I attached also the .dsl file . Attachment 394

Hi!

Hello!
I have followed some of your guide and got my network to run(THANKS ). It all seems to run stable at 64bit. However, I can not get the sound working.

I have installed snow loepard using Chameleon RC2 v3 and used these Kext :
AD1988b.Fix.kext
SleepEnabler.kext
fakesmc.kext
OpenHaltRestart.kext
Disabler.kext

Setup:
Asus P5K-E WIFI
E6750 @ 3.4 GHz
4GB RAM
250GB SATA HDD
GeForce 7300LE 256mb

Where do I find my "DSDT.aml" ? The replacement, just drag and drop?

Sincerely Joey (:

apologize for bad English

You need small tool named iasl to decompile and compile your DSDT.aml to DSDT.dsl and the other way around .

to get the DSDT from your system you need another script called getDSDT.sh

You can get your "starter kit" here :[ATTACH]tools.zip[/ATTACH], just download it and put it on your Desktop

I included a copy of my DSDT.dsl ( use it only for comparison don't drag and drop on your system it will not work ! )

to get your DSDT from your system open terminal and go to to your "starter kit" aka tools directory

e.g

cd Desktop/tools/

./getDSDT.sh

you will now have a new file called dsdt.dat . you can't modify this so you have to decompile it first

./iasl -d dsdt.dat

and you should see something like this :

Intel ACPI Component Architecture
AML Disassembler version 20080926 [Oct  4 2008]
Copyright (C) 2000 - 2008 Intel Corporation
Supports ACPI Specification Revision 3.0a

Loading Acpi table from file dsdt.dat
Acpi table [DSDT] successfully installed and loaded
Pass 1 parse of [DSDT]
Pass 2 parse of [DSDT]
Parsing Deferred Opcodes (Methods/Buffers/Packages/Regions)
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Parsing completed
Disassembly completed, written to "dsdt.dsl"

and now you can modify the newly created dsdt.dsl (you can also compare it to the one i added in the "starter kit" to see where are the differences )

just open it with a text editor and add your patches ( read about patching ad1988b here and when you finish adding, just recompile the file with this command:

./iasl -ta dsdt.dsl

if everything goes well you should see this:

Intel ACPI Component Architecture
ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20080926 [Oct  4 2008]
Copyright (C) 2000 - 2008 Intel Corporation
Supports ACPI Specification Revision 3.0a

ASL Input:  dsdt.dsl - 10047 lines, 335962 bytes, 4861 keywords
AML Output: dsdt.aml - 37950 bytes, 1074 named objects, 3787 executable opcodes

Compilation complete. 0 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 47 Optimizations

and you will have a file called dsdt.aml in your directory . Just drag this file on your root volume and restart

how yooou doin'

Many thanks all of you from this post.


I have an annoying minor problem starting from using leopard.
The Asus P5K-E wifi/ap has two eSATA ports which controlled by jmicro controller. One of the eSATA port is connected to an HDD enclosure.

I found that when the hdd enclosure is online (powered on) it will slow down the bootup time (i.e. bootup time took longer) and the hdd enclosure icon will not display on the desktop. To show it, I have to power off and on.

anybody experience this issue ?

lancelotu !
Thank you for your information.
It works good.
I added Device (HDEF) parts of your dsdt.dsl file to my own dsdt.dsl file, and compile dsdt.dsl file using iaslMe.
No error.
Thank you again.

Hi! lancelotu!
I follow your guide for modify IONetworkingFamily.kext,and it works good in 32 bit and 64 bit kernel.
I have used Leopard 10.5.7 at another drive.I tried your modified method in Leopard system,but it doesn,t work.
Do I use different information in Leopard ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi! lancelotu!
Never mind.
I found my mistake.
When I mdae Extensions.mkext,I made mistake.
I fixed my mistake,and now everything works fine.
Your guide is correct.
Thanks again.

Not for sleep but for HD icons you should be good to go by installing

Hi

Sleep work for me with this method :
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=168014

i apply this method for SATA and it work, no more need for AHCIportinjector.kext

audio also work fine with dsdt patch and AD1988b.Fix.kext front panel (headphone and micro) work, the only problem is low microphone level and i have microphone only in front panel (someone know how to fix the volume level ? ? )

Now i got all working fine and stable in 64 bit with chameleon 2 rc1

note : when i boot for the first time after instal i need to boot with "archi386" 32bit , and launch the Kext utility after that boot normal, and all work

boot direct with the default 86_64 cause kernel panic

(sorry for my english )


My motherboard : ASUS P5E + 8800 gts 512

here is my dsdt file with fix for : (Graphic) - (Audio) - (Sata) and (Sleep fix)
