EFI GUIDE NEEDED

[darko_os]

Hi everyone,

 

In last 10 days I have tried many Guides posted here at Forum with no success. On sunday I created Ghost image with Leo partition, to ease the pain after reboot and evidence of JUST ANOTHER F....'d patching procedure.

I have Gigabyte MoBO - GA-945GZM-S2, C2D E6320, 2GB 667MHz, GMA 950 ... with installed ToH's Leopard RC-2. Everything works fine, except C2D is shown in profiler as C2D solo!

 

I have few questions, and i beg you to answer only if you're sure, please.

The first:[/u] Do I have to install other version mach_kernel instead the one that came with Leo DVD.

 

The second: Which kexts are needed to be installed on system before reboot.

 

The third: I can't but just with -s, as mentioned in readme file supplied with PC EFI files.

 

and finaly, The Fourth: will mach_kernel that comes with DVD after, I hope, succefully EFI instalation result with detection system as real mac, with possible updates via software update option.

 

 

I will try installing EFI just one more time, if it fail my PC will look like this one

 

Thanks in advance

put the "iamefi" folder on the root of the drive from the patch file. Update to 10.5.1, restart in -s. Follow the simple instructions to run the script inside the readme.

Hi

 

First of all, not desesperate!!!!!!!!!!!

You have toh install, but you need the DVD for launch the system or boot normally from hard disk?

If you can´t boot from harddisk you need a script for correct boot of toh first and later apply the efi patch.

First see this, alot of users have the same problem

If you can´t boot from HD you don´t have efi.

 

P.S. My toh install show only core 2 solo, after efi patch show core 2 duo

Man, this is a {censored} show,

 

Read this guide, if it doesnt work for you, you have other apparent issues. It is simple and works like a charm. Even provides links for the files. One thing, will your system boot without the cd in the drive? A previous post eluded me to this?

 

 

Anyways, try this, {censored} man

Yes, the system starts up just fine, i have even updated to 10.5.1 without original kernel (left the one that came with ToH's DVD). But it simply wont apply EFI, maybe it does, but then i can't boot, restarts before darvin.

Yes, but with mach_kernel that came with update, I can't boot with -s , grey screen with ...Please restart.... {censored}.

[idividebyzero]

you have to use the apple kernel which is why you have to update to 10.5.1, old hacked kernels dont work with it...

 

If you cant get -s then you should have editted your boot.plist file so it shows the darwin timeout screen. You might want to install MacDrive on windows so you can edit the file inside windows since you cant boot leopard anymore.

My friend had had exactly the same issue like You. No matter what procedure he used - he always ended with "reboot after bootloader" issue.

 

Solution is reformat Your HDD.
