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=78235Basically, 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..Hi Kabyl,
with SnowLeopard I have the CMOS-Reset Bug, so I would like to do a static biosmod.
Unfortunately I get errors in creating DSDT files, I can decompile, change values, but not recompile due to the errors. My mainboard is Abit IX38QuadGT:
http://file.abit.com.tw/pub/download/bios/...gt//m704d14.zipCPU=Core2Quad6600, 4x2GB DDR2 800MHz, nVidia 9800GTX+ 512MB DVI, HDMI, VGA
maybe you can help me :-)
kind regards
