Any version > 1.9 is crashing my MBP
Closed this issue · 14 comments
Hello,
I'm another MBP user with a broken battery. I'm trying to use my old MBP 13" late 2013 without any battery.
@christophe-duc I'm following your suggestion and I'm trying disabling EnableProcHot by setting it to "true". Still no luck.
This is the last message I get before it dies.
Loading version 1.9 works but I cannot get my CPU up to speed. It's extremely slow so I believe it's clock is to 800MHz or similar.
Of course, I remove the IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext before testing
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext
and even csrutil disable + csrutil enable --without kext afterwards.
Any clue?
Ok, interesting. so for you 1.9 load, but no real gains. What CPU do you have in that MBP?
I think we may need the AppleIntelInfo kext ( AppleIntelInfo) to verify in what state you are in 1.9, and I need to double check what others modifications where introduced after.
I think we may need a way for us to speak real time on this project so we can figure things out. Do you have any preference in between discord or slack? I have time later this week to do a debug session.
@Mrc527 does version earlier than 1.9.0 can be booted without any problem?
I did not try, I just load them once the machine is booted because it's too much time consuming rebooting in safe mode and removing the kext, without the battery.

I've found this, hope it is of any help.

As for the debug session, maybe Slack is easier but actually Discord is also fine. Just send me a link, I'm sure we can find a good moment.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks @Mrc527 , I'm trying to narrow down the issue. Could you please give this two kext a try and see if the issue resolve?
CPUTune1.8.5.zip
CPUTune1.9.0.zip
Thanks in advance!

CPUTune1.9.0.zipThanks in advance!
1.9.0 is working for sure, that's what I've loaded now. but I get no CPU speed increase, I've the slowest macbook on the planet I think :)
Shall I also try 1.8.5?
@Mrc527 the reason is because when ProcHot is enabled, turbo boost will disable. And there's a restriction in the code logic that only ProcHot or TurboBoost can be enabled at the same time. And the model you have is Broadwell also does not support the HWP such that the frequency of your laptop is stuck.
Let's try a new version and see if this work.
Even the CPUTune2.1.4.zip you proposed hanged the machine, exactly the same way the other kexts did.
Any other attempt I should do?
@christophe-duc are you still interested in a chat to fix this?
Hi, sorry got busy, I created a slack channel here:
https://join.slack.com/t/cputune/shared_invite/zt-f48vlclf-0JSwNRYMUNKwQnJtUSu7Jg
I just fixed a kernel panic on platform that does not support HWP/SpeedShift. The CPUTune (v1.9.9+) reads MSR_IA32_HWP_REQUEST on no HWP CPUs, which cause the issue. Feel free to give CPUTune.kext.zip a try and let me know if it works. Thanks!
Hello @syscl, your kext seems to work!

I see it loaded and the system is still running!
But I've the feeling the CPU is still capped at 1GHz, how could I check?
With AppleIntelInfo I see the following:
