Onixs Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 PC EFI v10.5 New in release: Automatic detection of pci root uid value(for GraphicsEnabler and ethernetbuiltin options) based on parsing DSDT.aml file (if you dont use custom DSDT.aml, you will need to use -pci1 flag in case you have uid=1) . If booter fails to detect it or you dont have _UID property in pci root(in dsdt) then UID=0 used by default, but, if you have UID=1 and booter fails to detect it, use -pci1 boot flag. Uid detection works really well in most cases. Added aserebln's patch for better cpu type detection, for example I dont need to add SMcputype key anymore Better handling of pci slot names if nvidia card present PC_EFIv10.5.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/193251-netkas-pc-efi-v105/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzuka Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I just updated to this from PC EFI 10.4, and now it says (in about this mac/system profiler) that I have a quad-core Xeon, is this a big deal and how can I fix it?

metamotion Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Any suggestions for a newbie to perform the update to PC EFI v10.5? My SL is working great on my two year old build. I used this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...186065&st=0 The guide was so good and automatic, I have no idea how to upgrade. Thanks for considering.

Thanks for considering. use the app from Blackosx's guide to reveal the "boot" file. Save it as a back up just in case. Then, with Finder just drop the new "boot" file, copy over it.

Embio Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 personally I'd rather have my processor come up as 'unknown' or put the strings in myself.... It's all purely cosmetic (unless you are installing silverlight...) but why have it showing something it isn't?

That's actually a good thing. Apple never built a Mac with a "Core 2 Quad", but they did build Mac Pro models with the very similar "Quad core Xeon". So as far as any software installers are concerned, you're on a real Mac Pro!

As long you have the latest chameleon allready installed all you have to do is: 1. open terminal 2. navigate to the directory where you unpacked the zip file 3. sudo cp boot / (This copies the boot file to the root directory) 4. Reboot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/193251-netkas-pc-efi-v105/#findComment-1319415 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eject Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 easyiest way to navigate in terminal is to type cd (for change directory) and then drag and drop the directory on terminal. works with files too, i always use this to install kexts Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/193251-netkas-pc-efi-v105/#findComment-1319474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

westwaerts Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 @frenchinmunic it sounds you are a little new here, updating the bios isnt necessairy for running SL, but a patched DSDT Table can be helpful, but even this is not said to be a must. In all cases a DSDT.aml file is necessairy for running PCEfi v 10, which offers the most uptodate way to run SL. Updating the bios is done from the Winowsside, Asus has a tool therefore on their website.
