I'm starting to get into dsdt editing etc.
Now on my laptop there are some weird things going on.
#1 check this console message

Now lappy has an i3 sandy bridge 2357M with 2 cores and four threads so I understand that it would have 4 cpu's enabled but 16 ?
this is a case of generic writing of DSDT and the other tables I'm sure.
The DSDT itself shows 8 cpu's :
[code] Scope (\_PR)
{
Processor (CPU0, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU1, 0x02, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU2, 0x03, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU3, 0x04, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU4, 0x05, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU5, 0x06, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU6, 0x07, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU7, 0x08, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
}
However I do not know how to fix this, because I dunno if hyperthreading virtual cores should have a mention in the dsdt.
Also what other tables will need to be fixed?
Another thing I noticed is that in windows I get much longer battery life even though according to hw monitory the multi does go down to 8x maybe the corresponding voltage is not reducing I dunno.
Another odd thing is that nullcpupowermanagement is loaded, but speed step is still working weird.
