Thank you very much!!!!!

PS Sorry for my language, i from Russia )))

thanks originalmacnut! i download and i install these bios and kalyway work ?

Glad it worked



Downloading it now

AmiSFI gives "Bootblock checksum is bad" when i try flash it, not shure should i flash this bios in msdos, flashing in dos would work for shure but still worrying about that bootblock checksum is bad error.

Mobo : MSI P35 Neo-F and bios i try flash is (MS)-7360v19 *P35 Neo-F from osxcores site.

EDIT : well it gives it with original bios too so i guess there is no much to worry about, just going to flash in dos mode

Just noticed this, but I've already have done this bios. It's located on my website. In the Desktop downloads



You should be fine, let me know if you have any errors.

Nope not working.. cannot anymore save CMOS settings with this bios "CMOS Checksum Error" and it does not matter even if i reset CMOS via jumper or battery and still cannot run iDeneb 10.5.4 with all cores.

I hope you find something to fix this bios.

Atm im in Vista SAFE Mode, too crashy in normal mode, untill you can work out the bios better ill flash back to original v1.9 bios.

EDIT : I'll try that OpenDSDT.kext after next try on modified bios

Okay, I'll take another look at it. should been fine, but I could have missed something simple. sorry about that.


Fixing it now, check your PM in about 2-3 minutes

rintamarotta Check PM


Well, I tested all day the OpenDSDT, it's a dead end for the most part, unless somebody is good at writing a .kext for it. The only thing I was able to get it to do is crash after hours of testing different strings and such

Ill test it (bios).

I had ALOT of PFN_LIST_CORRUPT erros in Vista with other bios, ill test now this new one, if im not back in lets say... 20mins you can asume mobo is fubar XD

hey now, this one should work, hehe
I think it was due to AMIBCP that I've only used a few time, have read it corrupts the bios, so this could have been the problem. I've stopped using it since.

*EDIT*
I've uploaded the new bios to the Server, however use the new bios I sent you in PM, Just want to make sure you use the right one.

Yep this one works better, no more PFN_LIST_CORRUPT errors or CMOS Corrupt errors .

Still too bad, cannot boot to iDaneb 10.5.4 without -cpus=1 or cpus=1 flag , not shure what went wrong since 1month ago it worked fine with v1.7 bios but its also not anymore working... wierd thing exactly same way installed every single time :/

Maybe need just continue trying to reinstall iDeneb, with different driver combinations and {censored}

Make sure you enable execute bit ( XD ) And HPET . I bet that could be the problem there.

Hmm, HPET disabled and execute Bit disabled atm, so that could be the deal.. brb testing it

Yeah, Those have to be enable

PUFF... Now its working everyting is working now, thanks from the tip

Now need just work around this IDE controller problem

What problems you having?

Just that it does not seem to reconize IDE at all, sometimes in past it have worked once in this same iDeneb 10.5.4 but now last 3 installations it havent worked at all.

In past before i bought SATA drive i had "waiting for root device" problems, got it once working and seem to cannot get it anymore working.

Not shure how i should select the drivers in installation, its basicly Jimcron cabable chip but some reason that driver does not work anymore

One thing im shure, its all about BIOS, how MSI made it since same kind of Gigabyte P35 motherboards work without problem with same IDE controller.

Anyway im off to sleep

I'll look into the IDE setting with in the bios when I get more time.

Can anyone confirm that the A7356IMS 240.ROM works? I have a MSI P35
Diamond (7356) with the standard cpus=1 problem.

Can it be flashed with the regular amiflash (afuwin) utility? MSI use some
kind of live update...

A quick technical question to you MacNut:

I have a Asrock Conroe 1333 d667 r1. I saw that you have modded the Bios for R2.
My questions are:
Can I use it on a R1?
The files on your website are ROM file, do I have to use a floppy disk or is there a way to make it work on windows?

Thanks alot for your help.
Windows version of the 1.80 bios:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Mode...T=B&ID=1461
DOS version:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Mode...T=B&ID=1460

Let me do your bios, In most case you can use a r2 bios on an r1, but you can't use the r1 bios on the r2, If you can make since of that.
I know MSI is that way for sure, as you could use the new bio on R1, R2 R3, boards, but with a R3, you can only use a R3 bios or newer

Anyways, let me boot into vista and I'll get you token care of


*EDIT1*
In vista now, give me like 5 to get it done then check your PM

*EDIT2*
I'm going to say yes, when I go to the download link it reads

Home » Product » ConRoe1333-D667 R1.0 » Download
Filename: ConRoe1333-D667(R2.0)(1.80)Win.zip


as for Floppy, I don't even own one. I turn off the Floopy in the bios on my ASRock and boot off a CD with opendos, the I run AFUDOS and what ever rom I want to flash with off a usb pen drive.

OriginalMACNUT. Can you help me with
bios?
Board MSI 7392 Neo2
On your site only MSI Neo v1 bios'es

Thank you so much OriginamlMACNUT, you're the man. It took me a little while to understand, but I got it eventually. I don't have a floppy drive either, and I didn't know about opendos.

Thanks again, I think I'm gonna put a E8400 on that cheap motherboard

No problem sorry if that was a little unclear, bad about wording things



I've Added it to the website now Almost to the bottom of the page

thanks.
only firmwere your BIOS, but nothing has changed ((((
What has been the change?
them on the monitor can be seen (for example word.version)?
I tried to run the original software distribution, but failed.

I'm sorry, but I don't really understand the question, my apologies.
Make sure you enable Execute Bit And HPET
-omn

HPET - there is not this options (((

what are you change in BIOS?
were i can see change?
i use youre BIOS, but i can not installing original distributive MAC OS 10.5.4 - failed (((

It does not change anything else exept some DSDT in one of bioses modules.

how i can install original Mac?
in our forum, user write:

For those interested i have successfully modded the bios for the MSI P965 Neo V2. see attachment




MSI P965 Neo V2 (Bios V3.8)
E7200 2.53Ghz (1066)
4GB 667Mhz
Leadtek Nvidia 7600 GT 256MB
Installed with JaS 10.5.4

you have a link to the forum so I can see what you are referring to?
Also, this bios mod does not let you run the original apple disc.
-omn

Hello, seems this works great.

So i would be very glad if you could try to fix my Bios too.

- http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket...%20SLI/1503.zip (for Vista 32Bit)
- Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66 running at 2.8 GHz), ASUS P5N32-E SLI (nforce 680i Chipset), GeForce 8800GT
- If i run my System with both Cores, it freezes after some time (from 2 minutes to 30 minutes) but systemclock do not stop workin :-S,
everything works great with cpus=1...

thank you in advanced

Page not found

*EDIT*
Never of less, I can't do it, I found the bios off of ASUS website, it's a bin file.
Sorry,
-omn

Hmm, it works when i try it. I'll put it in the attachment.

Have you tried the Newest version ( the one you posted ), The log shows that it's suppose to fix CPU lock-ups.
Just thought I'd ask,
-omn

Of course I tried it :-D, and I already thought I managed it, but 20 minutes later I know it better :-)

And I dont think that the cpu freezes, because i use menumeters and the activity works on as normal (2 -4 %) like the systemclock, very strange

Sounds like the second core is going to sleep, You might try changing the setting to never sleep, just a thought though,
or you might try disabling speed step if you have it as an option. or Like I do when running OSX, I only enable Execute Bit and HPET.
Hope that works, if you've not tried that yet,
-omn

Sleep ist off, and I disabled speed step since i have the new bios (the option is new in my bios)

and unfortunaly i dont know what "execute bit" or "HPET" mean , but i never seen that in my bios

For me, Execute Bit is located in my CPU setting, and HPET is located in my APCI settings in the Bios.
Might look around inside to see if you can find it, I would think it has those settings.
-omn

okay i will look it up



Okay, I got these options but both were enabled so i disabled them :-), now i'm running both core, so i have to wait some minutes...

Wow, I'm surprised it boot with execute bit disabled

It works already 15 minutes... crossing fingers :-)

But do you have any ideas if it doesnt work propely..

Just one,
Can you use AFUDOS to back up the rom to .rom file and not .bin file? I've never tried, if this works, then we might have a solution for the .bin rom users.

of course i can :-). just have to start vista, think ill be back in 15 min

So that didn't solve the problem?

link - http://www.applelife.ru/Asus28/P5Q_PRO/9948.html (IN RUUSIAN!!!!!)


which allows the BIOS to run the original package?





HPET!!!!!!
Settings in the BIOS, I did not find these options.
may need to press a combination of keys to this?
I have to m / b gigabyte P965S3 a secret combination of CTRL + F1
but on this m/b Asus I do not know (((


PS question on a different subject - that quickly
1 * 500 HDD SATA II cahe 16Mb NSQ
or
RAID 0 on 2 * 160 HDD SATA cahe 16Mb without NSQ

That's okay. I'm translating it now

Any chance you could download the file READ_ME_FOR_NOOB.doc ? as this is not in Russian.
Thanks,
-omn

No new freezes until now :-), maybe it was hpet or the "bit-thing" xD

So i say thanks, very carefully (knocking on wood)...

I hope i done it right with the rom...

I wish you a good evening, have to go to bed now, get up early

bye for today

so here is the rom

in this file - step 6



thank you very much!!! i donate to you now, but i don't have less many, i student ((((

na, only if you can, donations aren't a must, but is greatly appreciated.

No, I was wondering if you would download that file for me, and PM me with a rapidshare address, the translation is blocking me for getting past the user agreement forum.
As I was hoping there is something in the file that would be some use to me.
thanks,
-omn

Never mind, I finally got registered and downloaded it, nothing special.

Got any "solutions" for that Bioses IDE problem yet?

That DOC file is just instructions how to flash bios in Asus motherboards
