My XPS is recognized as "Mac" on Model Name and "XPS M1330" on Model Identifier not as "Mac" and "macpro3,1" like others.

I don't know where the name is set, I am using vanilla AppleACPIPlatform.kext also

All work fine, thanx for our work.

Same here!!!

[ontoid]

Not sure but ...
I think that in your case Machine model Data entries are from DMI Bios records
and have priority before Model Identifier stored in AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext.

In my case i did edition of those records and wrote there
model: iMac7,1 witch gave me iMac7,1 not MacPro3,1
Same Story is serial number

To edit DMI DATA i used small app called DMICFG

Recently figured tiny issue:
(Sometimes) After restart system does not loading monitor calibration profile
and keyboard layout (modifier keys) are reverted to default state.

MacPro3,1 are stored in the kernel, and not in the SMBIOS.

If you are using vanilla kernel, then that's why you see your model identifier as Dell and not Mac Pro.

So, what is the best way to change the Model Name, ID and serial Number?
And how to do it?

[Cillit Bang]

I wanna know that, too! Nun-Chan why don't you answer anymore?

If you are running with the ToH kernel, just modify the AppleSMBIOSEFI.cpp

[verleihnix]

Hi,
I am using the vanilla and ToH on two different riggs.
Do I have to compile AppleSMBIOSEFI.cpp?

[macgirl]

If you modified something yes, but open the Project on Xcode and hit the Build button, it will compile the whole thing and create the new kext.

My CPU is shown as 2 GHz Unknown (I have Celeron 440), is there a way to fix it via AppleSMBIOSEFI when using vanilla kernel?

[pion]

everything works but apart from shut down. when i use mac nub's AppleSMBIOS-iMac, shut down work prefect.

look in build/developement install kext with kexthelper
Thanks Chun-Nan !

I have opened the 10.5.3 combo update with pacifist 2.5.2 and cannot find a directory called build? I tried to extract the whole update and it gives an error.

nah man, those directions are for finding the built AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext amongst all the other source stuff in this threads download zip. the vanilla AppleSMBIOS.kext you're looking for is inside the 10.5.3 combo update, in the same directory it is on your hard disk, system/library/extentions

My system informations shows "System Serial Number", how do I enter a real serial number?

[macgirl]

Chun-Nan I wan to report that I am having problems with the Sharing Pane on System Preferences, I cant set off the File Sharing option, and all the Sharing Pane is very slow, I reverted to patched AppleSMBIOS and without AppleSMBIOSEFI the pane beahaivor is normal again.

Comes up instantly here so there may be something local to your machine involved in the problem.

works great for my AW9D MAX board! Many many thanks

[mitch_de]

Hi, working but a new app (Squeeze 5) crashes.

It wants to read an serial (HW) .

I found out that systemprofiler didnt show serial in last line of HW Info.

How can i add an serial in EFI strings or have i do some more (network kexts?!)

Thanks

Screenshoot working below (No serial number shown)

which part of the cpp file do you edit to change model and serial so it shows up like a macbook
