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

[Proud Bajan]

kabyl, last night i updated my hp530 bios with f.07, the great thing is that there was no kernel panic with both cores, but the problem is that the wheel under the apple just keeps spinning without booting into leopard, is this a sign of possibility for both cores?

the bios can be found here

Kabyl,

Could you please provide me with a modified BIOS for my Acer Aspire 5570 (Intel Core Duo T2450, Intel 945GM, Intel GMA950)? I get the exact problems as found in the link in your first post. The link to the BIOS is at ftp://anonymous@ftp.work.acer-euro.com:21...0/bios/3508.zip

Thanks so much!

[fyl]

Hi could you provide me with bios for asus f3sv?

[AstrAir]

@ chroyan & fyl
Post you CPU, Chipset, Videocard and a download-link to the BIOS, as requested by Kabyl.

That's the least you can do, in return for his effort in modifying the BIOS.

Can you do this BIOS for me (newer version)

Hey Kabyl,

Do you think you could make a modified BIOS for ECS 915G-A/915P-A. You can download the BIOS from here: http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Downloads...d=2&LanID=9

Thank you very much!

Kabyl,
I see you have modified a few of the MSI P35 BIOSes to get them working, however the version that you modified is slightly different from the one that I need. I have a P35 Platinum, the driver for which can be found at:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=do...9&type=bios

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciate -- its a shame to only be able to run OSX with a single core on a 4 core system --

Thanks
Nick

NOTE: About Dell laptops, I'm still trying to find the cause of the issues, so if anyone has any suggestions, you're welcome

Both-cores are working with news Dell Laptops, but not with older models.
You can try to compare bioses to find what are issues. Some people think issues are related with HPET timer support, witch supported but not activated (same thing with AHCI support.)

Old bios without dual-Core support on OSX(Inspiron 9400/E1705): http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/MP061A09.EXE
New bios with dual-core support on OSX (Inspiron 1720...): http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/1720_A07.EXE

Hope it help.

I modified most of the BIOSes posted in the last 3 pages, and found that I've already did some of them (lazy people are wasting my time), so I decided to make things more organized by keeping the files in one place.. I will post a link once it's done.

Kabyl,

Can you give us an update on how much more time it will take to organize these files ?

From Netkas Forum, Thread:Thoery: Dell HPET error and possible dual-core solution

Just to update my progress/research notes here...

I've determined that devices are declared in the ACPI Namespace via compiled ASL that is usually stored in the DSDT table or in a SSDT table. The DSDT is where the root namespace is initialized while the SSDT is where additional devices and ALM code can be added. My best bet at this point is to compile some ASL logic for describing the HPET device and add that compile ALM code into and SSDT table entry and append it to the RSDT table declared by the BIOS (hopefully there is an empty entry or free memory at the end).

Hi Kabyl,
can you check this bios? ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38501-39000/sp38809.exe
It's an auto extracting zip file, it contains rom.cab that contains rom.bin, I think it's this the relvant part;
it belongs to an hp nx9420 (laptop);
it does boot with two cores, sometimes, not always, with tiger and with leo, EFI v8 working and various kernels tested ok but after 1-2 minutes it hangs (freezes);
sometimes hangs with "could not start cpu01" at boot and subsequently reboots;
with one core works ok;
gfx chipset ATI x1600, works with ATIinject , usb, firewire;
Thank you, for taking care of a problem so spread!!!
