Beerkex'd Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Add permanent boot flags in /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist and fix your CPU/RAM stuff via /Extra/smbios.plist. Refer to the Chameleon bootloader documentation and this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=209712 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/220087-asus-rampage-extreme-with-cpu-problems-and-ddr3-memory-issues/#findComment-1481459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackilroy Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 For your smbios you can open it with something simple such as TextEdit, then add: <key>SMcputype</key> <string>1793</string> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/220087-asus-rampage-extreme-with-cpu-problems-and-ddr3-memory-issues/#findComment-1481559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Thanks kilroy, I'll add that to the guide. It's SMbustype if you're using Chameleon 2.0 RC4 btw. thanks for the response but can u just explain in simple terms being i am a noob and already have osx 10.6.2 installed You're funny...sorry, but I'm not going to rewrite the whole guide just for you. Read the guide, then ask specific questions about the parts that you don't understand.
