itzalak Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hi everybody: I'm new user of Mac X 10.4.8 OSx86, but I have read a lot of it, installation guides, supported hardware, drivers (kext files), dual boots, etc... but want to tell you what is my personal "problem" I have a CLEVO M120W laptop: Intel M725 processor Intel® 855GME VGA 12.1" WXGA (1280x800) TFT 80 GB IDE HD, supporting PIO mode 4/ATA-66/100 (Ultra DMA) AC'97 2.2 Compliant Interface Intel® Pro/Wireless 2200BG The system works fine with windows XP The installation of Mac OS X 10.4.8 (jas, ss2, ss3, x11, power management...) goes fine and the system boots up well. I can start working but randomly (about 5 sec) the USB mouse dissappears and looks like the hard disk stops suddenly, after 5 seconds the mouse becomes and I can work again normally until it happens again (5 seconds more or less). I can hear how the HD stops so I think it could be a IDE problem. Somebody can help me? Maybe I must select boot system type="other system" in the BIOS? Thanks a lot and congratulations for this great forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Check Energy Saver settings and uncheck if it is checked "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzalak Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) I have done it but nothing happens. The system continues freezeing every 5 seconds. Any idea? Edited February 9, 2007 by itzalak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzalak Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 I have seen that the system goes to idle all the time (with activity monitor) so I booted up with -v and saw the next message: "PowerManagement emergency overtemp signal. going to idle" I used the hardware monitor to see the M725 proccesor temperature but only HD temp can seen. With windows everything goes fine (no temperature problem). I take a look to the device manager and my intel mobile m725 processor is not recognized by the system. Could it be the problem? Thanks a lot to everybody that is trying to help me, specially to macgirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I don't remember if there are any patched PowerManagement kexts, search on the board, or try deleting the PowerManagement kext. Glad to to hear that you found some "lead"/clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzalak Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 I have been looking about my problem and i found that in some systems there is an error temperature read caused by the trackpad but there is no "answer" to solve it. Thanks a lot for your help macgirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaS Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Try deleting the Appleintelcpupowermanagment kext..That should let your bios run your cpu fan and fix the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
