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

[montserrat]

Hello, Kabyl.
I've got Asus Z7S WS board with i5400 chipset (Seaburg), one X5472 Xeon CPU and ATI X1950 Pro graphics card. The problem is that I'm unable to boot with ACPI APIC option enabled in bios (constant reboot with Jaguar's appleapic.kext/appleacpiplatform.kext or stuck at the "MAC Frame work successfully initialized" with newer kexts) and without that option I've got 0 processors and 1 core ((. Attached is the original BIOS. Thanks very much.

He Kabyl, i hope you have some time to take a look at my bios.

Im using a BTO (build to order) notebook

My cpu = core2 duo 8300 2.4 Ghz
Graphics card = nvidia 8600 gt 512 mb
it's a intel santa rosa platform

the link of the bios
ftp://ftp.n4all.nl/Drivers/15V125+%20HDMI...%20BIOS%200.29/

problem im having is when im using vanilla kernel, it can only use 1 core or it keeps rebooting at startup. No problem wit the kabyl kernel.
Hope i can use vanilla kernel, because apple uses santa rosa for some of there macbooks.

ps.. i dont know if the notebook uses a bios or efi, this because the bios says "ares efi version 0.29", but on top it says bios.

Both cores working on ACER Aspire5672 with modded bios.

Why you EVER posted this, if I never saw the link or something ?

Btw, anyone got Aspire 5672 modded BIOS? I want to put a T7400 or T7600 CPU on it, but I need to know if it works or not.

I'm using Phoenix BIOS Editor Pro 2.2.0.1 (the last I could find), when I open ZB1_3239.wph (the last BIOS for 5672) I get:

An unsupported module class "K" was found at offset E547F
An unsupported module class "*" was found at offset E542A
An unsupported module class "Q" was found at offset C4A93
An unsupported module class "H" was found at offset C06F3

And when I look into ACPI Editor, I just get empty content on all: ACPI0.AWL, ACPI1.BIN, ACPI2.ROM, ACPI3.ROM and ACPI4.ROM files.

Edit: ok, managed to get ACPI content, here is:

CODE

  Scope(\_PR) {
    Processor(CPU0,0x00,0x00001010,0x06){}
    Processor(CPU1,0x01,0x00001010,0x06){}
  }

There's NO alias at all. Any idea?
