mickeyd453 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hi My Lion hack reports itself as an iMac from 2001 but i note that there is not a SMBios.plist present. If i place one there to be based on a MacPro3,1 then the machine panics on boot. I thought this file was for nothing more than asthetics and could not stop a machine booting. Does anyone know how i can modify this file so that the machine reports something more representative than it is while not panicing? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHack Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 That's strange. And have you tried MacPro 4,1? If you can upload your smbios that'd be great so we can see if maybe there is something obvious wrong that was accidentally deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noam AA Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Set SMBIOS by your hardware, if it's a PC from 3-4 years ago then use Macpro3,1 and don't chase after "Recent MP" but to the APPROPRIATE macpro you need to use, if you have KP with Macpro4,1-5,1 then you might need to remove AppleTyMCEDriver.kext from S/L/E to boot, but still, please choose one that match your hardware as close as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd453 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 well its a 2.5 GHz Quad Core Xeon so i dont think i am chasing anything really - I'll have a play around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noam AA Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 not saying you are, but as for my understanding mp3,1 are Quad Core. 4,1 and 5,1 are more to i series (i3,5,7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
