How to create your own DSDT using MaciASL

[Cugel]

Über noob trying to follow the guide, which seems fairly straightforward. I have a dual-boot machine and when I try to boot without the DSDT per the guide, nothing happens. That is when I hit "enter" (see below) nothing happens. Chimera still offers me the options to boot from osx or win7.

Is there any other way to boot without the DSDT? Would booting from unibeast achieve what is required?

Thanks!

​

Step #1

Boot without DSDT

• Boot the machine
• When you see Chimera splash screen, press enter
• Type "DSDT=NULL"
• Press enter

Regarding the topic, creating the DSDT is not much of a deal,
but fixing your individual DSDT is much more of a challenge that has to be told by someone,
i don't find any good wiki on the net telling what to do and how ... (

Why I would want to fix my DSDT is to
-enable sleep/wake funktion,
-fix device name of my graphic card
-and the list of memory modules

The ICH10 Intel motherboard runs fine, so fixing all of these would make my custom
mac pro a steady replacement of my broken macbook unibody.

In case you do have some workable ideas, please post, I am ready to experiment further.

Hi, it´s my first dsdt and I get those errors and I can´t save the file and continue ...

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, last night was too long.
When I applied the first patch from ASUS PJalm/Generic Sandy Bridge ... those 4 errors

Attach the file dsdt.aml

There is no way for anyone to diagnose with the error listing alone.

Sorry, now is the correct way.

Remove those 'If' blocks...

Example, from:

            Device (UHC1)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001D0000)
                If (_OSI ("Windows 2009"))
                {
                    OperationRegion (USBR, PCI_Config, 0xC4, One)
                    Field (USBR, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
                    {
                        URES,   8
                    }

                    Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
                    {
                        0x03, 
                        0x03
                    })
                    Method (_PSW, 1, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        If (LEqual (Arg0, Zero))
                        {
                            Store (Zero, URES)
                        }

                        If (LEqual (Arg0, One))
                        {
                            If (^^LPC.EC0.SW2S)
                            {
                                Store (0x03, URES)
                            }
                            Else
                            {
                                Store (Zero, URES)
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

To:

            Device (UHC1)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001D0000)
                //If (_OSI ("Windows 2009"))
                //{
                    OperationRegion (USBR, PCI_Config, 0xC4, One)
                    Field (USBR, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
                    {
                        URES,   8
                    }

                    Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
                    {
                        0x03, 
                        0x03
                    })
                    Method (_PSW, 1, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        If (LEqual (Arg0, Zero))
                        {
                            Store (Zero, URES)
                        }

                        If (LEqual (Arg0, One))
                        {
                            If (^^LPC.EC0.SW2S)
                            {
                                Store (0x03, URES)
                            }
                            Else
                            {
                                Store (Zero, URES)
                            }
                        }
                    }
                //}
            }

Then you can move on to the other errors this DSDT has...

OK, so I just a doubt, last lines I deleted were 4547 and 4548 but I have this error:

Do I have to delete line 4634 too ? with " //} "

No need to delete anything, but you do have to comment out both the opening brace and the matching closing brace, as I show in my example.
