Hey, I just fixed all my compilation errors on the MSI Z77A-G43 (BIOS v2.4) and I thought I could share my edits here if anybody else runs into the same troubles. So this is a small guide on how to get your DSDT compiled without any errors or warnings and apply some additional patches to get a nice, clean and more «Apple like» DSDT to start with.
What I’m going to explain:
— Extract your DSDT
— Fix compilation errors
— Name your devices more «Apple like»
— Add DGTP method
What you need:
— A DSDT Editor (I recommend DSDT Editor)
Note that this whole procedure could also be done a little easier with DSDT auto patching for some fixes but doing it manually you learn a lot more and get used to patching DSDT by yourself.
So let’s get started:
1. Patch your BIOS to latest version (v2.4)
This is very important because in the worst case scenario you could damage your motherboard. This guide is for BIOS v2.4, so you have to get exactly that same version. It could probably work for earlier or later versions, but your are on your own doing this.
2. Extract your DSDT
This is simple: Open up DSDT editor and choose «File > Extract DSDT«.
3. Fix compilation errors
In DSDT Editor choose «IASL > Compile«, a window should pop up showing a bunch of errors and warnings:
You can see that it tells you we have errors, warnings and remarks. There should be only 1 error and we can fix it right away with DSDT Editor. Simply click on «Fix errors» and it now should say «0 Errors».
But we still have left a lot of warnings and remarks that have to be fixed, so let’s move on. We will go through this step by step. You have to double click on each error message and it takes you to the location where the error occured.
2226 Warning ResourceTag larger than Field (Tag: 64 bits, Field: 32 bits)
Replace
Code:
CreateDWordField (BUF0, _SB.PCI0._Y0F._LEN, MSLN)With
Code:
CreateQWordField (BUF0, _SB.PCI0._Y0F._LEN, MSLN)3318 Warning Result is not used, possible operator timeout will be missed
Replace
With
8787 Warning Not all control paths return a value (_DSM)
8787 Warning Reserved method must return a value (Integer/String/Buffer/Package/Reference required for _DSM)
Put
to the end of Method (_DSM, 4, Serialized), so that it looks like this:
Code:
Method (_DSM, 4, Serialized)
{
Name (DRET, Buffer (0x04)
{
0x00
})
If (LEqual (Arg0, Buffer (0x10)
{
/* 0000 */ 0xE1, 0x75, 0x39, 0x6F, 0x82, 0x7A, 0x67, 0x4F,
/* 0008 */ 0x8B, 0x97, 0x15, 0xBE, 0xE0, 0x60, 0xBE, 0xDF
}))
{
If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
{
CreateWordField (DRET, Zero, F0SS)
Store (0x02, F0SS)
Return (DRET)
}
If (LEqual (Arg2, One))
{
If (LEqual (^^PEG0.PEGP.LNKV, 0x03))
{
Return (Zero)
}
Return (One)
}
}
Return (Zero)
}10113 Warning Not all control paths return a value (_HID)
10113 Warning Reserved method must return a value (Integer/String required for _HID)
Replace
Code:
Method (_HID, 0, NotSerialized)
{
If (TCMF) {}
Else
{
Return (0x310CD041)
}
}With
Code:
Method (_HID, 0, NotSerialized)
{
If (TCMF)
{
Return (Zero)
}
Else
{
Return (0x310CD041)
}
}
Lastly we should have a lot of:
5626 Remark Use of compiler reserved name (_T_0)
10350 Remark Use of compiler reserved name (_T_1)
To fix this hit Command + F (to open up search and replace) and enter the following:
Then click on «Replace All» and close search window.
Now everything should be fixed. Click on «IASL > Compile» and it should compile without any errors, warnings or remarks.
4. Rename your devices
Next up is renaming some devices to get closer to Apple’s naming scheme. There might be some more you could rename, but those are the ones I know of and found inside the DSDT.
You need to open up search and replace (Command + F) again for each of this edits and be sure to always click on «Replace All«:
Find: GFX0 Replace: IGPU
Find: COPR Replace: MATH
5. Add DGTP method
Lastly we are going to prepare our DSDT for future patching by adding the DGTP method, which is needed if you want to patch HDEF or other things. Simply put this directly at the end of the file before the last «}» and after WAK method.
Code:
Method (DTGP, 5, NotSerialized)
{
If (LEqual (Arg0, Buffer (0x10)
{
/* 0000 */ 0xC6, 0xB7, 0xB5, 0xA0, 0x18, 0x13, 0x1C, 0x44,
/* 0008 */ 0xB0, 0xC9, 0xFE, 0x69, 0x5E, 0xAF, 0x94, 0x9B
}))
{
If (LEqual (Arg1, One))
{
If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
{
Store (Buffer (One)
{
0x03
}, Arg4)
Return (One)
}
If (LEqual (Arg2, One))
{
Return (One)
}
}
}
Store (Buffer (One)
{
0x00
}, Arg4)
Return (Zero)
}6. Compile and save DSDT.aml
Click on «IASL > Compile» again to compile your DSDT with latest changes and finally save by clicking on «IASL > Save AML as…«
I get my DSDT with the latest ACPI IASL tools from here and added DTGP method and some fixes needed but cannot compile it to aml file. My MB is GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP with the latest BIOS available. The errors and warnings shows below. Really need some help to get it done. Any useful help will be appreciated.

And I also want to know how to get the AR8186 ethernet built in to get TM to function. This is a small task though.

Kernel message: [ 0.208079] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
ADVICE: This is not exactly a failure mode but a warning from the kernel. The _OSI() method has
implemented a match to the 'Linux' query in the DSDT and this is redundant because the ACPI driver
matches onto the Windows _OSI strings by default.

advice for this particular problem.

Test 1 of 1: Check firmware settings MaxReadReq for PCI Express devices.
MaxReadReq for pci://00:00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio

MaxReadReq for pci://00:02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh]
Network Connection is low (128) [Network controller].
FAILED [LOW] LowMaxReadReq: Test 1, 2 devices have low MaxReadReq settings. Firmware may have
configured these too low.
ADVICE: The MaxReadRequest size is set too low and will affect performance. It will provide
excellent bus sharing at the cost of bus data transfer rates. Although not a critical issue, it may
be worth considering setting the MaxReadRequest size to 256 or 512 to increase throughput on the PCI
Express bus. Some drivers (for example the Brocade Fibre Channel driver) allow one to override the
firmware settings. Where possible, this BIOS configuration setting is worth increasing it a little
more for better performance at a small reduction of bus sharing.

be intentional because hardware vendors identified some capability bugs between the motherboard and
the add-on cards.

FIRMWARE_CONTROL is non-zero then X_FIRMWARE_CONTROL must be set to zero.
ADVICE: The FADT FIRMWARE_CTRL is a 32 bit pointer that points to the physical memory address of the
Firmware ACPI Control Structure (FACS). There is also an extended 64 bit version of this, the
X_FIRMWARE_CTRL pointer that also can point to the FACS. Section 5.2.9 of the ACPI specification
states that if the X_FIRMWARE_CTRL field contains a non zero value then the FIRMWARE_CTRL field
*must* be zero. This error is also detected by the Linux kernel. If FIRMWARE_CTRL and
X_FIRMWARE_CTRL are defined, then the kernel just uses the 64 bit version of the pointer.

====================================================================================================
ADVICE: (for warning level 0 #1128): The operation can possibly timeout, and hence the return value
indicates an timeout error. However, because the return value is not checked this very probably
indicates that the code is buggy. A possible scenario is that a mutex times out and the code
attempts to access data in a critical region when it should not. This will lead to undefined
behaviour. This should be fixed.
