This is very cool. One core has been bugging me for a while, but one core in OSX is better than two in Vista. I have a F8sv-b1 laptop...would you please mod my bios at the link below? Both links are the same..thanks so much!!

Hi Everybody!

I am new to OSX86, so be patient with me.

I have one Desktop with an ASROCK Conroe 1333 motherboard with BIOS version 1.30.
I installed Kalyway 10.5.2 and everything works great. The cpu now installed is a Core 2 Duo E4500 and works fine.
The problem is that I have another CPU, Core 2 Duo E8200, which also works but it's not correctly detected by the motherboard, unless I update the BIOS to version 1.80.
When I update the BIOS to 1.80, the CPU is correctly detected by the motherboard, but OSX hangs at the apple Logo.

Is there a way to fix this?

I read in a few forums that Kabyl is making a few miracles. Would he be capable of doing another one?

Thanks in advance for your help...

my motherboard version is MS-6577 ver 4.1

motherboard link -------> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...4182&dlc=en

bios link -------> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...182&lang=en

if it is impossible to overcome that please tell me, so i don't waste more time with this motherboard

thank you

The DSDT looks fine, maybe because it's an old board..

I think that one should work just fine, if not a description of the issue is needed.

This one works just fine, you should try first

P.S.:
For requests, I would like to see

• a direct link to the BIOS file
• your PC specs (CPU, Chipset and Graphics Card)
• and a description of the issues, sometimes it's not from the BIOS..

INCLUDED.

Don't PM me with requests, post them in this thread.

Hi

I would like to know if you could do the same for my bios, Acer Aspire 5520G: this is the link for the original bios : ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/asp.../Bios/v1.32.zip

For the full specs, i have a AMD Turion 64x2 TL-58 1,9Ghz, a nvidia 8600M GS 512VRAM.

For the issue, it blocks at the load of firsts HFS+ Files... with Leo4AllV2... so i think that it's a bios issue and hope you could do something for me

Thanks a lot

Dear Nuno,

I also have the same motherboard (Asrock Conroe 1333DVI/H R2.0) ,and I also have this issue. (In fact, 1.50 can work, but 1.60 ~ 2.10 can not boot).

Dear Kabyl,

Bios Link is inhttp://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Mode...33-DVI/H&s=
(All versions of BIOS)or
http://www.asrock.com/mb/from.asp?Model=CO...T=B&ID=1563
(Version 2.10, Using DOS to program)
http://www.asrock.com/mb/from.asp?Model=CO...T=B&ID=1564
(Version 2.10, Using Windows to Program)

By the way, I am not quite understand it. But, is it possible to patch it in EFI emulation? Otherwise there are so many BIOS versions with this issue. And patching them takes a lot of time. Just my suggestion.

Thanks you very much for your help.

No, it's not possible, because the DSDT is BIOS&board specific.

Dear Kabyl,

Can you make a modified BIOS for ASUS P5AD2 Deluxe?

Hi.
I installed the modified BIOS for my MSI P35 Neo in hope for quad core support, but my "Mac" still doesn't recognize it. =(

About my "Mac":
Processor: 2.4GHz Unknown
Processorspeed: 2.40 GHz
Number of Processors: 0
Number of Cores: 1

Any ideas to get all four cores working?

Hi, guys.
Who has flashed the modded bios on MSI P35 - Neo (MS-7360)? Pliz, share your experience.
I'm afraid to do that a little bit . I've just read it's not safely.
Whether I can flash my bios with Afud408 utility?

[yhs200]

Can you make a modified BIOS for msi ms-1221?

Anyone else using the modded BIOS for the MSI boards having problems overclocking? It's horsed my overclock so that I can only run 2.60GHz stable down from an easy 3GHz with an e4400 (stock speed 2GHz).

Anyone care to test this?

try a different kernel (respectively different kernel/ ACPI-kexts combination). Also sometimes simply a different version of AppleSMBIOS.kext will do the job ..

[AndrewMT]

Has anyone tried the modified bios with the MSI P35 Platinum motherboard? The latest bios is v18. http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=do...9&type=bios
