peach-os Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 the AppleSMBIOS.kext worked fine on LEO for me but not on tiger.you don´t need to replace it. also you could try to delete AppleEFIRuntime.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79171-efi-please-help/#findComment-561954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJMoose Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 What install disk are you using? Did you install dsmos.kext? What exactly is happening at bootup?

Ion Darie Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 ok ppl i got it working the kalyway release it seems that the problem was my partition table wich was bad when i made it i put in the new hdd and made GUID partition table from the kalyway installer but i got a tip from Barns that i should remake my partitions from a dos utility like partition magic format them as FAT32 and then from the installer format as MACOSX Extended and it worked like a charm... now my system profiler shows that i own a Mac Pro (see picture 1) altough Geekbench shows that im runing a Hackintosh (see picture 2) if anyone has any idea what should i do next please let me know Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79171-efi-please-help/#findComment-563378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
