Hey Kabyl, I'm also using an MSI P35NEO, I was on the brink of replacing it even though it's pretty much new. But i'm holding it off now thanks to your work. I've done so many rebuilds now it's silly, trying alsorts of permutations, i'd be more than happy to suffer a few more rebuilds for the sake of testing some of your magical kext's to help us msi users.

Keep up the awesome work man

Do you think there's a problem with my bios?
'Coz i've installed leopard (leo4all 10.5.2) over and over again. It's installing properly, but after restarting, this is what appears:

Using 9175 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers


My laptop is on my signature. and this is the link to its bios. thanks! :-)

Kabyl,

Thanks for the prompt reply! :-)

After updating my BIOS I was able to use both CPUs however when I use both CPUs the system is slow and laggy. If I run with cpus=1 no lag, but obviously I want to use both my cores.

I have a ASUS G1S can anyone point me in the right direction on getting this fixed?

Can someone post the modified bios for Asus G2S,please !
I searched the whole thread but I couldn't find it.

Hello, Kabyl, My bios is Asus Striker Extreme for desktop, is it possible for u to modify it to fix that cpu=1 issue??? Thank u very much for help...

here is the address....http://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket...reme/SE1503.zip

Kabyl, mayby you can enable or add option enable/disable XD - eXecute Disable in Phoenix FirstBIOS (Compal FL90), this option is hidden or not exist in bios option for change. I think can't use vanilla kext ( shutdown/restart ) on may notebook :-( . Link to spec. http://www.compal.com/Product/Html/notebook/IFL90.htm and bios http://www.compal.com/asp/driver_dnd/index.htm http://www.compal.com/Download/NB/IFL90_91/BIOS/JFT02116.zip. Sorry I know it isn't Assus family but maybu you can try. Thank you in advance.

so the problem in solving the dell issue is that we have no real way to edit the bios rom since its a custom dealt one? I found some instructions on how to at least extract the rom if that's an issue an yes its a phoenix based bios.

Otherwise I will be looking forward to this bios inject you are referring to!

THANK U VERY MUCH FOR HELP

Hi ,

cannot believe it (!) ... have been hacking my leo4allv2 install for a week now to see both core of my T7500 (was successfully installed right from the beginning) (no troubles with firewire ... just rebooting if no cpus=1 as kernel option EXACTLY after MAC Framework initialization)
... tonight I tried all 5 available bioses for my ASUS V1S-AJ033E ...
all have to be booted with cpus=1 (fxxxx)
Odd : system profiler identifies CPU Name and freq correctly ...
I even get ACPIids for both cores during bootup despite setting cpus=1

even with this last one :
http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/V1S/V1Sn301AS.zip

PLEASE ...PLEASE ...
... myself and many others would be sooooo thankful !
Thx in advance !

chmo,

I do not understand, with the installation of leo4allv2 no problem with the two core?

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=87901


Will see what I can do..


No, it's not about editing the BIOS, the problem is we don't know what's the _problem_


Post a link to the BIOS file.


Same here, a link to the BIOS file.

Feedback would be nice..

Thanks Kabyl for the Asus G2S bios.I got it earlier,flashed and now I have Leo4All working with two cores.Great work !

No issues in windows for now,with this bios.

GED,

of course I had problems with two cores : thats why I need the bios
But the probs where no "show stoppers" ...
with kernel option "cpus=1" I was able to startup Installer DVD and to install MBR Method on extarnal USB HD drive.
check http://osx86leo4all.wikidot.com/forum/t-49...d-boot-problems for the whole story.

@kabyl ... THX A LOT ... will flash and give feedback this evening (CEST) )

good luck !

How Can I Get Fixed Bios (For LG E500-L220k)..?
Plz....

Sorry, Kaby, I don't understand, does it mean Asus Striker Extreme's bios can't be modifid to let leopard recognise 2 cores....

Your board is nforce (Intel edition) based, you just need to use a kernel patched for nforce.

OK ... here is the Feedback ... flash ... reboot ... cpus=2 ... 28 sec. later : 2 cores in system profiler visible ... xbench (w/o disk) 165,79 ...YOU ARE MY HERO !
for full story of my leo4allv2 expriments check : http://osx86leo4all.wikidot.com/forum/t-49...d-boot-problems
leo4allv2 rocksssss .

You don't need to use cpus=n
And thanks for the feedback.

I leave my bios here if someone wants to see or modify

I have a macbook now and I like its power management features and now since I realize all that I am missing I would like to know if anyone on the Asus laptops were able to run the vanilla kernel with power management working fully after loading one of these BIOS? On my Asus G2S I am still running a hacked kernel. I had ran the vanilla kernel for a short while, but I do not remember my power management working.

Thanks

Oh, I got it...Thanks Kably...But the kernel with nforce patch also causes the shutdown, restart and sleep problems, doesn't it... Anyway, Thank u very much

Waiting for feedback.. and good luck.

This Bios Mod works also with ASRock Motherboards.

Here the download Link of Asrock 4Core1333-eSATA2 modified bios:
http://rapidshare.com/files/103330446/4Cor...0__mod.zip.html

You can flash the bios with the Afudos.exe from ASrock.



Thx Kabyl for this bios.

moin kabyl

do you know if its possible to change speedstep p-states anywhere in dsdt?
my laptops stuck @ 2 x1ghz but capable of 2 x1,83ghz

speedstep in leo doesnt work because of the 1ghz limit of the cpu throttler kext,
so changing the lowest to 1,1 ghz would help i think

Is this Bios Mod will work with the ASROCK Wolfdale1333-D667 R2.0?

I installed the Leo4all distro and the only way to run it is with the cpus=1.

Greetings...

can anyone tell me how can i know, if all the cores are working or not.

Hey, in finder browse to applications/Utilities
Theres a system performace icon in there that will tell you


Oooh, or you can just click on the apple logo, then about this mac, then more info...

either will do.

Yes, I believe so, but they are usually defined in the SSDTs (which are a continuation of the DSDT), the kext only replaces the DSDT for now, but it shouldn't be hard (well for the SSDTs it needs some work) to replace other ACPI Tables. A BIOS mod is also an option...


Post a link to the BIOS file..

Hi Kabyl :

this is the link for the bios's ASROCK Wolfdale1333-D667

My mobo is running the 1.20 version, but i suppose the 1.30 is better ...(?)

"http://download.asrock.com/bios/775/Wolfdale1333-D667(1.30).zip"

an thank you very much for your time.

Hello, it´s possible for Asus F3Jc ?
The original driver goes here.

Thank you very much.

http://rapidshare.com/files/104691693/F3JcAS306_mod.zip.html
Feedback, please

Hi Kabyl, do not know if this is possible.
I'm trying from almost a month to install Leo on an Asus DSEB-DG a dual Xeon MoBo.
There is no way only CPUS=1 and only 10.5.1: no way to upgrade to 10.5.2 with any kernel any AppleACPIFamily.
Always stop at buffers headers and cluster IO and freeze or reboot immediately.

Do you think it is possible to apply your method to a "MacPro like" xeon board?
The link to the bios is this:
http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket.../DSEBDG1003.zip

Thanks

Hey Kabyl great work on the bios modding, I have used it on an asus U3S, works great!

can you do one for an asus vx2?

http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/VX2/VX2as206.zip

I know there was a vx2 posted earlier but that was for a vx2s and it doesnt work for this version.

Thanks again or your great work!
and thanks ahead of time

HighJinx

Thank you Kabyl For F3Jc bios file.
My win Flash V2.18 shows that.

But i know it's last and same I have in my laptop.

Should i do not use the window utility or can I change the date in bios file?

Plz Help Me...

Kabyl : Thank you very much for your modded bios's ASROCK Wolfdale1333-D667.

***************************

First of all , the flash was successful and the Leo4all DVD Installer ran without cpus=1.

I installed with vanilla 9.2.2 and the system reboots when trying to load the EFI stuff.

I will install it with alternative kernel and later i'll tell you my results.

Grretings.

****************************

New Edit :

Finally i installed the whole Leo4All DVD.

ASROCK WolfDale1333-D667 with Modded (by Kabyl) Bios 1.30
Runnning with both cores,
NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS 256MB - Leo4all Drivers.
2GB Kingston 667 - Dual Channel
Azalia Drivers runnning on the internal soundbard
Ethernet : OK (Internal)

Alternative Kernel not vanilla.

Kabyl, I'm desperated, I just bought an Acer 5920G just for Os X (the guys in the shop are not accepting returns), first the notebook completly crashed in the middle of the installation, so I decided install the newest bios.

Now the installer halts with :"Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatfrom" has immediate dependecies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style."

I know this failure is related to what your patches fix on the bios, (a couple of days ago used a patched bios from you to install another notebook with the same error message)

Can you help me?

The lastest bios is: ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/asp...a/BIOS/3811.zip

Thanks in advance.

Here's the bios Kabyl modded for my Acer Aspire 5920G http://rapidshare.com/files/104929340/ZD13...OD.WPH.zip.html

IT'S WORKING GREAT!!!!

Please, Kabyl!
Can you do the same fore my Aspire 5580 (ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_5580/bios/3508.zip)
And one more, what kind of tools do you use for modding Phoenix bioses?
Thnx

hay i have a intel duel core 2.6, and am planing to buy a new mother board and a grafix card if needed, my primary objective is to run FCP with duel monitor output can you please suggest a good configuration for the same. thanks a million

Wow awesome work and service you are doing here, Kabyl, I am deeply impressed!

Me and Mentorek, both Toshiba Laptop users, have been trying ourselves to rebuild our Phoenix BIOSes because of faulty entries in the DSDT table, which prevent most of the periphery (LAN, WLAN, sound) to work in non-MS OSes. Toshiba openly refuses to fix this because they only want to support Windows, and our efforts compiling with the latest versions of both Phoenix BIOS Editor and MS ASL Compiler always failed .

So we would be much more than happy if you could please give inserting the correct DSDT table and compiling the BIOS with it a shot .

Here's the link to the latest BIOS 4.2 from the Toshiba site for my Laptop (Mentorek has a slightly different model); the DSDT table as corrected by him is attached to this posting.

If you need any more information feel free to let me know, I have links to the postings in the Linux forums where our friends have solved this issue by injecting the corrected DSDT into the kernel itself, then recompiling the kernel.

Thank you very much (hoping)

Cheers,
Bugs

PS: Chun-Nan contributes a modded IOPCIFamily.kext which sorts out faulty DSDT entries while our iHacks boot, which fixed LAN and WLAN for me, so now all which remains to be fixed is sound, which seems to rely directly on the DSDT table in the BIOS ..

My Graphic Card Is X3100...
So GM is Bios For My Lattop...
/thank You Your Help...

Enjoy

Another happy one... Asus DSEB-DG

Kabyl did it again!!!

WOW we should put a monument in the main square of our towns just for this guy...
Now "Mac Pro" like MoBo Asus DSEB-DG a dual Xeon board can be added to the working family for x86... no more CPUS=1 and freezes and reboots...
