Greetings,

What application gets you to this point in order to edit the information? I am planning on buying a Sager NP2096 and I want to be sure I can allow it to boot properly. That's really my only concern, because I have cross referenced most of the components, and it all looks good. The only problem with most PM45 chipsets is the inability to boot both cores. I know that with this mod, it will be possible to even get a boot132 retail install in the laptop I am interested in. I have been to OMN's site, but the DMICFG doesn't work with my current VAIO laptop. Also, I am not sure core fixing is possible with that utility.

Any information on which program or utility to use for DSDT and core fixing, would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Those who have Acer Aspire 5580 series laptop, they can use my method of getting both core enabled. Instead of bios flashing, I used PC EFI V9 to override the DSDT of bios.

I have Z1_3508 bios installed. Using DSDT patcher tool, i dowloaded the DSDT.dat file from ioreg. Then decompiled using iasl and got the DSDT.dsl file. I modified few thing and the final DSDT.dsl and DSDT.aml looks as attched.

You may directly put this dsdt.aml file in your leopard root folder and use pcefi v9 to boot your mac. You should be able to make both core working without any kernel flags here after.

I think MSI PR600 is also a good choice for Hacintosh too.
Up to now the only imperfection is unable to activate duo cores which is due to interference by special Natit.kext for its X3100 Graphics.

hey, what distro are you using? and how did u get it to install?
i have the same pr600 as you and so far out of luck - even with kabyl's modified BIOS.

Hi Kabyl.

Thanks for your great works (i have solved a problem of CPU compatibility between Asrock conroe 1333-d667 and e5200: with your 1.80 modified bios all works fine).

If you can help me with Asrock G31M-GS to work with Leopard: with any version the installation stops without error in verbose mode:

Click to view attachment

I Have triede iDeneb 1.3 1.4, XxX 10.5.6, leo4all V2 e V3, IPC osx86 Final, the problem is always the same; I tried with cpus=1, with -legacy.

I tried with 1.30 modified bios by original_macnute, but the result is the same.

My hardware: CPU Q6600, Video card Nvidia 8400GS, Hard Disk Sata 500MB, DVD EIDE and SATA.

News: I can install only with: USB enabled, usb legacy enabled and USB 2.0 disabled

Well, I guess the title says it all, after spending a lot of time reading Documentations, Specifications, Forums.. and hunting for testers

, I finally got tehmachacker (thank you) to test a modified BIOS, and as expected, it worked.

This is the issue that intends this mod to fix:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78235

Basically, what I'm doing is modifying and fixing errors in the DSDT; removing aliases for the "processor" devices, because the ACPIPlatform kext doesn't like them and treat them as other CPUs.. (it's written for Macs, and Apple doesn't use that in their Firmware's ACPI Tables, actually I don't see why we need them, well..)
I for example change this:

CODE

    Scope (_PR)
                {
                    Processor (P001, 0x01, 0x00000810, 0x06) {}
                    Alias (P001, CPU1)
                }

into:

CODE

    Scope (_PR)
                {
                    Processor (P001, 0x01, 0x00000810, 0x06) {}
                }

Sometimes I have to fix more stuff.. you should know that when you try to compile your DSDT.

So if you want to get a fixed BIOS, you can ~~PM me~~ post your request here, included with:

a direct link to the BIOS file,
your PC specs (CPU, Chipset and Graphics Card),
and a description of the issues.

Don't PM me with requests, post them in this thread.

You will find some of the modified BIOSes here.

Keep in mind that I take no responsibility for a bad flash or if anything goes wrong..

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

Hello, can you modify the bios of the asus f8sp laptop. I know someone else also posted it, but I did not see a link. Thank you

Also, This is a bit much, but I was wondering if there was a hidden bios menu for memoy timing, But thats all.

Well, Im not sure, but how do you modify your BIOS for this, I downloaded the file from the site, but have no idea how to run it. The mobo is a ASrock 4core1333 esata2.

Thanks,
Josh

I would like to get a modified Bios version for the Asrock G43 Twins-FullHD .
Chipset: Intel G43, Intel ICH10, Audio: ALC888, LAN: Realtek RTL8111B/RTL8111C

I am using it with Intel Core2 duo E8400 CPU. OSX installs fine but it works only with one core.

The link to the last bios is:

I thought I should post my specs and up the bios. its an AMIBIOS modded from R01-A4 bios. beware you must have this bios. and set everything to default setting before flashing. for me that was pressing f9 to reset to defaults.

Model Identifier: Aspire M5630
Processor Name: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Graphics Card: 860GTt Overlocked 512MB
RAM: 4GB of patriot viper 800mhz
P.S. sleep works too. Is there anything thats not working?

Hi,

I have an Acer M5700
Processor Name: Intel Core™2 Quad CPU Q8200
Graphics Card: Intel x4500
Northbridge: Intel P45 rev A3
Southbridge: Intel ICH10R rev 00

I have been trying to install Mac OS X on this system. I have tried both iDeneb nd iAtkos 5i distributions. Both will fully install the software but when the system reboots, they hang at the grey apple screen.

Starting in verbose mode -v shows that they are freezing after the statements:
MAC Framework sucessfully initialized
using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers

Since you have a similar system, can you tell me what distribution you are running and what options you chose on installation to get your system to boot Mac OS X?

Thanks in Advance
James

Yes I have seen this site but you only have a "N80Vb as207" which is similar but not the same BIOS as the one required for my laptop which requires the "N80Vc" BIOS as linked. i.e the internal hardware is slightly different.
