Modified BIOS to get all cores working, For ASUS/MSI (and some other) laptops.. Options

[ole2]

hello OriginalMACNUT

thank you very much for ASUS F5SL BIOS mod.

unfortunately it didn't resolved hanging (stucking) problem of my laptop.
I did managed to install iDeneb, but when it boots up till the desktop, it runs only for 5 minutes,
then system hangs (stuck) with no message, just frozen (even keyboard capslock didn't react).
no fan overrun or processor overheat is happening, no changes after applying patch for AppleUSB.
iDeneb installation kernel works OK by itself (i.e. - no stucking)

But Did it allow you to use both cores?
Sorry, I didn't notice the Post. I just donwloaded the bios.
I've been sick, and just doing this to past the time this week, Hence the reason in the drop of posting.
I'll check it out when I'm feeling better.

no worry, Omn, stay in bed, have a rest, you did a nice job anyway, thank you very much.
laptop seems to hanging due to graphic subsystem being unhandled (don't know yet by who it should)
or maybe due to network card SIS191 driver absence
and cores are not editable in this version of BIOS anyway, just declaration, they are present...
I'll keep you updated later

hello macnut -
could you work on this hp bios for nc6320 and like-series laptops? the nc/nx 6000-7000-8000 series are great devices, but the dual-core thing is a problem.
here's the link.

Hello all. I wrote a patch for Chameleon with which you can get the same result as patching the BIOS but except that you don't have to flash it and so avoid risk: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=132757

Can someone help me out with a bios mod to get myself all quad core-a-fied?
My System:

Acer Aspire AM5621
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 (2.5ghz)
8GB DDR2
2 x 640GB HD's

Motherboard is Acer G33T-AM Bios version R01-B1 (AMI), board was made by ECS, probably a variant of the G33T-M2.
I couldn't find a downloadable package for the bios so I dumped mine, file attached.

Anyone got any ideas on how to enable the disabled bios options, i.e change SATA out of RAID mode?
