Help Arrandale processor (i3 370m) Power Management

Help i3 370m Power Management

I'm new to hackintoshes and I thought my first attempt was successful until I realized my battery was draining a lot quicker than usual. Tried to disable "NullCPUPowerManagement" but got kernel panics.

AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=1 LocalAcpicId=0 Enabled
AppleACPICPU: Processor Id=2 LocalAcpicId=1 Enabled
AppleACP
^hangs

without verbose:
Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\" and some jibberish after that

Even tried making my own DSDT but that didn't go so well. Could someone help me with any of this please? I have sound, Ethernet, and QE/CI working this seems to be the only missing piece. I'm running Mountain Lion at the moment but I'm willing to downgrade to Snow Leopard as a LAST RESORT but it shouldn't come down to that. And a clarification, getting this to work should solve the infamous sleep issue? From what ive heard its suppose to be native, the 2010 macbook pro's use the same processor.
Goal: Power Management and sleep working properly

Laptop Specs:
Acer Aspire 5733-6629
CPU: Intel Core i3 370m @ 2.40Ghz (First Generation) Arrandale
Motherboard: Acer Aspire 5733 (CPU)




Dualbooting with Windows 8 with Easybcd and Chimera 2.1.1


Tried to upload unmodified dsdt but its too big.

Did you install patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext?

And you may need GeneratePStates=Yes, GenerateCStates=Yes, perhaps DropSSDT=Yes.

You need to compress it as ZIP, then upload...

Ill try that right now (Patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext) thanks for the tips, I have p and c states but I dont know what/have a ssdt. Is that something I need to make? First I'm hearing of it.
Attached my unedited uncompiled dsdt just in case. Really Appreciate your time

Alright installed the kext removed null and added dropSSDT=Yes but got another kernal panic. In verbose I get this: View attachment Kernal Panic.zip
So I'm going to take a wild guess but it seems like I need a DSDT; did some research and I dont think SSDT's affect me as I'm not classified as SandyBridge or IvyBridge processor. Any help/ suggestions would be great

Is this with patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext? If so, are you sure you installed it correctly including repair permissions & rebuild cache?

DSDT can play a role... so post your DSDT...

My understanding is that you don't need an SSDT for pre-Sandy PM. But I've never hacked a computer pre-Sandy, so I can't tell you for sure what's required.

I can I make an SSDT with AIDA64 if you want me to (According to the web). And yes that was with patched power management. I thought kext beast automatically rebuilt, maybe I should retry and manually rebuild. Attached is my Dsdt with an AIDA report.

Didn't really see anything wrong (as far as PM) in that DSDT...

What sysdef are you using?

Alright I'm gonna start by saying I'm sorry It turns out my processor is native IF i delete sleep enabler . BUT now that power management is up I have the issue of no sleep on screen flip and manual sleep wakes to an extremely dark screen with no functioning keyboard or anything. Do you have any tips for that? That's the last thing I need! feel so close (btw sleep enabler didn't fix any of that to begin with or atleast the one i had.)

As far as system definitions, well i don't think there is one i want early 2010 macbook pro(ill figure this one out im not hopeless), heres a screenshot

I don't know what 'no sleep on screen flip' means...

and manual sleep wakes to an extremely dark screen with no functioning keyboard or anything. Do you have any tips for that? That's the last thing I need! feel so close (btw sleep enabler didn't fix any of that to begin with or atleast the one i had.)

Sounds like brightness issue with display. Your Intel HD Graphics are not really supported so not surprising, but you must have it somewhat working... Do you have native brightness working (in SysPrefs -> Displays)?

What do you mean by 'no functioning keyboard or anything'... especially the 'or anything' part??

I'm not sure you'd get native power management working without one. Check to see what you have in /Extra/smbios.plist.

Well I have a laptop right so when you flip the screen (Close the lid that's a better explanation) its suppose to sleep. But My display is working properlyish! QE/CI is working great I dont have brightness though I didn't think much of it until now. Alright ill get on the system profile.
As far as brightness I found a hint : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...ss-for-intel-80860046-1st-gen-hd-gma-5700mhd/

By functioning anything I notice the mouse and keyboard arent responsive but then again, how would i know if the screens dim
Thanks for the tips! You seem to know what your doing/ talking about and your hints help alot.
