DSDT Gigabyte P55M-UD4 for BIOS F8?

Hello,

Thank you for your help Tony. I switched MBs to the P55M-UD4 to save some money and get the 889a audio.

The latest BIOS is F8 which I upgraded to, but the most recent DSDT on Multibeast is for Bios F7.

Is there a newer version, or is there anything I could do to help you update this?

Thank you...

UPDATE: New version can be downloaded from Tony's list...

Hello,

While I found the F8 version on the P55 list, when I put it in Extra my boot has a kernel panic, when I go back and use Multibeast with the F7 version, or do a fresh install and us multibeast with the F7 version in multibeast, everything works.

My guess is this has to do with permissions, although I saw elsewhere that someone with the same MB has the same problem, so maybe it is the DSDT itself. What should the permissions be set to for the DSDT and what is the easiest way to do this (command line or otherwise)? Thank You.

I had the same problems. I just swapped my blown UD2 for a UD4. Tony's old P55M-UD2 DSDT booted just fine. I had no audio, but it booted. The P55M-UD4 F8 DSDT caused a kernel panic every time. I replaced the DSDT with the P55M-UD4 F7 one from the latest MultiBeast, and that one booted up and ran just fine.

It is possible that the F8 DSDT source that they edits were made to was bad.

Can anyone do a clean extract of the vanilla DSDT using either Everest on Windows or via a linux LiveCD?

Post it here for tony to edit and repost.

Thanks.

Here's my extract from Everest. I hope this helps. If I need to do anything differently, please let me know.

Thanks, I'll take a look and make the edits.

I put all of tony's edits in for you and compiled.

Let me know how it works.

Thanks! That one seems to work perfectly.

I have the F7 Bios and the Multibeast files from about 6 weeks ago and everything works including sound and graphics without any other modifications. The system is running OS 10.6.3 When I did that upgrade it fixed the problem i was having with Quicktime not playing correctly and causing a jerky mouse movement.

The F8 DSDT from MacMan seems to work well, no hangs on boot. No noticeable changes from the F7, but video, and sound work. Sleep works but you lose USB mouse if you don't use the power button on the case to wake up. So no noticeable change from F7 DSDT, but always good to be up to date.

I just dropped it in to /Extra, then ran the Disk Utility in Multibeast. Not sure if that was necessary or not.

Thank You very much!

EDIT: Actually, I am getting strange behavior with my BIOS after updating, it is not saving the changes that I make and doing some random things. I am going to try going back to the F7, maybe this has nothing to do with it, but it is peculiar. I rebooted several times and after working well the very first reboot, after that it was resetting my BIOS features to defaults, including reset to IDE. The BIOS was "smart" and would ask me if I wanted to use the last working BIOS setup. It kept doing this. I went back to the F7 version and it went away. I am worried the CMOS reset edits in this are suspect, but maybe it was something else I did. In any case, back to F7 version BIOS from Multibeast and everything is working great again.
