hackintosh4life Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Ok well i installed the tubgirl 10.4.10 amd sse3 disc with the preinstalled EFI patch and the thing is after i boot up into the GUI and i go into the system profiler I see that my machine name is Mac but the werid thing is it tells me about my BIOS and boot ROM it even gives me a seriaL number to my computer (witch is not the serial assiged by my manufactuor acer) & in the system profiler it lists me as a Turion 64 x2 but under "about my mac" its a athlon but anyway does any one else have a "serial number" under system profiler & about my mac? Because when i look at the Iatkos screen shots with the EFI emulation i dont see anything about serial numbers? Please Help Uphuck is you see this can you explain???

frizbot Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Use more punctuation I've removed periods from my post to show you why Hardware serial numbers are normal It's a unique identifier for your hardware part It is not OS X related Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/74466-serial-numbers/#findComment-526172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabr Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 As of PC EFI v5.1, Netkas included a modified AppleSMBIOS.kext which makes OS X think you are a real Mac Pro. Consequently, a serial number is assigned to it. Main advantages of 5.1 - changed smbios kext, which will turn ur pc to a closed to real Mac Pro.
