Looking for a BIOS for MSI P6N SLI-FI (different than the Platinum). It is version 7350v26 (the other is v16, and is not compatible w/ the SLI-FI). The Processor is an E6230 64-bit 1.83Ghz Core 2 Duo. The link to the BIOS can be found at http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=do...7&type=bios

would been eternally grateful if someone could help me out with a bios mod for my asrock p45r2000:

Can easily swith OS hard drive to a 300gb SATA one if it will be easier, also currently using an IDE DVD drive too, the install worked fine, just the first boot where it hangs, for it so does this mean i won't need to get an SATA dvd drive?

It won't allow me to use USB. I have to disable it, and that's a complete problem when I need to use the USB ports.

I'm pretty sure it's a VIA chipset. I really don't know.

Why don't you try PCEfiv9 / Chamaleon DSDT and DSDT patcher?

It's a lot safer, and you can do the the work by yourself.

Just boot with cpu=1 install either of them and use DSDT patcher to get your DSDT table fixed.

Never heard about patcher can you provide a link? And my installation do not want to boot at all, it halts anyway in the beginning without any error That is why i think patched bios can help...

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=133683

Of course be sure to use a vanilla installation (best with cdboot-132) and not one of those ultrahacked MacOS X distros (which may be the reason you are not getting too far in the booting process)

I looked into the DSDT patcher, but it looks like a Mac OS file. Do you patch the installation CD or use it post-installation? I installed Kalyway using cpus=1, but i can't boot into it at all. I tried MBR and GUID, and i select the boot device in BIOS. It reboots after a few seconds of bootup. When i use the install cd to get back in, I look at Startup Disks and my disk doesn't show up...

Of course be sure to use a vanilla installation (best with cdboot-132) and not one of those ultrahacked MacOS X distros (which may be the reason you are not getting too far in the booting process)

Hi, I´ve read through hundred of posts on the forums trying to find an answer to my problem but sometimes you just have to play stupid and post your self

I tried two different modified bios version on my MSI P35 Platinum but no luck.
One every attempt the system either reboots within a second after booting the setup or halts on "Still waiting for root device" depending on bios settings and boot command.

I´m using iATKOS v5 DVD disk which worked perfectly with CPUS=1 command on another PC I have (HP dc7600)

Mainboard: MSI P35 Platinum
CPU: Intel Q6600
RAM: 6GB
HDD´s: 2 x 74GB Raptor / 2 x 500GB SATA / 2 x 320GB SATA / 250GB IDE
DVD: DVDRW SATA
VGA: ATI HD4870 1GB DDR5

Can you try make a modified bios using the latest update from MSI maybe?

ftp://duser:duser@66.232.110.239/MB%20BIO...v1x/7345v1A.rar (this is MSI´s FTP server)

Please if I have been too insomniac after hours and hours of trying different bios settings and command to not having done something dead simple to fix this...please let me know

Kabyl,

Here is the information on my system and the link to the bios file.

Motherboard= MSI P35D3 Platnuim
CPU= Core 2 Quad Q6600
Chipset= P35 Express
Graphics card= Nvidia 8800 GTS 640

Bios link= http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=do...mp;prod_no=1230

I am using the latest one which is 1.6.

The problem that I am having is that I have to use the workaround and I can only get one core to work. From what I have read it is a problem with the bios.

Shane.

Kabyl,

I need to get all procs working on my workstation board.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Tried that too, following the instructions on the Retail Installation guide:

"6. On the boot prompt, press Enter. This time, enter the two-digit hexadecimal of the drive where you installed OS X. Enter 80; if it doesn’t show the startup volume of your OS X, hit Esc. Try 81, and so on until you see your OS X volume. Select it and hit Enter."

When i hit 81, i boot to the OSx86 hard drive, and it gives me boot options (like when i boot from the HD directly). After a few seconds of loading, it rebots. I tried "-v -x cpus=1 vanilla" and it gets further, but still reboots after saying "Starting Darwin server...". Any ideas?

Issues:

I installed iDeneb perfectly in different variations.

After reboot, the system hangs at: MAC Framework succesfully initialized

ACPI Fix is not working.

It would be great if you could make modded Bios for all the people who have the same Laptop.

Thank you very much for you help

hey, can you tell us how do you modify the bios so that i can do it on my own?

Could i get a modifiet bios for my Asrock 4Core1333-FullHD motherboard please?

Link to bios flash file:
Global - http://download.asrock.com/bios/775/4Core1...ullHD(1.70).zip
Europe - ftp://europe.asrock.com/bios/775/4Core1333-FullHD(1.70).zip

hi everyone,

been following david tsu's method for bios modding my asrock p45r2000 (link: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Mode...2000&s=775)

it has Intel P45 + ICH10R Chipsets. Installs kalyway 10.5.2 no problem but first boot after that hangs at the "using... buffer... 4096" stage so trying to mod the revision 1.80 of the bios. I've got as far as these steps:




I have extracted the single link arch bios (module 1b) and searched in winhex for dsdt but it only finds one instance (line 49616) and no cases of WAKh (or even WAK) in this module. It is 397 thousand lines long.

I have also extracted the ACPI aml (module 10) and searched that which starts immediately with "DSDT" (line 0) and ends with two cases of "WAKh" on lines 22896 and 22912. Could not find any cases of "WAKh." though. The module is 22912 lines long.


Really not sure where to go next (obviously want to get this right first time!)

If anyone can help me out with this one that would be awesome.

Here are the links for my Single Link Arch BIOS module (sarch1b) and ACPI AML module (acpi10) respectively:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1sb2jtwcitz - Single Arch

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bnjzzcu1kp9 - ACPI

Extracted using MMTools 3.19.

my setup: Asrock P45R2000, Intel E1200 dual, 2gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3 one stick, XFX 7900gt, 300gb Maxtor SATA, Kalyway 10.5.2, IDE LG Dvd Drive


P.S. On a side note would changing my DVD drive to an SATA one be a necessary for Kalyway?

Cheers!

I need a bios mod of ASUS P5Q-VN

KAbyl !!

you KICK ASS !!!!



you saved me hours struggling whith my asus A7SN whith that modded A7 bios.

now i'm into leopard 1.5.5

GREAT JOB and THX SO MUCH !!!!

Kabyl,
I know you've already modified a older BIOS for the P5Q Deluxe motherboard but can you modify this latest version?

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket...DELUXE-1406.zip

Thanks a million

Where did you find these instructions? I was able to find everything in the instructions, and clicked Begin Block and End Block. Not sure what to do after this.

@ acidd23 The instructions are from david tsu's, on page 25 of this thread, post number 487.

were you following the instructions through on the modules i uploaded?

i have a feeling my bios has the dsdt table in the acpi module rather than the single arch as with david tsu's walkthrough

I too would also like the abit ab9 if possible >_>

Kabyl, mayby you can enable or add option enable/disable XD - eXecute Disable in Phoenix FirstBIOS (Compal IFL90), this option is hidden or not exist in bios option for change. I can't use vanilla kernel on notebook :-( . Link to spec. http://www.compal.com/Product/Html/notebook/IFL90.htm and bios http://www.compal.com/asp/driver_dnd/index.htm http://www.compal.com/Download/NB/IFL90_91/BIOS/JFL92118.zip.

I understand. I need to change the following settings in the BIOS:
Execute Disable Function - ENABLE
ACPI 2 Support - Yes
and Speed step - Disable

Help me. Pleeeeeease!!!

thanks. i got through the instructions and everything worked according to the instructions... except i couldn't boot... i killed my bios... i'm trying to recover now....

Hi Kabyl!
Could i get a modifiet bios for my ASUS P5Q-VM motherboard please?

Link BIOS file (2008/12/10 update )

Thank you so much!
======================
Motherboard Name Asus P5Q-VM
Chip Intel E8500
VGA and Sound onboard
HDD and DVD-RW (SATA)

just tried my own mod following david tsu's walkthrough and flashed and it seems to be working well, booted straight into osx by accident afterwards because i had installed it previously (when it would previously hang at the 4096..buffers.. point) but forgot that the flash cleared bios settings so usb legacy was disabled, sitting there smashing the keyboard to no avail. was quite suprised to see it boot straight in though. going to reinstall anyway just to be sure.

i think one of the main issues with doing your own mod is ensuring the modified module is exactly the same length as the original, i found it easier to compare the original and modified side by side in decimal rather than hex, changed by clicking on the address line column in Winhex. my original module length was 22924 and following the walkthrough precisely gave me a modified module which was 22923, one short. Easy to correct but if un-noticed i imagine would have caused a fair nuisance.

also the location of the dsdt table varies between motherboards, the walkthrough says search the Single Link Arch bios module but mine was in the ACPI AML module, which began with DSDT (only 1 occurrence) and i used the very last character of the last line as the end point (happened to be ....WhPHPWh) although there were 2 cases of WAKh in the last few lines.

if anyone needs a modded bios for an ASRock P45R2000 feel free to PM me. dual gigabit worked OOTB with iAtkos 10.5.5 but sound will need a little more persuasion.

immense thanks goes to everyone in the community, this forum contains a colossal amount of information and although it's not exactly a thrilling read, it's most definitely worth it

Hi Kabyl,

could you please modify the following BIOS:

http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket...DELUXE-1406.zip

My specs:

Motherboard: P5q Deluxe
Chip: Intel Core 2 Duo 8500
Grafic Card: NVidia 8600 GTS
4 GIG Ram (DDR 2 800)

My problem:

MAC OS X (IDeneb 1.3) stops after some seconds while booting after message that xy buffers are used.

Thanks in advance
Marcus4Aspern

I followed the instructions, and everything went as he described. He said the compiled code would be smaller, and to zero out the block before pasting it. The length of my block was nearly what his was, and i didn't expect it to be exactly the same, but along the same lines... The SingleLink module added back into the bios w/o problem (not sure if it is checked) and the DTST code started in the same place. The BIOS was the same size when flashed.

I think i may just get a MB that is compatible

Original BIOS: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/M50V/M50V209AS.zip

I roughly followed modding instructions provided by david tsu in this forum, with some exceptions noted below.
Make sure you get the latest version of iasl compiler from here: http://www.acpica.org/downloads/binary_tools.php

1. mydsdt.aml block ends with an ASCII string "ATKDGENWh", not "WAKh". If iasl chokes on the error that looks like "TableHeader length [0xDEAD] greater than the input file size [0xBEEF], use the first value (in my case 0xBE46) as the offset to mark the end of the block.

2. Once Alias lines have been commented out, all instances of CPU0, CPU1 ... need to be replaced with P001, P002 ... as specified in the Alias lines.

3. If you use the 2005 version of iasl (from the link in david tsu's guide) all instances of _T_0 need to be replaced with T_0.

laaaarge up Kabyl,

(many) thanks to your modded A7Sv302AS bios, i could finally manage to test a really good dual boot (asus A7SN).
this works great whith ideneb v1.3.

unfortunatly, everytime i boot back on the windows system, xp try to re-install the 2 IDE standard drivers as the controllers are not recognized anymore !

i can see a yellow “!” on each IDE canal in the hardware manager (not sure this is the term in english, in french it’s called “gestionnaire de peripheriques”).

anytime windows boot, it tries to re-install those 2 items but fails whith a message error saying that :
“Une erreur s’est produite lors de l’installation de ce peripherique” and “Le pilote n’est pas conçu pour cette plate-forme”

which i try to translate as : “an error occurs while installing, the driver was not made for this OS/system”.

any solution would be greatly appreciated here’s the link to the origial bios, hopping this could save time :
http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/A7S/A7Sv302AS.zip

thanks in advance for your help

DuBmastah



YEEEEEE-HA !

found the solution by myself :

1) just enter the modded bios
2) switch the IDE settings back to "enhanced"
3) no more error under win xp
4) osx86 still working (so far) !!!

thanks kabyl, u're GREAT !
