hello oldnapalm,

i'm having problem with DSDTEditor. I have sony vaio vpceb36fg laptop & i'm trying to install snow leopard 10.6.3 Retail DVD on it but i'm getting errors. I tried with iboot,iboot legacy, Empire_EFI, LegacyEmpire_EFI, Darwin Boot tools, & at last not least chameleon manually on the disk.

I Tried it with my internal dvd rom AD-7700h & now my DVD writer is not working & now i restore the dvd's iso( made earliar )on a pendrive with my vmware8 machine &still i got errors.Then i read abt DSDT & I came here to this form via tonycraposx86.com .

I got a working DSDT of vpceb34en from http://www.osx86.net. it nearly match my system spec like cpu ,chipset, dvd,gpu ati, and screen 15.5 but i have a full HD Display, & ram,hdd & gpu are different.I tried with it but no luck.

Now i found a patch of vpcea16fg.i didn't find find patch for my bios DSDT which i exracted with DSDT editor. so the spec of the vpcea16fg are closely matches to my system even os except the cpu i have i& the display. i tried this patch on my DSDT & go to the installation process still there was no luck. then i tried this vpcea16fg patch to the working DSDT of vpceb34en & still no luck with this time also.

I tried the two editors DSDTSE & the DSDTeditior & patch the DSDT.dsl i'm getting error like "error object not found " with no name of the error. i'm attaching the extraced with all the dwnd files plz help......

the errors im getting with the DSDT are:-

I read abt that this bios is efi enabled then why can't i boot direct from the dvd or usb disk. i have spalshtop browser in my laptop which starts without os start or preboot without os.

A patched DSDT won't help you to install Mac OS, you must be able to install using original DSDT from BIOS. With the system running you can patch DSDT to fix possible problems.

 

i'm getting error like "error object not found " with no name of the error.

Should be fixed by the "fix errors" button in the compile window. All these errors are caused by 2 syntax errors.

[rajverma2255]

Thank You Casio for a speedy reply,

As I mentioned i'm not able to fix the DSDT errors in windows. they aren't fixed by the DSDTSE methods. i applied the "Notebook Core i Nehalem" patches & i compiled it then i got 178 errors, before applying patches i got 166 errors. i 'm not able to fix the DSDT. Now what should i do find a way ...

Thank you.

[Cassio]

Just comment this (add // before each line)

//                If (LNotEqual (TBAB, Zero))
//                {
//                }

 

PARSEOP_IF can't be directly inside a device, just inside a method (syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_IF).

Click on the syntax errors in the compile window to find it, there are 2 instances.

The Mac version auto fixes it, I just tried, should work in Windows too.

There's one error left, easy fix (Length = Maximum - Minimum + 1)

DWordMemory (ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed, MaxFixed, Cacheable, ReadWrite,
   0x00000000,         // Granularity
   0x00000000,         // Range Minimum
   0xFEAFFFFF,         // Range Maximum
   0x00000000,         // Translation Offset
   0x[color=#FF0000]FEB[/color]00000,         // Length
   ,, , AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)

Thank you casio,

first one i understand, & it completely worked in windows. but what abt the second one , what should i have to do with it , should i copy this code where the error is occured or what?? and what abt the warning??.

the _T_0 ,_T_1...... warnings are solved with replace _T_0 to T_0 , _T_1 to T1.....

& any other patches should i use to patch the DSDT..like power button , lid , wirless, EHCI , RTC & all...

i'm attaching system info of hardware which is compatible for OS X. what patches should i use??

Thank you.

I told you already, I think your problem is not about DSDT. If it is, I have no idea how to fix.

Try other boot CD

Thanks casio,

Do i use my patched system DSDT in this bootcd to bootup to the installation screen??

[Cassio]

No, use the patched DSDT only after the system is installed and running.

[rajverma2255]

No, use the patched DSDT only after the system is installed and running.

 

Thank you casio for your help & support.

Need Aptio Bios tools because your bios is an EFI one.It's risky, Bad modding = Blackscreen...

Very high skills in assembly language is highly recommended, it's not an easy job....

But if you have sufficient knowledge it's very interesting to learn how to mod it 

For sure, the motherboard maker have it, The Aptio tools are not Free, very expensive tools, you can search over the web,

perhaps chinese or Russian site have some tools.

 

[rajverma2255]

Thank you Doze for your support & i'm sorry for late reply. i've passed through a family crisis in this meanwhile so i couldn't logged in. i will try the tool with web help if it worked thats great for me.

 

Thank you.
