OC 0.6.9: Prelinked injection SMCProcessor.kext () - Invalid Parameter

[indiekiduk]

Upgraded to 0.6.9, latest Lilu, latest VirtualSMC inc plugins, noticed can't read CPU temp, did some investigation and noticed the SMCProcessor is not loading. Unfortunately the OC log doesn't output what the name of the invalid parameter is so I'm stuck!

00:849 00:561 OC: Prelinked injection SMCProcessor.kext () - Invalid Parameter
00:858 00:008 OC: Prelinked injection SMCSuperIO.kext () - Invalid Parameter

Invalid parameter usually means that either one of the entries in your config.plist are wrong, or you have the order wrong and VirtualSMC isn't there to link against.

SMCProcessor/SMCSuperIO both depend on VirtualSMC, so VirtualSMC needs to be before those two kexts in your config.plist.
I'm not seeing anything else wrong with your entries taking a quick glance at them

Thanks for your prompt reply, you were exactly right! I moved VirtualSMC above and that fixed it. I had no idea the order mattered but it seems obvious now. Thanks again.

Use ocvalidate utilitie.

Thanks yep that does detect this problem

 

m@xmac ~ % /Volumes/EFI/Utilities/ocvalidate/ocvalidate /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC/config.plist

 

Kernel->Add[2] discovers SMCProcessor.kext, but its Parent (VirtualSMC.kext) is either placed after it or is missing!

Kernel->Add[3] discovers SMCSuperIO.kext, but its Parent (VirtualSMC.kext) is either placed after it or is missing!

CheckKernel returns 2 errors!
