt and files. Extra_BL

data14 · August 27, 2012

I will try that when I get a chance.

Thanks for quick reply

data14 · August 28, 2012

I tried DSDT and AppleHDA from that post. Now I have sound and HDMI but I lost my WiFi. Reinstalled the IO80211 kext but no WiFi.

To be exact WiFi is there but I cannot turn it on. Any suggestion.

besttech · August 28, 2012

did you use the the io80211 kext from the post, did you try to turn it on from the system prefs, did you reboot?

data14 · August 28, 2012

I used the kext that I was using before. I tried to turn it on but nothing happens. I rebooted a couple times. Does this DSDT have a wifi section? if it does I need one without it.

besttech · August 29, 2012

did you use all the ssdt in the post too and put it in the extra folder because then it should work fine

amynvirani · August 29, 2012

I am using the PS2 Driver from M.beast. No Problems. Uninstall first the voodoo driver. For graphic glitches try the newest FakeSMC, from M.beast too

Does it find the networks with a good connection? Maybe OS X sorts out the ones with an too bad connectivity.

I tried that as well but no success. The trackpad still does not work. I guess glitches in graphics disappeared. I will use it and see if i get any more of it. Wi fi not working properly. Sometimes it shows wi fi sometime it doesn't. I copied the whole extra folder from freakx except for the bootloader since i use another boot loader.

Since you have the AR5B195, I have no kexts for you, but what worked for me (using an AR9285 here) was downloading the most recently dated kext I could find. The first major problem is of course making sure your device ID number is in the kext plist file (that's the problem I had under 10.7.2 and the driver macinsane posted). The second major problem is finding a driver that works well with 10.7.4.
