stuck

It appears that the USB 3 driver that I used from multishit IS a hack of the LaCie drivers you referenced. And when I have that installed, IORegistryExplorer does see the USB 3 controller but when anything is plugged in to it, the system locks up...

A little update on the USB issue... I feel like an idiot. It turns out that usb 1A has been working all along. I just couldn't tell, because it is an internal usb, and the TrueVisionHD webcam connected to it. The left side USB that I have been having problems with is actually USB 3.0 by NEC. From ubuntu, LHS USB is: USB Controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 04) 1033:0194 I tried installing the NEC/Renasys USB3 driver with/without the IOUSBFamily rollback. Eitherway it didn't work. When I plug anything into those ports, the system crashes and freezes. But since I can't even see this USB controller in my IORegEditor, I'm back to thinking this requires a DSDT fix??? (correct me if I'm wrong)

Cassio and Oldnapalm, I want to thank you again for your help in getting my DSDT patched. I'm back at work this week so I haven't done much... I will be posting my Lion install steps over at tonycrap and linking my dsdt steps back to here. The all in one patch for my DV7-6B32US is attached. I repatched my DSDT using this and it works. Should I submit this patch to a specific thread? The Fn keys are weird though, the Volume keys seem to change the volume as reflected by the Icon on the task bar and the volume bar moving on the screen. But in reality, the audio volume didn't change. Also, after using the aio patch to patch a fresh dsdt (instead of patching previously patched dsdt), I started experimenting again with your suggestions to get the LHS usb to work. And it seems that Oldnapalm's patch triggered this during boot-up. The port still doesn't work, but I'm wondering if it is a good sign?

Thanks Cassio, I'm getting a couple of errors and don't quite know how to fix it... // into method label _CRS parent_label ^^MEM2 insert Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) { If (IGDS) { Return (CRS) } Return (Buffer (One) {     0x00 }) } // into method label _PRW parent_label GLAN remove_entry end Invalid command // into all code_regex External\s\(\\TNOT\) remove_matched end Invalid command

Hi Cassio and Oldnapalm, I'm interested in putting everything I've done into a single patch and submit it here to help others with my same laptop. The existing patches are simple enough, I'll just put them into a single txt file separated by ; but few other changes were required that I don't have a patch for. Could you help me with that? ORIGINAL UNMODIFIED CODE; Method (PAPR, 0, NotSerialized) { If (ECON) {} Else { Return (Zero) } } FIXED CODE; Method (PAPR, 0, NotSerialized) { If (ECON) {} Else { Return (Zero) } Return (Zero) } THE ALTERNATIVE FIXED CODE BELOW ALSO WORKS TOO; Method (PAPR, 0, NotSerialized) { Return (Zero) } And this one ORIGINAL UNMODIFIED CODE; Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) { If (IGDS) { Return (CRS) } } } } } FIXED CODE; Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) { If (IGDS) { Return (CRS) } Return (Buffer (One) { 0x00 }) } } } } Then there's also the Sleep GLAN issue discussed earlier Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized) { If (WOLE) { Return (Package (0x02) { 0x0D, 0x04 }) } Else { Return (Package (0x02) { 0x0D, Zero }) } } Fixed code Device (GLAN) { Name (_ADR, 0x00190000) }

Thank you Oldnapalm, the patch didn't work... Still have the same USB error messages in kernel log. I wonder if "VendorSpecificDevice@1a110000" could be connected to the fingerprint reader that is built in to the laptop? Now in IORegistryExplorer it shows 2 of what ever was there before under EHC2 HP TrueVision HD@1a12000 HP TrueVision HD@1a12000 VenderSpecificDevice@1a110000 VenderSpecificDevice@1a110000

Thanks for your continued help Cassio.. And HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone here. IORegistryExplorer show both hubs affected by the EHCI patch, Both physical ports on the right are under: EHC1@1D EHCI Root Hub Simulation@1D HubDevice@1d100000 AppleUSBHub IOUSBInterface@0 @1d110000 @1d120000 There's another device here: EHC2@1A EHCI Root Hub Simulation@1A HubDevice@1a110000 AppleUSBHub IOUSBInterface@0 VendorSpecificDevice@1a110000 But no matter which USB port I plug into, nothing appears under this device... the USB related messages in kernel.log are: AppleUSBCDC: start - initDevice failed and occasionally USBMSC Identifier (non-unique): 3S9B0A44004C 0x3f0 0x3207 0x100 Also, my wifi card does not show up anywhere in IORegistryExplorer nor System report. It shows up in ubuntu with: lspci -n 07:00.0 0280: 14e4:4727 (rev 01) lspci 07:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) So I'm guessing the OS doesn't even see the card. Would that be a DSDT problem?

Tried it, unfortunately no changes with this patch. BTW, this post here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=247900&view=findpost&p=1746833 seem to suggest that my wifi will work with this enabler http://www.osx86.net/view/556-enabler_wireless_adapter_bcm43xx.html if DSDT was fixed. But I'm not sure what fix he is referring to?

How would I know?

Once again Cassio, you are awesome. Thank you very much for your help and Oldnapalm's help. Removing the method (_PRW section as you suggested got arid of the GLAN reason for wake up. But EHC1 and EHC2 popped up as wake reasons. So I followed your advice and patched the EHCI patch for sandy bridge laptop and Voila the sleep works again. I still don't have the left side USB's working. I don't know if that is a DSDT thing or a Hardware thing?

I am not using EHCI patch for sandy bridge, just oldnapalm's patch, should I be? You're right it was GLAN, it was really late last night when I posted, sorry. I tried to remove the line below GLAN device: Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized) but tons of errors popped up when compiling.

Awesome, oldnapalms patch worked. But only the USB ports on the right side of the machines work. And now when I put the machine to sleep, it wakes up automatically Wake reason: GLEN

Thanks for the suggestions Cassio and Oldnapalm, I will try each of these patches. But I have a question on the HPET patch. My DSDT doesn't have IRQs in the HPET section at all so do I use this "new HPET" patch: into device name_hid PNP0103 parent_adr 0x001F0000 remove_entry; into device name_adr 0x001F0000 insert begin Device (HPET)\n {\n Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0103"))\n Name (CRS, ResourceTemplate ()\n {\n IRQNoFlags ()\n {0}\n IRQNoFlags ()\n {8}\n Memory32Fixed (ReadOnly,\n 0xFED00000, // Address Base\n 0x00000400, // Address Length\n _Y09)\n })\n Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)\n {\n Return (0x0F)\n }\n Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)\n {\n Return (CRS)\n }\n } end and just add this section into that patch? IRQNoFlags ()\n {11}\n IRQNoFlags ()\n {15}\n Or just create a new patch using the link you provided? His code seems to be just a section of the entire patch.

Cassio, you are a genius! Thank you so much. Just patching DTGP and DualLink on my dsdt got the laptop to boot to full resolution and HDMI properly detects a secondary monitor. Since I've already patched the AICPUPM sleep works as well. It does seem to take 10-15 seconds for the lights to turn off though. Pressing any key wakes it up immediately. I am now seeing: AppleUSBEHCI [0xfff....]: unable to get filterInterruptEventSource and AppleUSBEHCI [0xfff....]::UIMInitialize - error occurred (0x0...) Patching EHCI for sandy bridge laptops doesn't seem to fix this. and the USB ports are useless at this point. Also I'm not sure if any of this is important? Transcript Offline - Buffer Pool Allocate [181000] failed VoodooPS2SynapticsTouchPad loaded No interval found for . Using 8000000 VoodooPS2Trackpad: Synaptics TouchPad v7.5 I'm off to try the kernel patch to get rid of the cpus=1 problem and finding proper drivers for all wifi and Battery stats etc. Thanks again.

I followed each of the suggestion in the section after usual patches. 1. kextstat shows AppleLPC is loaded - so I guess LPC is not needed? 2. I don't have any HPET problems in boot and no mention of it, in kernel.log - so I guess HPET patch is not needed? 3. I did patch the AICPUPM but did not notice any differences except sleep actually turns off the screen now, but the power light is still on and I can't wake it back up. Kernel log shows "ACPI_SMC_PlatformPluging::startForReal - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out" -- before or after the patch. 4. Could not find any references to EHCI or UHCI in kernel.log until I patched AICPUPM, so I applied the EHCI patch, didn't seem to make any difference... 5. Could not find any references to Wake or Wake reason 6. Audio: I couldn't figure out if that applies to intel HD audio or just the Azalia audio? 7. DTGP applied, didn't seem to make a difference? 8. SMBUS, I don't know what the smbus kext does, and didn't read anywhere about whether I need it or not? 9. Shutdown, works fine - so I'm guessing I don't need it... other errors in kernel.log: nstat_lookup_entry failed: 2 errors relating to applehdadriver eg. Sound assertion "false ==codecFound" failed in AppleHDADriver at line 1449 goto handler SNB Framebuffer didnot show up, unload virtual bool IOHIDEvenSystemUserClient::initWithTask .....: Client task not privileged to open IOHIDSystem for mapping memory AppleUSBCDC: start - initDevice failed (showed up after patching EHCI) In the meantime, I'm only able to boot into my Lion disk using: -f cpus=1 busratio=22 arch=i386
