| Source at commit 342 created 13 years 9 months ago. By azimutz, As you can see, there is a catch... a good one, i think! I did tried to keep /Extra path, though my real intention was to remove it, in favor of loading files only from booter volume and OS specific folders, providing we could keep the same functionality. That turned out to be true and as /Extra path kept giving me troubles, i removed it. Pros: simpler code that can be easily added any were needed (as mentioned on search_and_get_acpi_fd). Cons: none that i couldn't solve so far :) Just a note on ramdisks: when a rd is aliased as bt(0,0), all paths started by bt(0,0) (booter volume) will point to the rd and not to the volume were the booter is installed; meaning that, with this algo that only uses bt(0,0) paths, when using a rd aliased as bt, the rd will be the only volume searched!! This makes rd's aliased as bt, ideal to load full sets of files, like when using pre-boot discs, were the files need to be all loaded from the ramdisk into memory. | |
|---|---|
| 1 | - Fixed lapic_init patch. Fixed _cpuid_set_info patch to work on the 10.6.0 / 10.6.1 kernel (patches cpumodel)␊ |
| 2 | - Added USB Legacy Off patch. Modified to run immediately *before* the kernel is executed, that␊ |
| 3 | way no files need to be loaded after the usb device is reset.␊ |
| 4 | - Backup original dsdt to /dsdt/originaldsdt in the IORegistery␊ |
| 5 | - Added kernel patcher, removes the CPUID check panic in the kernel. Forces _cpuid_set_info to␊ |
| 6 | return Penryn / cpuid model 23␊ |
| 7 | ␊ |
| 8 | - Implemented SPD memory automatic detection and injection,seems to work really great ...␊ |
| 9 | - Factorized code to prepare a dynamic memory detection algorithm ...␊ |
| 10 | - Optimized smbios table address search␊ |
| 11 | - Optimized cursor spinout in textmode if no verbose mode is set␊ |
| 12 | - Added ram table structures definitions␊ |
| 13 | - Added getSmbios() a param permitting to select between orig and new smbios entries␊ |
| 14 | - Changed "Default Partition" behaviour to accept only native system volumes or foreign partitions.␊ |
| 15 | - Added NVIDIA new NVCAP customization support and support for ION gfx cards from aserebln␊ |
| 16 | - Added ATI new framebuffers support and new cards from PCEFI10.6␊ |
| 17 | - improved ACPI file search algo by implementing a cache.␊ |
| 18 | - Nvidia injection fix␊ |
| 19 | - pciroot would not always return correct uuid in autodection mode␊ |
| 20 | - Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c␊ |
| 21 | - Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,␊ |
| 22 | now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.␊ |
| 23 | for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)␊ |
| 24 | - Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all ␊ |
| 25 | conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.␊ |
| 26 | ␊ |
| 27 | - Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed␊ |
| 28 | only if ovveriden␊ |
| 29 | - Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id ␊ |
| 30 | For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig aer now DEPRECATED.␊ |
| 31 | ␊ |
| 32 | - Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disapeared in his patch, should be more discussed for RC6)␊ |
| 33 | - Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards␊ |
| 34 | - Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias ␊ |
| 35 | to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ prerocessor definitions␊ |
| 36 | - Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition ␊ |
| 37 | like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name␊ |
| 38 | - Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.␊ |
| 39 | - Added the PciRoot autodetection feature imported from pcefi10.5␊ |
| 40 | - Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible ␊ |
| 41 | with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist␊ |
| 42 | - Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility ␊ |
| 43 | with the new system-type option in bootConfig␊ |
| 44 | - Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist␊ |
| 45 | - Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new ␊ |
| 46 | stringForKey() API, also changed the DT__XXXX() set of functions ␊ |
| 47 | to handle const char * values instead of char*.␊ |
