cyclonefr Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Sorry mac.nub for posting here again, just tell me if this post is useless and i'll delete it : I compiled AppleSMBIOS from the source, without any modifications. The thing is the file has a different size / content than the binary from 10.5.2 update. Anyway, I tried it, and I couldn't shutdown / reboot anymore, so I can confirm the bug isn't due to what you touch, but to the source that gives us a different kext that the binary we have from 10.5.2 update... That's really weird. EDIT : Tried with 10.5.0 SMBIOS, it's the same, the source is different from the binary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really weird. Yeah, Dune mentioned that on IRC in a certain channel. And no it's not useless it's definitely useful for other people to know - It is indeed odd Apple providing different source publicly I'm sure they have their reasons though, and it definitely explains why we had the err, difference of opinions shall we say? ~mac.nub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I gave the iMac SMBIOS a try and it is still reporting as a MacPro. Any reason why? I did all the removing of caches, Extensions.mkext, and booted with -f. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InferiorYeast Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Are you using netkas' kernel? If you are it will always show as a mac pro regardless of the applesmbios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublove Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Any chance mac.nub that you could look into why a modified smbios.kext stops 'logmein' from working? A few people have posted in netkas's forum about it already. As soon as you use an smbios other that an original logmein will no longer enable. My take is that if one program is stopped from working correctly then there could be others that don't also. dublove --------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.nub Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Any chance mac.nub that you could look into why a modified smbios.kext stops 'logmein' from working?--------- Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000 Crashed Thread: 5 Application Specific Information: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSCFData characterAtIndex:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x512f70' 0 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x917530f4 ___TERMINATING_DUE_TO_UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION___ + 4 I installed it myself and looked at the crash logs (part of which are above), seems it's actually due to com.apple.CoreFoundation rather than the AppleSMBIOS. Quite honestly I have no idea how this would be fixed, I would therefore suggest that you just the Apple's default AppleSMBIOS if it seems to work with that for whatever reason. Unfortunately the AppleSMBIOS binary is different to the source they provide, so it is unlikely it can be fixed by compiling a new one etc. Sorry that I'm not able to be of anymore help. ~mac.nub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 mac.nub : maybe I'm actually wrong I just did 4 reboots on a row and got the same bug with vanilla 3 times... So maybe I was lucky since the beginning... Anyway i'm gonna retry your SMBIOS and i'll report back if SOMETIMES I can reboot after sleep. If so then you were right and the bug isn't coming from SMBIOS AT ALL. Another mystery, again I'm sorry for reporting false informations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rik26 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'm sorry if I'm using this post but I'm looking for appleacpiplatform.kext v1.0.5. Where could I find it? In kalyway release there is the 1.0.3 one... I've searched in the forum but nothing... P.S I've tried and installed the applesmbios and everything is ok! Thanks macnub!!

You may be right, but for me, using netkas' kernel makes modified applesmbios.kext files have no effect on the model identifier, whereas using the vanilla kernel I am able to choose whichever model I want by modifying the Applesmbios (macbook pro currently).

ovof Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I patch the kernel, so shutdown pb are gone. I halt all cpus but master cpu, before ther kernel call acpiplatform, and now, it's ok 100 Try this, shutdown all yours cpu but one, and try shutdown. TO do this, use cpupalette which comes with Xcode BTW, when i put applesmbios, i cant ssee any difference in system profiler : error when reading. Do i have to change anything else ?

ovof Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 here's the magic code if (cpu_to_processor(x)!=master_processor) processor_shutdown(cpu_to_processor(x)); If you have a quad core, do this for x=1,2,3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flibblesan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 mac.nub: As always, you have produced something brilliant! The new AppleSMBIOS works great on my Badaxe2 board, using the default.
