Ok, so I tried 4423 and 4444 and both didn't get CPU PM...
Currently loaded via 4423 (see attachment)
What else can I do to get it to work?
I changed SMbios to 14.3 though.
Clover is getting confused when trying to find Processor declarations in your DSDT.
The ACPI patcher in Clover does not have a true AML parser, but instead relies on binary patterns.
It looks for pattern '5b 83' which is used by ProcessorOPs encoded in ACPI.
from FixBiosDsdt.c (findCPU function):
Code:
for (i = 0; i < length - 20; i++) {
if (dsdt[i] == 0x5B && dsdt[i + 1] == 0x83) { // ProcessorOP
But since your Processor declarations are near the end of DSDT, it finds other code first, which happens to match 5b 83.
The 5b 83 pattern comes from the WQDD definition.
Looking at a mixed listing of DSDT.aml:
Code:
Name (WQDD,
...
/* 10F8 */ 0x20, 0x47, 0x5B, 0x83, 0x80, 0x1C, 0x14, 0x44,
...
1374A: 47 5B 83 80 1C 14 44 40 8E FE 42 13 90 85 3C 0C // G[[email protected]...<.
Which results in Clover looking at the wrong bits when trying to determine the path of the Processor objects.
It is trying to find this:
Code:
Scope (_PR)
{
15095: 10 4E 06 5F 50 52 5F // .N._PR_
Processor (CPU0, 0x01, 0x00001810, 0x06) {}
1509C: 5B 83 0B 43 50 55 30 01 10 18 00 00 06 // [..CPU0......
You can use SSDT-XCPM.aml instead of ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType=true.
