Higher Temps after upgrade to 10.8.5

[rmmcwh]

So using the DSDT from 10.8.4, has issues being used in 10.8.5? That would cause the SMC errors I am getting and higher temps? I have tried settings in Chameleon Wizard and no go. Have not changed anything in my install at first, then updated IStat menus, FakeSMC kexts to troubleshoot.
Would redownloading the DSDT, latest BIOS fix this?

Thank you very much.

It is a change in the way IOkit matches PCI devices for drivers using IONameMatch.

The fix is to edit the DSDT as I described.

Thank you, those edits worked. Temps down to previous levels.

Any idea about SMC errors in the log, and SMC InitHelper...Fall back to oldsmc error. Can this be ignored?

Do not see if I boot into 10.8.4.

Thank you again!

You might verify that things are loading (AppleLPC) as you expect in IORegistryExplorer.

Not so sure about that, you might look in the ioreg for smc related drivers. It is almost as if the real AppleSMC.kext is loading?!

You could also try removing(rename) it from /S/L/E:
(because it shouldn't load on hacks)

sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMC.kext /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMC.kext.disable
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

Yeah can't remove or rename that kext, made my startup hang. Will re-clone my boot and then start the update testing again. Thank you!

Maybe I'm wrong and that kext does need to load?! I was thinking FakeSMC was its replacement...

 

[rmmcwh]

Maybe. Not sure about 10.8.5, I looked in my 10.8.4 and it is there. Must be some other kext/process that is trying to load. My next attempt/test will be to not update FakeSMC, use your info (thank you again!) and see what happens then.

I have redone the clone/install/Edit DSDT update again. Everything works. The SMC errors I am getting happen right after IStat Menus tries to load an extra:

a-McWhers-iMac-2.local SystemUIServer[332]: iStat Menus loading extra - sensors
Sep 19 09:02:51 Ra-McWhers-iMac-2 kernel[0]: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR TG1H kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8010221400

I have also read several other threads have stated IStat may be an issue with the new update. Now to find update IStat, see if it does it again, then try and find the extra in IStat that is throwing errors. I also see a RadeonMonitor.kext error later so that may be it.

Still get this error, not sure what it means:
Sep 19 09:02:20 localhost kernel[0]: SMC::smcInitHelper ERROR: MMIO regMap == NULL - fall back to old SMC mode

Will continue to test and see.

Thank you again for your help!

The more I read about these smcRead* errors, it might be a red herring. Some are reporting it happening on real Apple hardware.

Does the Intel DH67BL need DSDT modifications for 10.8.5?
I too have the console log full of SMC:: errors. Tried ACPI rollbacks, several FakeSMC - no success. Anything to worry about?
