macmaniac Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ok, this isn't a perfect fix, as it won't necessarily fix the incorrectly reported processor speed or the incorrectly reported memory speed. This merely is a fix to prevent the "There was an error while gathering information." message when you click on about this mac/more info and the System Profiler is activated which tries in vain to profile your hardware. Once again, if you are seeking this fix, I bet you have a P-35 board. Ok, so you need: a XxX 10.4.10 install DVD. Pacifist Look for Contents of extrapatches -------------------->Contents of SystemProfilerPatch From the SystemProfilerPatch.pkg, you must extract SPPlatformReporter.spreporter and SPiPlatformReporter.spreporter Install these in /System/Library/SystemProfiler/ Repair permissions using chown and chmod Reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macmaniac Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 i got this problem and i deleted my extensions.mkext and it worked fine after words. Ok. I tried that (on a fresh install) and it didn't work. Thanks anyway. I'm suspecting that p-35 boards are a little out of the loop on EFI development, given some of the issues (internal drives reported as external, etc). FWIW, changing MAX CPUID in Bios to enabled made the profiler crash. So I switched that back. Maybe an edited SMBIOS or ACPI kext is still required.....

I used TOH and after install of 10.5.1 update I put in dsmos and the two kexts for sound and thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancelotu Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I don't know if it's still valid but I guess the fix to this is to use an older AppleSMBIOS.kext At least I fix my P35 chipset based Motherboard with 10.5.6 Vanilla install + chameleon by replacing /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext with the one I attached below . It's a netkas version . Install using KextHelper don't forget to delete Extensions.mkext and start with one time with -f option. AppleSMBIOS.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My system profiler now reporting the correct CPU speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
