if you need any help I would be more than ableged. plus I have a dell to test it on and even if i have a bad flash I can fix it.

folks, remember he said "still trying". Dells are different. I am positive that he will be out with the news that he mastered the Dell bios as soon as he gets it. just need to be patient and do not put your hopes up too high. crossing fingers myself.

sorry i knowed that.. jej, but i asked only.

i try to find something on dell bios A09, with Cygnus Hexeditor. DSDT or like that.

Is there any way to enable dual core in HP laptops?

Here is the link to the BIOS file for HP nx7400:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp36501-37000/sp36750.exe

Chipset: Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset with 667-MHz front side bus
Graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950

I've installed Kalyway 10.5.2 with dual core disabled, and it is very stable. Enabling dual core couses kernel panic.

Kabyl,

It's a long shot but is there any way you could edit the BIOS for the Asus P5KPL-VM board. I keep getting :

"Waiting for boot volume UUID" and never get to the GUI part.

I know others on this forum claim to have the board installing ok, I have pm'd them and posted in there threads but they are reluctant to help me out.

Thanks if you could help

Andy.

Could I get a modded bios for my Asus A7T-X1? Managed to get Zephyroth 10.5.2 rev1 installed, but it seems a little sluggish and was very sluggish throughout the install.

I got an Asus F3JC and installed succesfully kalyway 10.5.1 
I think Leopard recognizes that I got core 2 duo 2x1,66Ghz. How can I be sure about that?

If leopard recognize my core 2 duo, do I really need the modified bios?
Will the modified bios affect to my windows xp or Ubuntu?

Thanks people and keep up that good work!

hey Kabyl

What do you need in order to help you with Dell bios? why is it so hard to make? just wondering, like what's so different about it. or dell blocked it in order not to copy/reproduce their bios?

XPS M1210 A08 System BIOS <- that's the bios that my laptop uses...

Here is the link

Thanks for you help

With the other boards/laptops we know the _cause_ of the issue, this is not the case with Dell laptops.

For people who posted their requests: I will try to mod the BIOSes asap

Hi!

i want to get a fixed bios. i have a Asus F3Sv notebook and the bios version is 206

a direct link to the BIOS file: http://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/F3Sv/f3svas206.zip
My PC specs (CPU: Intel C2D T7300 2.0 Ghz
Chipset: Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Chipset + ICH8M
Graphics Card: NVidia Geforce 8600m GS 256 mb),

i want to install the kalyway version of 10.5.1

[branded_boyz]

Hi Kabyl,

My system is:

C2D E8400 3.0Ghz
MSI P35 Neo 3 with Bios v1.1
2GB DDR2
8800GTS 512mb Overclocked
HDD 250GB SATA2
DVD/RW IDE Sony

Problem:
I am not even able to start the installation. My screen stays at the grey screen with a small circle with no activity in hdd or dvd, for several hours. In verbose mode it stops at ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start(AppleACPICPU) <1> while using iAtkos and at AppleACPICPU::start(p004) <1> with BrazilMac for Intel only.

I have tried every possible method mentioned earlier but had no succes.

Maybe you can help me and many other MSI users.

The link to the bios files (Please notice that I have Bios v1.1):

Thanks in advance man.

Hi,

this is my first post insanelymac, i think.

I use MSI's value notebook, and I have tried several install dvds, but all failed.

So by last chance I decide to modify BIOS.

Could you patch this bios?

http://downloadx.msi.com.tw/files/download...xe/1422_008.zip

Tho model name of this notebook VR420X, which uses intel gl960 chipsets and intel pentium conroe.

Most of dvds complaind about ACPI related problem.

I believe and hope bios modification will work.

Thank you so much.

So if you want to get a fixed BIOS, you can PM me post your request here, included with:

• a direct link to the BIOS file,
• your PC specs (CPU, Chipset and Graphics Card),
• and a description of the issues.

Don't PM me with requests, post them in this thread.
I will try to make a repository if I get more fixed BIOSes, so that other people will benefit from it.

Hi kabyl,
