Kalyway install detects HP laptop as mac pro

[farnsworth]

Everything is working fine except for this. It comes up as a mac pro in system profiler and doesn't detect the battery- it doesn't say anything about a battery in Energy Saver in system prefs, and the battery icon doesn't show up. I tried installing the PowerManagement bundle from here (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=80425) but nothing changed.

The reason that it shows Mac Pro is because you are using a modified AppleSMBIOS.kext version which is hard-coded with Mac Pro string.

 

Get a Mac Book or Mac Book Pro version from OSx86 Simplified written by mac.nub.

I tried it from here (http://my.macdotnub.info/content/view/22/26/), and it now just calls my computer a "mac," but still doesn't say anything about the battery.

Hi,

try this, i had to do this once i updated to 10.5.4

 

check your AppleACPIPlatform version: kextstat | grep ACPI

 

- Battery meter does not show while using AppleACPIPlatform v 1.1.0 (KALYWAY)

( -> to fix KALYWAY AppleACPIPlatform:

 

edit /System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPlatform.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleACPIPowerSource.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

file and change:

 

<key>OSBundleLibraries</key>

<dict>

<key>com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform</key>

<string>1.0.5</string>

to:

<string>1.1.0</string>

 

then repair - reboot

 

good luck
