I have a nicely working 10.6.4 install on a P5Q Asus with a Q6600 CPU and 8800GTS video. Bios is 2002 by Juzzi.

It works well, but being a 'tinkerer' by nature I really wish I could get rid of these two error messages which appear in the kernel log

** AppleSMBusPCI::start failed to get acpi path for provider

and

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out

I've removed the appleintelcpu management kexts and rebuilt the cache. I've made sure the dsdt is patched and all looks good in the ioregister.

I'm only running the following kext in /extra/extensions:

fakesmc, nullcpupowermanagement and OpenHaltRestart

But yet these error messages still torment me - must be my OCD !

Any suggestions ?

Tim
