hi guys, great web site.... been using it for few weeks now, i just got leopard installed on my Dell today thank to this site guide....

just one tiny little problem, when i try to use "About this Mac" finder crash's, and system profiler also broken, everything else is perfect

i know there probably a patch out there or i need to replace some kext... so if someone came across this problem before in 10.5, any help be fantastic

thx

System profiler stopped crashing when I turned off hyperthreading in the bios.

found via search: http://######.com/osx86search/resul...p;sa=Search#885

that is for 10.4 Tiger. I don't know if it will work in 10.5. Try searching some more if it doesnt work.

mine works fine, are you using the efi patch?

Having the same issue on Delll Dimension 2400.(p4 2.8 sse 3)Will turning off HT affect performance?
(i'm not using an efi patch)

Yep Im Running the EFI V5.1 Patch, Im just going to run through the tutorial that was suggested above. As it looks like it is one of the ones I may have missed.

sounds like you might be having a problem with the AppleSMBIOS.kext. You might want to try to reinstall it and check permissions

May I sugest buying a real mac.

Yeah sounds like it to me too - is this a generated ktext or is it standard accross systems? If its standard I may duplicate it from one of the macs from work hopefully this may sort it.


I aggree whole hartedly - and I will be purcahsing one after christmas (money permitting) at some point - but untill then I like to tinker

You cannot use a stock smbios kext from apple. It needs to be modded. If you are using the pc-wfi patch, that kext file should be included. Just install it, fix permissions, clear kext and reboot. If you cannot use the pc-efi patch, then look for the brazilmac patch as he also includes a patched smbios kext.

Im have the same problem here with "About this Mac", everytime I click into it I get a blue screen then back to the desktop. Ive updated 10.5 to 10.5.1 without using Efi by using the script that Kingroach had made in a seperate post. My specs are in my sig. Everything else works fine sound, networking, graphics without QE or CI at the moment but this seems to be a real pain at the moment. I tried searching everywhere without success. Any help you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hi.

i'm having the same problem, but i've got this when i installed the smbios.kext files that came with the torrent of CS3. I gets the blue screen like you and i have no ideia how to fix it. Can someone help me please? I bought some extra memory and i must see if they're working fine in "ABOUT THIS MAC".

Thanks in advance.
