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

[chmo]

Hi ,

cannot believe it (!) ... have been hacking my leo4allv2 install for a week now to see both core of my T7500 (was successfully installed right from the beginning) (no troubles with firewire ... just rebooting if no cpus=1 as kernel option EXACTLY after MAC Framework initialization)
... tonight I tried all 5 available bioses for my ASUS V1S-AJ033E ...
all have to be booted with cpus=1 (fxxxx)
Odd : system profiler identifies CPU Name and freq correctly ...
I even get ACPIids for both cores during bootup despite setting cpus=1

even with this last one :

PLEASE ...PLEASE ...
... myself and many others would be sooooo thankful !
Thx in advance !

Kabyl, mayby you can enable or add option enable/disable XD - eXecute Disable in Phoenix FirstBIOS (Compal FL90), this option is hidden or not exist in bios option for change. I think can't use vanilla kext ( shutdown/restart ) on may notebook :-( . Link to spec. http://www.compal.com/Product/Html/notebook/IFL90.htm and bios http://www.compal.com/asp/driver_dnd/index.htm http://www.compal.com/Download/NB/IFL90_91/BIOS/JFT02116.zip. Sorry I know it isn't Assus family but maybu you can try. Thank you in advance.

Will see what I can do..

so the problem in solving the dell issue is that we have no real way to edit the bios rom since its a custom dealt one? I found some instructions on how to at least extract the rom if that's an issue an yes its a phoenix based bios.

Otherwise I will be looking forward to this bios inject you are referring to!

No, it's not about editing the BIOS, the problem is we don't know what's the _problem_

Does anyone can help me with my lg e500, I do not edit bios. There is a modified bios for lg e500 but for vga nvidia, I have vga x3100. Thanks

Thanks Kabyl for the Asus G2S bios.I got it earlier,flashed and now I have Leo4All working with two cores.Great work !

No issues in windows for now,with this bios.

chmo,

GED,

of course I had problems with two cores : thats why I need the bios
But the probs where no "show stoppers" ...
with kernel option "cpus=1" I was able to startup Installer DVD and to install MBR Method on extarnal USB HD drive.
check http://osx86leo4all.wikidot.com/forum/t-49...d-boot-problems for the whole story.

@kabyl ... THX A LOT ... will flash and give feedback this evening (CEST) )

good luck !

How Can I Get Fixed Bios (For LG E500-L220k)..?
Plz....

[J.K.]

Sorry, Kaby, I don't understand, does it mean Asus Striker Extreme's bios can't be modifid to let leopard recognise 2 cores....

[Kabyl]

Sorry, Kaby, I don't understand, does it mean Asus Striker Extreme's bios can't be modifid to let leopard recognise 2 cores....

Your board is nforce (Intel edition) based, you just need to use a kernel patched for nforce.

And thanks for the feedback.

I have a macbook now and I like its power management features and now since I realize all that I am missing I would like to know if anyone on the Asus laptops were able to run the vanilla kernel with power management working fully after loading one of these BIOS? On my Asus G2S I am still running a hacked kernel. I had ran the vanilla kernel for a short while, but I do not remember my power management working.

Thanks

[J.K.]

Oh, I got it...Thanks Kably...But the kernel with nforce patch also causes the shutdown, restart and sleep problems, doesn't it... Anyway, Thank u very much

Waiting for feedback.. and good luck.

This Bios Mod works also with ASRock Motherboards.

Here the download Link of Asrock 4Core1333-eSATA2 modified bios:

You can flash the bios with the Afudos.exe from ASrock.



Thx Kabyl for this bios.

do you know if its possible to change speedstep p-states anywhere in dsdt?
my laptops stuck @ 2 x1ghz but capable of 2 x1,83ghz

speedstep in leo doesnt work because of the 1ghz limit of the cpu throttler kext,
so changing the lowest to 1,1 ghz would help i think

[favalos]

Is this Bios Mod will work with the ASROCK Wolfdale1333-D667 R2.0?

I installed the Leo4all distro and the only way to run it is with the cpus=1.

Greetings...

[jack-willi]

can anyone tell me how can i know, if all the cores are working or not.

[th3d00d]

can anyone tell me how can i know, if all the cores are working or not.

Hey, in finder browse to applications/Utilities
Theres a system performace icon in there that will tell you


Oooh, or you can just click on the apple logo, then about this mac, then more info...

either will do.

Yes, I believe so, but they are usually defined in the SSDTs (which are a continuation of the DSDT), the kext only replaces the DSDT for now, but it shouldn't be hard (well for the SSDTs it needs some work) to replace other ACPI Tables. A BIOS mod is also an option...
