Hi, after many and many and many tests to have a working installation of Mavericks, finally I have a successful osx installed in my laptop, although some devices are not supported (wifi and audio codec).

My system definition:

System: ACER ASPIRE E1-570G
CPU: Intel Core i3 3227U Ivy Bridge GT2
Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 2048 Mbytes / NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M 2112 Mbytes
Video res: 1366 x 768

MB Chipset: Ivy Bridge
SouthBridge: HM77
BIOS: Insyde Corp v. 2.06 10/08/2013

Motherboard: ACER EA50_CX chipset Intel HM77 (Panther Point)

Audio Controller: Intel Panther Point PCH High Definition Audio Controller VEN 8086 DEV 1E20C
High Definition Audio Codec: Realtek VEN 10EC DEV 0282

Wireless Card: Atheros AR9565 Wireless Network VEN 168C DEV 0036
Network: Broadcom BCM57786 NetXtreme PCI-E Gigabit eth. controller VEN 14E4 DEV 1683

I focused on Power Management following these two guides:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/146870-guide-native-power-management-laptops.html

and this:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...vericks-native-cpu-igpu-power-management.html

but something not working right, because Intel Power Gadget gives a CPU frequency of 0,80 Ghz, and also HW Monitor indicates 792 Mhz. Moreover I see that in History Graphs of HW Monitor there are missing Fans & Pumps and Voltages.

This is my /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist:

Try ssdtPRgen.sh with "-w 3" flag.
 
Thanks for reply..
I've tried with ssdtPRgen.sh -w 3, but no success..:(

After Chimera, at the gray screen with Apple logo the rotating icon stops and the system freezes..I'll try with a chimera verbose mode for having more info..

A question: in this link:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/146870-guide-native-power-management-laptops.html

I read:

Testing PM

After installing the custom SSDT, you should reboot and test it. You can test using DPCIManager (1.5) by using the PStates monitor. AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo.kext will generally provide more accurate results.

In addition, for Ivy Bridge or Haswell CPUs, you should run IORegistryExplorer and verify that X86PlatformPlugin is loading under the CPU0 node.

The question: I verified that in my IOReg there's no X86PlatformPlugin..how to install it and where can I download it? Is it necessary for my configuration or?

Post updated files.

Boot verbose... probably some other issue unrelated to CPU PM.

No X86PlatformPlugin (with Ivy or newer) indicates incorrect SSDT or incorrect version of AppleACPIPlatform.kext.

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.
 
Hi, sorry for my late answer...

First of all I re-post my system config here because in my personal profile there's my assembled hackintosh configuration...my laptop config is:

System: ACER ASPIRE E1-570G
CPU: Intel Core i3 3227U Ivy Bridge GT2
Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 2048 Mbytes / NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M 2112 Mbytes
Video res: 1366 x 768
MB Chipset: Ivy Bridge
SouthBridge: HM77
BIOS: Insyde Corp v. 2.06 10/08/2013
Motherboard: ACER EA50_CX chipset Intel HM77 (Panther Point)
Audio Controller: Intel Panther Point PCH High Definition Audio Controller VEN 8086 DEV 1E20C
High Definition Audio Codec: Realtek VEN 10EC DEV 0282
Wireless Card: Atheros AR9565 Wireless Network VEN 168C DEV 0036
Network: Broadcom BCM57786 NetXtreme PCI-E Gigabit eth. controller VEN 14E4 DEV 1683
So, I've tried with command ssdtPRGen.sh -w 3, but at reboot there's a kernel panic (see photo below)

When I create the ssdt.aml, ssdtPRGen.sh gave me this output:

I attach my new SSDT.aml.

Try with -xcpm (MacBookAir is picky about CPU, -xcpm avoids some issues with it).

Since you're not using Clover, you will need to patch the kernel.
 
With ssdtPRGen.sh -w 3 -x 0 still no success... :oops:

How about patching the kernel?
Or, at this point, could I replace Chimera with Clover?
