Hello, I have an ex700 (ms-1719), which I believe is the same or very similar to the gx700. Does anyone know if those modified BIOS work?

Cheers,
curbman

EDIT: That BIOS fix from osxcores worked on my ex700.

I am trying to DSDT patch my P5Q-EM 2203 BIOS ROM.

I download the new ASL Complier found here:
http://www.acpica.org/downloads/binary_tools.php

It looks like it is going to compile fine but I keep getting this error:

I didn't know if anyone knows what I should do or how to get around it. I was trying to follow the directions on page 25. I have attached my extracted/modified files, along with the original BIOS if anyone could either tell me how to proceed or if anyone is kind enough to get the file to compile for me.


Thanks,

After extracting, I find that there is only one instance of "DSDT" and no instance of "WAKh" !

Any experts out there who can lead me from here?

Intel chipset discovery routine identifies the chipset as:Intel G31/G33

Winfast 8600 GT extreme 256 Mb (same as Nvidia 8600GT) or ASUS EN 7600 GS 256Mb (same as nvidia 7600GS)


Issues: Only runs on 1 core and sse2, and no AHCI mode , although the chipset should support it, can only switch SATA IDE on/off.
Maybe more problems, but i cannot even install OSX with only 1 core running, panic attack when halfway through the install.
This might be related to the inability to switch to AHCI mode

Issues:
I can run with both cores, but only with DSDT patch applied to my bios. But the computer apparently still doesn't like it because many things will cause kernel panics on my system. In addition to that, running two cores causes an overheating problem. I think I needed my bios modded for this.

are you using a sata hard drive if so check yr drive settings in bios make sure its set to sata mode if a sata drive first thing i would try is to reset the bios or if its a ide drive make sure set to ide i had this problem windows insatalls ok then after restart wont boot
glitchbit
For any G2S out there that want sleep mode working here is a link to my thread which I have attached my DSDT patch which you can drag into the root of your drive if you are using the chameleon bootloader.. cannot confirm if it works with chameleon v2 or not.

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=194528

I collaborated with nawcom and wrote part of it, along with referencing material from The King, csharpmac and 67GTA.

I imagine you can probably flash it to your BIOS if you compile the dsdt.aml into it but I cannot say how it will effect a dual boot environment..

and a description of the issues:
all distribution : ideneb, iatkos,jas, and all versions in boot installation and in installed from other osx are make : MAC Framework.....and Halt!

i have no idea how can i install osx to this laptop, can someone help me? or maybe a modified bios can help?

i think the problem is on APIC , ACPI side, but cant solve it, yet.
thx
kdragon75
First I just Want to say thanks for all the work you have done for every body! Second (the reason im posting) I have an Asus U81a and I can install iDeneb 100% fine but on reboot I get:

"MAC Framework successfully initialized
using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers"

After doing some reading it seems that this has to do with ACPI. As you mods are tinkering with edit parts of this i thought your mod might help.

Laptop info:
-CPU Core2Duo T6500 @2.10Ghz
-Intel GM45 Chipset (Centrino)
-4GB DDR2 RAM
-Intel GM4500 MHD Graphics Chip w/32MB RAM
