Adventuro-3 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Here is a solution that worked for me with a different branch of Chameleon, with a slightly different, but related memory reporting issue. You could try it and see if it works for you. All you need to do is edit the plist, it should be the same with another branch of Chameleon: This fix worked for me! If I knew it was this easy, I would have done it much sooner. Except, contrary to the provided information, it fixed everything. Previously, I got 0MHz RAM and NO vendor info. With the fix, I now get both displayed correctly. For any newbies reading this, here are the detailed specifics. Note that this is for the Chameleon boot loader installed with the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method. I imagine the process would be similar for other Chameleon based boot loaders.1. Choose "Computer" from the "Go" menu in the Finder of Mac OS X.2. Open your startup drive and then open the "Extra" folder.3. In the folder, double click on "org.chameleon.Boot.plist"4. This will open the plist in Textedit (or in your plist editor if you are more advanced), to enable you to change it.5. Add these two lines to the bottom of the list of similar looking items <key>UseMemDetect</key><string>No</string> Make sure that you added the lines before the two lines:</dict></plist>6. Save the plist, and quit Textedit.7. Restart your computer to activate the change.Need even more detailed detail? Here was what my final plist looks like after the change:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict> <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key><string>Yes</string><key>Kernel Flags</key><string>kext-dev-mode=1</string><key>Legacy Logo</key><string>Yes</string><key>Timeout</key><string>2</string><key>HDEFLayoutID</key><string>01000000</string><key>GenerateCStates</key><string>Yes</string><key>GeneratePStates</key><string>Yes</string><key>UseKernelCache</key><string>Yes</string><key>HDAEnabler</key><string>Yes</string><key>UseMemDetect</key><string>No</string> </dict></plist> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mela quadrata Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 @Anachronaut: Thank but It didn't help me... With Enoch rev.2773, I tried with UseMemDetect=NO and also with Yes but the issue persists... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabber92 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 this is actualy very simple open smbios with chameleon wizard and from there you can edit your ram speed for each module then you will see it correctly in about this mac , this is mine i have 4 gb x 8 =32 gb ddr4 2133mhz this what it look like in smbios <key>SMmemmanufacturer_1</key> <string>Crucial</string> <key>SMmemmanufacturer_2</key> <string>Crucial</string> <key>SMmemmanufacturer_3</key> <string>Crucial</string> <key>SMmemmanufacturer_4</key> <string>Crucial</string> <key>SMmemmanufacturer_5</key> <string>Crucial</string> <key>SMmemmanufacturer_6</key> <string>Crucial</string> <key>SMmemmanufacturer_7</key> <string>Crucial</string> <key>SMmemspeed</key> <string>2133</string> <key>SMmemtype</key> <string>DDR4</string> in yosemite detection work fine without that fix. Pls give screenshot from El Capitan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mela quadrata Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 this is actualy very simple open smbios with chameleon wizard and from there you can edit your ram speed for each module then you will see it correctly in about this mac , this is mine i have 4 gb x 8 =32 gb ddr4 2133mhz It's not a problem of smbios.plist... my smbios.plist is edited correctly... It's a problem that happens with latest version of enoch with El Capitan... (I don't know if also with chameleon) This is the response of ermac on Italian section: Ho una vaga idea su quale sia il problema estetico del quantitativo di RAM mostrato, dove il valore andrebbe arrotondato dell'eccesso... (la lettura del quantitativo da Hardware nelle tabelle DMI)... anche qui ci vuole tempo che al momento non dispongo... Posso assicurare che é ESTETICO e non funzionale... ErmaC English: I have a vague idea of what the aesthetic problem of the amount of RAM shown, where the value should be rounded excess ... (reading the amount of hardware in the tables DMI) ... here it takes time which currently I don't dispose ... I can assure you that It's not functional issue but only aesthetic.
