HP 4540s: Initializer list shorter than declared pkg length

[zoliky]

My specs:

HP 4540s laptop, i5-2450m, Intel HD3000M, BIOS 68IRR Ver F. 01

My DSDT.dsl

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1924024/dsdthp.dsl

IASL

I use iasl20121114 to compile and decompile the DSDT.

The problem

This is how the original (Hewlett-Packard) DSDT looks.

~iasl: Compilation complete. 0 Errors, 6 Warnings, 275 Remarks, 4643 Optimizations

 

I have more than 200 remarks:

and much more...

 

Ok, let's examine the first remark:

 

dsdthp.dsl  15838:             Package (0x1A)
Remark   5063 -                               ^ Initializer list shorter than declared package length

 

Package (0x1A) <--- this is line 15838
{
   " ", 
   " ", 
   " ", 
   0x01, 
   0x00, 
   0x01, 
   0x02A7, 
   0x03, 
   " ", 
   " ", 
   " ", 
   0x00, 
   " ", 
   0x00
},

 

There's a way to fix that by replacing Package (0x1A) with Package () but doing that for more than 200 remarks isn't fun. I don't know if removing (0x1A) is correct.

I think the problem is somewhere else, maybe a bracket is missing in the factory DSDT. I searched three forums on the internet, but I didn't find a solution.

Can you please take a look at my DSDT? It is already decompiled. Should I ignore these remarks and warnings?

Your time is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Deleting 0x1A is the correct fix, if you leave the package length blank the compiler will count and set it automatically.

In your example the actual length is 14, if you set Package (), after compile/decompile it will become Package (0x0E).

[zoliky]

Cassio, Thank you very much! You help is greatly appreciated.

I removed that 0x1A value, compiled then decompiled the file. I didn't see 0x0E in the file.

The compiler set that removed value back to 0x1A.

Wow. Thank you so much!

Did you edit my DSDT or do you have the same specs/BIOS ?

I edited your dsdt.

May I ask how did you obtain the correct Package () informations?

For example for this code:

My DSDT:

Package (0x1A)
{
               "HP QuickLook", 
               "", 
               "\\System Configuration\\Device Configurations", 
               Zero, 
               One, 
               Zero, 
               0x0137, 
               0x03, 
               " ", 
               " ", 
               " ", 
               Zero, 
               "Disable", 
               0x02, 
               "Disable", 
               "Enable"
}, 

 

Your fixed DSDT:

 

Package (0x10)
{
               "HP QuickLook", 
               "", 
               "\\System Configuration\\Device Configurations", 
               Zero, 
               One, 
               Zero, 
               0x0137, 
               0x03, 
               " ", 
               " ", 
               " ", 
               Zero, 
               "Disable", 
               0x02, 
               "Disable", 
               "Enable"
}, 

 

My dsdt have 0x1A, and your fixed dsdt have 0x10

{
               "HP QuickLook", 
               "", 
               "\\System Configuration\\Device Configurations", 
               Zero, 
               One, 
               Zero, 
               0x0137, 
               0x03, 
               " ", 
               " ", 
               " ", 
               Zero, 
               "Disable", 
               0x02, 
               "Disable", 
               "Enable"
}, 

 

My dsdt have 0x1A, and your fixed dsdt have 0x10

count how many objects have within the { } 0x10=16

Thank you. I appreciate it!

Can you please upload the patched DSDT?

Have you got HD 3000 working with QE/CI on 10.8.2?

My HD3000 works without patches or enablers.

I changed this address in AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext

IOPCIPrimaryMatch
0x1C3A8086

 

to this:

IOPCIPrimaryMatch
0x1E3A8086

 

Please note, this change works only with Intel 7-series motherboards. I use a HP 4540s laptop - i5-2450m sandy bridge.
