Also, adriangb, you said your CPU was running really hot... Did you ever resolve that? If you're not running it, you might want to check out NullCPUPowerManagement.kext. I've downloaded it from the myHack download page, and they have this to say about it:

Quote:

Disables AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext – this extension is required until you have built a proper dsdt for your system. Without this or the dsdt your system will not boot (kernel panic). IMPORTANT NOTE: It is suggested that everyone use this kext for now even if your system runs fine without it. There is an unresolved issue with the way AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext handles HPET on non-apple hardware that causes the CPU to run much hotter than normal.

What that kext does is it returns power manegment to the BIOS. I have resolved the temperature issue: without NullCPUPowerManagement.kext and OS X native power manegment I get the same temps as in Windows 7. I do however get +10ºC if I use MacPro4,1 (which is a common problem, and althou there are some fixes, I haven't tried them).
So no, the answer is NullCPUPowerManagement.kext is no use to us since we already have native power manegment for our board.

Stephen.Eidson thank you for the help, actually I have some trouble with the boot.plist file, I think my need some more command.
Best

com.apple.boot.plist and NullCPUPowerManagement.kext are unrelated, but if you post your com.apple.boot.plist I'll be glad to se if I can find any obvious errors.
It might help if you point out what problems you think you have.

Could any of you post the SSDT's for out motherboard? I'm trying to work on sleep, but it's hard without my rig.
You can get them using DSDTSE.

joeboxer · #66 03-22-2010, 12:42 PM

That's my com.apple.boot.plist

joeboxer · #67 03-22-2010, 12:45 PM

try again, sorry

Well, for starters why did you put all the GPU info like that? Why not just use GraphicsEnabler or a regular hex string? I'd remove busratio=20 if you have native power management (it shouldn't be needed), and try booting with -x32 in case there are some kexts that are 32bit only. If you use AsereBLN's booter there is no need to use boot-uuid=613727BA-68E6-3459-AAC0-852C47FF8A45.
What I see that could be a major problem is that there is no DSDT or SMBIOS specified, these two are needed to boot OS X right.
What boot-loader are you using?

joeboxer · #69 03-22-2010, 02:43 PM

Hi
well, I can boot with the Empire EFI CD only.
It's possible for you to adjust the .plist so that I can just use?

I do not know AsereBLN's booter.
If you have any suggstion is welcome.

No, there is no "correct" playlist, it all depends on what boot-loader, kexts, etc you use (so I'd have to "guess" your setup). Do you have chameleon on a USB drive? If you do, just send me a copy of that and your chameleon files (or version at least) and I'll get it going (or at least I'll try). Or you can just use an installer and files I can give you.
AsereBLN's booter is a modified chameleon RC4, which is supposed to have cleaner code (I haven't looked at it thou), has no embedded theme (and therefore should load faster), and has other fixes like restart, UUID and memory detection, etc. If you haven't, you should give it a try.
