@airwalk he was talking about a post i made about your dsdt. i noticed when i prepare my own dsdt i have 2 RTC length lines in 2 sections but yours has one RTC length section under one CMS thing. i'm curious about why that is. if i'm not making any sense let me know and i'll paste the code.

@ banini_jeque & slayer:

Well, I just switched my 2nd HDD from sata 1 to like 4 and it showed up in os x just fine. weird.

banini_jeque 01-23-2011 08:24 AM

@msinfo_us and fq360, I would also like to see if native pm works with the newer bios version and the 6 core chip. I've switched to an ASUS P6T WS for now, but my EVGA E767 still hasn't sold on craigslist. It might also be interesting to compare a raw dsdt dump with a 6 core cpu vs one from 4 core cpu on the same board and bios version and see if anything is different that might be causing the issue. Then perhaps the dsdt could be modded to make native pm work on the 4 core as well using a newer bios version, but I have my doubts.

I have two nvidia 9800 GTX+ which are CUDA compliant but on the nvidia site there is no mention of the drivers supporting them. I'll try it any report back.

Thanks

Has anyone gotten cpu temps under os x?

Mutant_Tractor 01-28-2011 04:58 PM

Hi Guys!
Im running Vanilla 10.6.6 thanks to your epic guide but there are a few problems, so I'll start with a spec-out:

i7-980X
EVGA E760 X58 (BIOS 77 - Latest - Supports up to 16 Core CPUs)
2x ATI HD5870's XFire
Corsair Dominator GT (3x2GB)
2x Vertex 2 120GB
Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB

So the problems began upon the update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.6 via the combo updater:

10.6.3 booted perfectly in 64-bit mode, where as now with 10.6.6 installed I HAVE to go in via safe mode otherwise I get a light blue screen.

Spotlight has randomly stopped working (may just be as I am in safe mode)

Native Power Management will not seem to work with my CPU - I have patched my DSDT with what I believe is all the patches needed for this to work except for SpeedStep and P+C States - I don't think this is required for NPM?

iAtkos S3 V2 works perfectly in 64-bit mode so I am at a loss as to what could be causing my problem.

Okay so main things I want to get working:

64-bit NON-Safe mode
NPM
SpeedStep + Sleep would be great too although there is a severe lack of 980X DSDT's patched for this CPU around.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Myles

UPDATE:
Just did some tinkering and aparrently my kernel AND extensions are running in 64-bit mode!
I ran GeekBench and got a pitiful score for the spec: 13676 in 64-bit mode and 12500 in 32-bit mode :(

In system profiler it shows all 6 cores and 6GB RAM however :/

Is there something wrong for me to get such a low score?

msinfo_us 01-29-2011 02:56 AM

Couple questions:
1. Are you running Chameleon RC5? What version? Do you have CStates enabled and PStates disabled? Do you use DropSSDT=yes and your own SSDT's or DropSSDT=No?
2. What MAC model are you using? You might want to try few diff matching your system or create your own model to match exactly with your HW (I am using 11,1 and it had major impact on my geekbench. With i920 I get 14780 ... so you should certainly see more on your system. PS NPM enables turbo so this could also impact your score.

I have no experience with iAtkos S3 V2 and used vanila DVD to install, so may be who does have knowledge can comment.

Mutant_Tractor 01-30-2011 05:50 PM

Hi msinfo,
1) (a) Yeah Chameleon RC5 via the installer rev 693
(b) CStates are enabled and PStates are as default (I assume this means disabled)
(c) I don't use either so I'm imagining DropSSDT=No is default
2) (a) I'm using a MacBook Pro6,1 - 2.66GHz (Mid 2010)
(b) To create the actual SL install though I just use iAtkos on the target machine
(c) I'm using iMac11,1 as well and have tried Mac Pro 4,1 neither with an advantage over the other
(d) NPM most definitely isn't working on my machine as I get KP's as soon as I drop NullCPUPowerManagement.kext so my guess is that this is irrelevant to my score?

It's not the score I'm worried about though it's the lack of being able to boot without safe mode enabled, At the moment I can boot perfectly in safe mode with 64-bit extensions and kernel but flat-out refuses to boot without -x enabled, It stops just on a light blue screen - in verbose mode it is the point where it says something about CPUPowerManagement...

banini_jeque 01-30-2011 08:31 PM

@Mutant, I want to know more about your kernel panic when you drop NullCPUPM, specifically if it's a type 13. If you could post a pic of it that would be great. I think everyone else is mostly using DropSSDT=Yes. Also I don't think most people on this thread are using any distros like iAtkos. I have a suspicion that caused your video issue when you went to 10.6.6, but I don't know, so my suspicion probably isn't worth much.

Mutant_Tractor 01-30-2011 10:40 PM

Hi banini, Just as a side note I'm not using the ATI GPUs to set it up for simplicity's sake, I'm using an old 7800 GTX that I found lying around (I've seen NV works much better with OSX than ATI)

I'll screenshot the KP once I'm at home (away for a few days atm)

Am I right in assuming that the SSDT tables interact with the BIOS to set voltages etc?

fq360 02-11-2011 01:03 AM

hi all well i recently updated my bios to new evga 78 version, i have my own dsdt and ssdt extracted through win 7

all works well apart from apple intel cpu management, keep getting kernel panics withoul nullcpu

seems like im stuck without speedstep/native etc.. and cant revert back to version 44 cause of hexacore support, if anyone wants to look over my dsdt and ssdt for a resolution i can post them up for you

fq360 02-11-2011 01:19 AM

by way although my dsdt is patched my ssdt has nothing done to it so not sure if p-c states are correctly configured if anyone wants to check i will post for you

thanks

fq360 02-11-2011 12:35 PM

here is a pic of my KP with Nullcpu removed- says no hpet available

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/c...0/IMG_0197.jpg

fq360 02-11-2011 09:47 PM

guys you are not going to believe this, i am using appleintelcpupower management - no nullcpu kext at all so far in bios i have only enabled speedstep, not sure if its working or not as not quite sure how to check ioreg and extensions

on boot up it did say something about c states but was too quick to read in verbose mode

if someone can chime in and let me know how to check - also one more thing i changed my hpet slightly in DSDT as i compared to xxxslayeriixx and noticed few differences will try with old dsdt see if that is the case post back soon

Mutant_Tractor 02-11-2011 10:05 PM

@fq360 - Goto console and look at kernel.log ;)

fq360 02-11-2011 10:12 PM

just rebooted and straight on again here is pic boot verbose showing states and hexacore

How to extract SSDT
 
I have Everest Ultimate on my Windows XP comp and I am looking for instructions on how to generate SSDT files. I have an EVGA x58 Micro that I am trying to get the idle temps down on.

mm2311 03-16-2011 06:52 AM

10.6.6 evga x58 e761 bios 77
 
I have the EVGA X58 Board:

141-BL-E761-A1 BIOS 77

I have been having Finder freezing issue, in which I launch Finder or applications only to hang up.

Has anyone played or patched a DSDT for this version. I was just using Airwalk's, but I'd prefer to create my own.

I have ENABLED
- Dummy OC on for 3.2GHZ
- Turbo Mode
- Turbo Performance

Just wondering if anyone else has had these issues, I think it happened after I updated to BIOS 77
Before the BIOS update 10.6.6 was running flawlessly.

mm2311 03-16-2011 02:48 PM

Fstab & ntfs
 
Looks like I resolved it. Just in case your Finder is freezing.

Disable any NTFS drives from automounting.

I had two read/write entries I set in my etc/fstab file to allow for me to write to my Windows 7 drive and my NTFS USB flash drive.

UUID="your hard drive" none ntfs rw,noauto
After the rw, I added the noauto, so that the drives do not mount in FINDER on boot.

Everythings seems to be running smooth now, without applications or Finder freezing.

Let me know if anyone else has had this issue. I went Crazy trying everything else with BIOS settings and kexts.

banini_jeque 03-20-2011 02:20 AM

@mm2311, can you boot without nullcpupm?

mm2311 03-20-2011 02:48 AM

I have been trying, but I haven't be able to get it to work yet.

Each time I crash my system i have to boot up Windows 7 recopy to NullCPU back in to the Extra folder.


I have a Snow Leopard for VMWare that I can boot up and attach my Sata drive via USB or I use MacDrive to see the HFS volume in Windows 7.

If anyone has gotten boot up without NullCPU on 141-BL-E761-A1 BIOS 77, please let me know.

banini_jeque 03-20-2011 09:51 PM

We need a bios expert to help us study the differences between the pre version 44 bios and version 44, because that's where the problem with cpupm starts. I started digging, but I don't understand it well enough. Somebody who really knows bios programming should be able to figure out the issue. Until we get someone like that on board, or someone from EVGA, I think we're all SOL with bios 44 and newer.

JaE-V 03-24-2011 04:22 AM

Any known issues with 10.6.7 update guys?

emenelton 03-24-2011 03:24 PM

X58 Micro
 
I have SL 10.6.6 working now with Jae-v and msinfo's p.24 method.

- EVGA x58 Micro/i7950 -
Idle temps are: 38/33/37/33
Geekbench 32: 9587

Network and Audio good Sleep disabled
GFX String Yes

I hope if any one has questions about this board that I can help. I appreciate the work others did and would like to give back.

emenelton 03-25-2011 11:47 PM

I updated my EVGA X58 Micro to 10.6.7 and had no issues.

emenelton 03-26-2011 12:44 AM

If any kind Hackintosh guru could look at my comsole log.This is what happens to my computer after coming out of sleep. If I don't use sleep I am pretty good. This is not related to the 10.6.7 update. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

I apologize if I'm not posting this info correctly.

Disable any NTFS drives from automounting.

I had two read/write entries I set in my etc/fstab file to allow for me to write to my Windows 7 drive and my NTFS USB flash drive.

UUID="your hard drive" none ntfs rw,noauto
After the rw, I added the noauto, so that the drives do not mount in FINDER on boot.

Everythings seems to be running smooth now, without applications or Finder freezing.

Let me know if anyone else has had this issue. I went Crazy trying everything else with BIOS settings and kexts.

I've been having these issues as well. Looks like your fix worked for me. It seems that I cannot have my Windows volume mounted. I can mount my ntfs storage volume, just not the windows................

Thanks for the tip!

Just downloaded it last weekend and attempted to do a fresh install on a usb drive and book and double fault KP right away. seems to be that Lion does not use any kind of mkext rather it uses whats known as kernalcache file. Next step is going to be get a working install on my Macbook pro then install boot loader and kext on that drive and try it with the evga machine. Ill keep you posted.

ok finally got around to installing Lion, good news is that it runs just fine with the name Extra folder from snow leopard and same dsdt. Bad news audio doesnt work out of the box. Have to edit legacy889hda or use the applehda.kext from snow leopard.

FYI.. use chameleon 755 boot loader

xxxslayeriiixxx 05-06-2011 02:03 AM

thats good to know. cant wait to install it after the final release.

sweet, excellent info...that should make upgrading possible i assume

Hi guys,

Me again, I am once again trying to install SL on my machine, have followed the guide by the letter (used a mac to install through os) and extracted and fixed the dsdt but every time I go to boot it just restarts, I have used Wait=Yes to try debug it, the last line it gets to is loading darwin x86_x64 and then when I press enter it restarts instantly, no KP, warning or anything...

Should I revert my bios setting back to default as I am running it at 4.2ghz at the mo (980x) but have. Made sure everything is AHCI (should I be using intel or jmicron sata ports?)

Anyone that has ever had this problem let me know, would help a great deal.

Myles

Mutant_Tractor 06-18-2011 11:17 PM

Also, I the only thing I have changed from the last time I did this (when it kind of used to work) was the bios, I have also then redone the dsdt to match this, though it shouldn't make a difference as long as the dsdt is patched.

I'm probably doing something very elementary wrong?

JaE-V 06-30-2011 06:03 PM

What bios and boot-loader are you running? Sure you followed the steps exactly? Shouldn't have a problem....


Anyone else tried the 10.6.8?

Mutant_Tractor 06-30-2011 09:23 PM

Latest BIOS with Chameleon RC5Pre12... seems to me the latest BIOS may have broken it :/

Followed the instructions to the letter.

JaE-V 07-01-2011 01:30 PM

yea i haven't touched my bios still running stock out of the box

JaE-V 07-02-2011 04:57 AM

10.6.8 smooth update, no issues here...guess we're ready for lion...will install the latest beta here soon and report compatibility

JaE-V 07-16-2011 03:24 PM

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=260594

doesn't get much easier than that...you'll need to delete that appleTyMCE driver *for system to boot* and use your old IOnetworking file from snow as well as a the new voodoohda or etc. if need be. I have an updated extra's folder if anyone needs it for lion..you'll need the new fakesmc

annihil8tion 07-16-2011 07:17 PM

Guys I have had a working system for the longest time.

SL 10.6.6
EVGA X58 Classified
GTX 285 2GB SC
6GB Corsair

My GTX 285 died. I have an XFX Radeon 5850...

Naturally I cannot boot my system. What would be the easiest way to boot it with this card?
