Get it, then go to your /System/Library/SystemConfiguration folder

Copy the new bundle into the /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ folder

Reboot

 

Let me know if it works

do i just change the power management or do i need to do somthing with the power source....i have iatkos with 10.5.2 with the vanilla kernel

 

Nothing to do with the source, just use the bundle.

 

Just try it first, then post back your results. I have the same iAtkos install on my notebook, and following the instructions i listed here, gave me back my battery meter, so I know it works.

i appreciate your help but still nothing under energy saver for power management indicator....................do i need to repair permissions

 

Never hurts to do it anyways. Just do it through the disk utility, and reboot.

You need to install iATKOS like this

 

with vanilla kernal without Stock AppleACPIPlatform.kext or

patched kernal with Stock AppleACPIPlatform.kext

 

You can not install both vanilla kernel and Stock AppleACPIPlatform.kext

 

There is a post over on the uphuck forums about this. I'm running iATKOSv1r2 updated to 10.5.2 with working battery meter.

 

Has nothing to do with powermanagement bundle

Well do you mind if you loose what you have installed?

 

If not, format drive like before, then customize install select EFI boot (the drop down arrow, there are three items, not sure what they all are since im at work doing this from memory but make sure the stock appleacpiplatform.kext is UNCHECKED) Under patches, install Natit AppleSMBIOS.kext and the option to remove thermal kext. And any other kexts that you need for your hardware. Be sure to install the Stock kernel this time.

 

Once this is done, you "should" have your battery meter up and running. Install the kalyway 10.5.2 update.

 

You "should" still have the battery icon.

 

 

If you don't want to loose everything, and Im not 100% sure this will work

Download Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/Pacifist.dmg

Be sure the have your iATKOS dvd installed

Once open, select open packages

The top package is the main system package, in there you will find

-System

--Library

---Extentions

----AppleACPIPlatform.kext

 

You can place a check next this, click "install" on the top left hand side, install with admin priv. type password and click continue.

This should install the non stock AppleACPI (since you are now running 10.5.2 with stock kernel right?)

 

so non stock AppleACPI + stock kernel = battery meter

 

Reboot computer and keep your fingers crossed.

 

If the above doen't work, I know for sure the top one will!
