Haswell early reboot, Mavericks, locked MSRs, and HP Envy 15-J063CL (i7-4700MQ)

i'll check the method to solve brightness issue later.

about PM, i use Clover to patch the Kernel(PatchPM), so that i think now XCPM is in charge.

The Clover option for XCPM mach_kernel patch is 'KernelPm'...

And yes, XCPM should be enabled if you're using a patched kernel (no matter how it gets patched). But you should verify that. Make sure AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement is NOT loaded:

# in Terminal, should output nothing
kextstat|grep appleintelcpu
kextstet|grep nullcpu

yeah KernelPM! i'm an idiot
yeah these both kexts are not loaded.

I was just checking... That's correct for your CPU. Assuming you have an SSDT with plugin-type=1, x86platformplugin should be working, xcpm activated, and power management is correct. You can verify in IORegistryExplorer.

i generated the SSDT by using PRGen. Just typed my CPU model i5 4200U...

But which item should I check in IORegistryExplorer?

Under the CPU area, you should see X86PlatformPlugIn loaded.

yeah was indeed loaded


so no any other solutions?

and what also strange is, is that in OS X Installer it's possible to shutdown correctly

Debug your DSDT? See: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Debug

Try different bootloader?

That is actually not uncommon.
