Any luck with the HP NX7400 yet?

great machine, would love to see it running both cores. thanx


I'd love to see it running on both cores too..
Tried DSDT Patcher, Chameleon with DSDT override, iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5, vanilla/voodoo_beta2c kernels, some new kexts, but haven't made it stable yet.

This is the latest bios.

hello people,
could someone help me out with my laptop
i have Toshiba R25 (tablet) with 945GM chipset
i have the 10.5.4 on my pc,
The thing is, the computer is pretty stable as long as i work with single core,
as soon as i activate the second core from bios, i get kernel panics!!
and by kernel panics i mean if i a reboot several times i might also succeed in booting leopard with both of my cores activated!
is there any solution to this double core KP problem???

the above-mentioned bios does not have the wifi card whitelist hack. it would be most helpful if the dsdt hack could be imposed on top of the whitelist hack.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ATI x1950Pro 256mb (Gigabyte custom version with Zalman cooler) I will be upgrading this to a PowerColor Radeon HD 4870 "PCS" 1GB, GDDR5 on monday however smile.gif

The issue is that I can not boot without CPUS=1, if I do the kernel dies when loading KEXT's rebooting immediately. This means I only have one core enabled on the c2d chip I have.

Am very greateful if you can fix a bios for me.

Hi , Im having an acer 4520 AMD Turion 64x2 TL60 processor with Geforce 7000M integrated graphic chipset. I've been trying hard to get the graphic card to work with QE/cI support but to no avail. I know this thread was suppose for mod BIOS so that the cores can be recognised. But wondering if you have any idea as to whether the BIOS play a role for OS X to recognise my graphic card as to then allocate the appropriate system memory to it. As you see Geforce 7000M has no dedicated video memory. So BIOS allocation of the system memory may play a role here. I have tried using the latest 10.5.5 geforce kext drivers from the macbook pro update but still end up having freeze screen during boot up.
Hope you can help.

I was wondering if you'd be able to help me. i have a laptop which isn't booting on battery due to what i've heard is an ACPI issue. Given your experience with bios modding do you think it would be possible to mod the bios in a way that would allow it to boot without being plugged in? If so what steps would i need to take and how?

Thanks,

Hello,
Just wondering if I could get a modified bios for my mobo. The Model is GA-EP35-DS3L and it has the Intel P35 + ICH9 Chipset. It seems to hang at boot for the iDeneb 10.5.5 install. I also have the Ati HD 3870 video card. i believe their are kexts for the video card and the sound which is ALC888 and i will probably also have to install the ICH9 kext which im not quite sure what the name of the kext is but if you could modify the bios for my motherboard it would be greatly appreciated. I’m also wondering if you’ve been able to get your sata drives working. That was also a issue for me that I had to install to an old IDE drive because of boot issues and have heard sata drives won’t work for the most part. Is this still true? Thanks alot for your time and help.

the link to the bios is http://europe.giga-byte.com/FileList/BIOS/...p35-ds3l_f5.exe
