@milancaUsed to disable Intel CPU power management.
I sort of figured that much.
Where can I download it?
i´ve installed the CPUdisabler.kext but after updating to 10.5.5 i have the AppleIntelCPUPowermangement.kext in the extensions-folder. is that normal? i delete this manually as the updating process.
yeah it just disables apples kext making it safer to update
If you have Intel, why not just use DSDT.aml? It seem's to be the newest "work-around" instead of a disabler kext.
The reason AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext stop's hack's from booting is because it look's for HPET features in the processor.(which most board's don't support)
Using DSDT.aml assign's an IRQ to the processor for HPET.
Doing this allow's AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext to load and run natively, so you can do away with disabler's and successfully run Apple Update's.
*** As a side note, DSDT.aml also fixes a supposed bug in AppleRTC.kext… A kext that will also give trouble to hack's in 10.5.6... Personally, I think by the time Apple releases 10.5.6, the bug issue won't exist, so RTC won't be an issue. Just an assumption…
