I've been working on making a working DSDT for my shiny new Biostar TH67+ with Core i5 2500S. I've gotten pretty far thanks to all the resources here, projectosx, insanelymac, and lots of other places (even the official ACPI docs helped)! :headbang:

I've done the following so far:
:) Added HDEF (ALC892) with partial success . The device is detected with AppleHDA (stock 10.6.7 or rollback 10.6.2), with the unified ALC8xxHDA.kext and with voodooHDA, but only voodooHDA will load the driver and play sounds (though it sounds like poo).
:D Native SATA. I even wrote a little kext injector to prettify the SATA ports (though I guess this will be obsolete once I finally get vanilla 10.6.7 working and it natively detects the Series 6 SATA ports).
:D Native USB EHCI.
:D SBUS hack.
:D SRBG to LPCB hack.
:D _T_0 to T_0 hack. (No existing _T_1 to replace).
:D CPU declarations, P-States and C-States. This last one was a challenge. Biostar has methods for all the power and throttle management, but doesn't declare the processors anywhere. I was able to find some code that helped me define the processors statically, but use the dynamic power management methods. There is one issue with this part though... Whenever I boot with this DSDT, my machine boots straight into Safe Mode even though I don't tell it to. :crazy: Any help with that one would be appreciated.

Here's my DSDT.dsl (I'm gonna post it in the "DSDT Database: Non-Gigabyte Submission Thread" too.
