chiklit Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi. I've gotten OS X installed and everything seems to be working well. However, there's an issue I'm curious about. In the system profiler under hardware it says that there was an error and my system is referred to as "system-product-name". I looked around and found that the problem may be related to the AppleSMBIOS. Currently I'm using a vanilla AppleSMBIOS.kext with a smbios.plist in Chameleon 2's /Extras folder. It appears to be loading it because the values I set for the RAM appear in the RAM section of the System Profiler, but I can't seem to get it to recognize any sort of model for my computer. Here's my specs as well as what my smbios.plist and system profiler looks like. Motherboard: ASUS P5Q PRO (Using modified BIOS) Chipset: Intel P45 System: OS X 10.5.7 running vanilla kernel (Originally installed iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 then updated using Apple's standard update) CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 GPU: nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX 768mb (using nvinject) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>SMbiosversion</key> <string>MP31.88Z.00C1.B00.0802091544</string> <key>SMmanufacter</key> <string>Apple Inc.</string> <key>SMproductname</key> <string>MacPro3,1</string> <key>SMsystemversion</key> <string>1.0</string> <key>SMserial</key> <string>W87234JHYA4</string> <key>SMexternalclock</key> <string>333</string> <key>SMmaximalclock</key> <string>2836</string> <key>SMmemtype</key> <string>19</string> <key>SMmemspeed</key> <string>800</string> <key>SMmemmanufacter_1</key> <string>G.SKILL</string> <key>SMmemserial_1</key> <string>0x00001020</string> <key>SMmempart_1</key> <string>F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ</string> <key>SMmemmanufacter_3</key> <string>G.SKILL</string> <key>SMmemserial_3</key> <string>0x00003021</string> <key>SMmempart_3</key> <string>F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ</string> </dict> </plist> This doesn't appear to be negatively affecting how OS X runs in any way, but it'd be nice to not have my PC show up as "Kevin Vinck's System Product Name" on the network on my iMac and MacBook Pro.

JeanLuc7 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 You may change this "Kevin Vinck's System Product Name" in the "Sharing" section in the system options. It' s the first entry on top of that section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
