System Profiler

[pitap]

Hi everyone,

 

I need a little help. I am currently running intel platform using Chameleon 2 RC3. I use smbios.plist to set up values in system profiler. All is fine except the Processor Name missing. Could someone provide some guidance ?

 

P.S. I don't have any other smbios patches/enabler interfering with the chameleon bootloader and I am using stock applesmbios

 

Many thanks in advance.

Hello guys,

 

No harsh feelings, but we people at insanely should really keep up on helping each others. I know my issue isn't a major one, but with the same question posted at inifinitemac, the responses there were quicker and more frequent. And ironically, I had to go to infinitemac just to get redirected back to insanely. Insanely is full of insightful information accumulated overtime, which is great, all wee need is an extra push on helping each other.

 

OK so the answer to my own question is as follow (For those who are as anal as I am to have system profiler display things that you want):

 

Go to this thread:

This method will allow system profiler identify your quad cpu as Quad-Core Intel Xeon. If you are still not satisfied, you can follow AquaMac's guide on how to modify the systemprofiler:

All you need to add this line to override the Xeon processor name displayed in system profiler. For my case, it would be:

 

"Quad-Core Intel Xeon" = "Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550";

 

Repair permission and then logout/reboot
