ASUS P8P67-M PRO DSDT from database: Waiting for root device

[Redgum]

i dont think the DSDt on the forum are edited ,so most probably why they dont work ,you need to patch them .

Hi,
my chameleon.boot.plist is a little different than yours and i'm using a own autopatched DSDT but with the downloaded version system doesn't boot.

You can try the DSDT and SSDT-1.aml I attached with my post, with a generic i7 2600K SSDT.

As long as you have used SpeedStepper or a patched BIOS, my DSDT and SSDT-1 should work, it is generic for the P8P67-M PRO. I did not customize it.

Thank you for your offer but with your SSDT I get a KP at Apple login.
So the best is for me i'm using still my own DSDT and System runs fine with my Turbosettings and patched BIOS.

Hi guys,

Following the mass release of ASUS 1155 DSDTs on the DSDT database, I just had to give my motherboard’s released DSDT a shot (with a generic i5 2500K DSDT).

Unfortunately, it gets stuck at "Still waiting for root device". No boot options specified other than darkwake=0.

Have tried tweaking the following boot args:
- npci (0x2000 and 0x3000 cause boot to get stuck at a PCI error)
- cpus=1 (no change observed)
- DropSSDT=No GeneratePStates=Yes (no change observed, but just wary of 10.7.4)

Same result for me on a P8P67 Pro, tried the same boot args as you did...

Fingers crossed, will give it a shot. Windows for BIOS flashing, Mac OS X for everything else!

Thanks for your help, if I don’t report back, I’m fighting Chameleon!

samisnake,

Your DSDT works great. Replaced the DSDT, double-flashed the patched 3K bios, and it boots great.

My overclocked turbo-states (PStatesReached: 16 34 38 40) are working with my edited SSDT, will try out the generic 10.7.4 Sandy Bridge SSDTs in a minute.

One last question: Do I still need the USB sleep fix SSDT?

 

[ndoo]

Alright, I think you guys have hit the jackpot.

Using samisnake’s soon-to-be stock DSDT + MultiBeasts’s stock i5/i7 overclocked SSDT, SpeedStep, turbo-states and sleep work.

PStatesReached: 16 17 18 19 20 34 38 40 42

Very good. Perfect MultiBeast UserDSDT install. Thank you guys for the hard work, I can’t thank you enough.

Here is the boot.plist I am using with Chameleon:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs$

Very minimal, very clean, very happy user
