Any idea how to do that after Kakewalk has installed Chameleon? I've never noticed any options when using the Kakewalk method.

Perhaps I could install Chameleon again with that option, it's time I got my head round doing a "manual" install but Kakewalk works very well and quickly on my setup.

Powermanagement can be enabled via the boot.plist that Cham uses. It's in /Extra folder where Cham is installed. I assume Kakewalk has a somewhat recent Cham installer.

 

Simply add:

 

<key>GeneratePStates</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>GenerateCStates</key>

<string>Yes</string>

 

To org.cham.Boot.plist.

Ok , adding those lines are within my capabilities but one thing I've never had to do is uninstall a kext. Do I just delete it and then run something like kext helper to rebuild the mkext file? or do I need to (shudder) use the command line.

That wouldn't work for me :( I deleted sleep and OHR kexts then ran kext wizard added those lines rebooted and neither sleep nor restart/shutdown worked. Installed the kexts, deleted those lines and it's working again.

I think I will leave it as it is for now.

Are you using nullcpupowermanagement.kext? I believe you have to in order to have it working with SleepEnabler.kext. That could be interfering with the powermanagement trying to be enabled via Cham's enable p/c states. Nullcpupowermanagement is pretty common among simple builds, it's why SleepEnabler is required for those setups. Enabling c/p states is beneficial so you're cpu can downclock when it's not really doing anything, using less power.

 

As for the Restart/Shutdown, that's definitely been fixed in Chameleon long ago, dunno if there'd be something system specific. Maybe even dsdt related, are you using one? Your board is similar to mine, and I remember my dsdt working with a wide range of Gigabyte P45 boards, I can always give you my dsdt and /extra files.

It will be. The CPU won't downclock, so it'll use a tad more power, with the computer running a tad warmer otherwise. Just remember you remove SleepEnabler kext before updates, as point updates have always so far needed an updated SleepEnabler kext, otherwise it KP's.
