| Device (TPM), help with removing its code from DSDT Just found out that the TPM device is a rarely used security feature that is part of some Intel chipsets, and doesn't seem to be used at all by OSX/Apple. TPMM and TPMA look to be directly related to TPM, so I see no problem in removing… | 10.X Core | 8,611 reads 2010-08-22 · 13 notes |
| Is this the right way to get my "base" DSDT info I used the program DSDTSE latest Windows version to extract my initial DSDT, then switched over to OSX 10.5.7 I then ran the OSX version of DSDTSE to compile and add some needed changes to that DSDT.dsl, followed with its installation in… | 10.X Core | 3,981 reads 2010-05-18 · 3 notes |

|---|---|---|
| Qoopz AnV xnu 10.4.0 Rel4 “I still get "TSC: Frequency = 0.0000MHz" for my Pentium D 2.8Ghz (with busratio set in boo plist), but otherwise everything seems to work.” | 10.X Core | 2010-08-28 41,686 dossier reads |
| TIP: If you get PANIC with no CLUES “Thanks for the tip, I will have to give it a try, as I've been having the occasional 'double kernel panic' randomly show up on my legacy 10.6.4 build. My BT MagicMouse also freezes up every once in a while, so who knows maybe this will fix …” | 10.X Core | 2010-08-16 23,080 dossier reads |
| Beware using other people's DSDT “I created my first DSDT file from Windows, using DSDTse for Win, while I still had AHCI disabled. Then after enabling AHCI, disabling the serial and parallel ports in the BIOS, plugging in and turning on all eSata drives I generated another…” | 10.X Core | 2010-05-18 18,615 dossier reads |
| Device (TPM), help with removing its code from DSDT “Ok, so just so long as I leave the comma in place, everything will be alright. Thanks for the info.” | 10.X Core | 2010-08-31 8,611 dossier reads |
| Device (TPM), help with removing its code from DSDT “I would definitely say it has to remain, as the other values are referenced throughout the DSDT. What I'm worried about is with the removal of TPME, the KBEP and MSAR references will not point to their proper values.” | 10.X Core | 2010-08-28 8,611 dossier reads |
| Device (TPM), help with removing its code from DSDT “I completely missed the part in your post where you removed the TPME from IndexField Thanks again, this is nice to know. But I would really like to know more info about the IndexField code, as it seems that removing a value from the middle …” | 10.X Core | 2010-08-28 8,611 dossier reads |
| Device (TPM), help with removing its code from DSDT “Thanks for the effort, but I've already done that to test it out. What I would like to know is what effect leaving the TPME value in IndexField may have down the road. But it would be nice to know why the OperationRegion(TPMM...) needs to b…” | 10.X Core | 2010-08-28 8,611 dossier reads |
| Device (TPM), help with removing its code from DSDT “There's no need to remove it, it doesn't nothing. Just make sure it's disabled in your bios and remake the dsdt and it should gone then. I did a thorough search of the DSDT, and only the above code and variable/constant is referenced by it.…” | 10.X Core | 2010-08-28 8,611 dossier reads |
| EmpireEFI 10.6 Install - Waiting for root device “I wish the myHack package developer hadn't started using "chocolate kernel" references. It took me a while to realize that it is just his own personal nickname for the snow.legacy kernel, no other difference. Anyway, yes you are right if yo…” | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 2010-05-18 6,137 dossier reads |
| Is this the right way to get my "base" DSDT info “I've just been browsing my system logs and came across my system's FSB frequency and bus ratio displayed by the 10.5.7 kernel: kernel TSC: Frequency = 2799.769854MHz, FSB frequency = 199.983561MHz, bus ratio = 14 Should I be adding these va…” | 10.X Core | 2010-05-18 3,981 dossier reads |
| Is this the right way to get my "base" DSDT info “I think I may have made a mistake, can someone verify this: I've been placing my DSDT.aml in the /Extra folder, but haven't been putting this location string in the Chameleon boot.plist, also located in the /Extra folder.
