hydatikz Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hey, I'm about to install iPC osx86 on my dell studio 1535 laptop, I know which drivers to install etc following a guide but i am slightly worried about the SMBIOS? What is SMBIOS? Will it overwrite my current BIOS? and will it prevent me from using windows again? Any help is much apreciated. Thanks I also keep getting stuck at Kernel Version: Darwin kernal version 9.5.0: date etc etc Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171881-help-with-smbios/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I also keep getting stuck at Kernel Version: Darwin kernal version 9.5.0: date etc etc SMBIOS stands for System Management BIOS. OS X has trouble reading information (CPU speed, RAM type.....etc) from our BIOS because it's made for EFI. We use drivers (kexts) that inject fake/real information to OS X to make up for the missing information. Nothing will touch your BIOS.
