Patching your DSDT ProBook 4x30s using MaciASL

[Don_Grappler]

Good catch -- Didn't notice that. But yeah, it is clear -- needs proper SSDT...

Hehe... EBKAC error -- tricked myself. Folding@home was running in the background. I had believed it would only kick in with a screensaver, and not in every idle moment. The SSDT was from PBI6.1b4 and not altered.
Now idle temp is 51-52 °C and I'm once more full of admiration for the guys that make hackintoshing possible.

Thanks for responding!

First time through, check preferences, iASL tab: Compiler options setr to ACPI 5.0

Is it worth using ACPI 5.0? I tried the latest version "iasl 20130328-64" with RAW DSDT and all I get:

/*

I'm getting only one error when decompiling the RAW DSDT with ACPI 4.0




I think I have two choices: ACPI 4 or an older ACPI 5 (i.e. 20130117-64) and wait for HP to fix their ACPI table (I doubt that will happen anytime soon).

At the time I wrote that, the ACPI4 compiler included didn't work with our patches, but since final release it has been updated. The patches now work with both compilers, so it doesn't really matter now.

And I'm not sure what you mean by "... all I get". I see those warnings too from the latest iasl decompiler (built against current sources), but it still works just like it did before (produces a DSL file with a few extra comments).
