jarobata Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have a gigabyte DS3L and I know that having EFI and Vanilla is good but what do these mean and I read somewhere that somebody did something to get vanilla going. I also heard something about natit. Any insight is appreciated.

Any insight is appreciated. efi = lets say it is the apple bios vanilla = means it is the origninal, in case of this forum we speak about the system kernel try wiki of osx86project, here you find answers.

Ugh I don't remember things being this complicated when I did my 10.4.9 install.. I of course have searched but those terms are mentioned so much its not easy to find explanations on what they are.

Deviant0ne Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 EFI Natit Vanilla = Unmodified Apple Kernel. Most OS X86 (if not all releases until PC EFI) need a modified Kernel in order to run correctly on non-Apple hardware, i.e. a hackint0sh. Now, thanks to EFI, hackint0shes are able to run unmodified Apple Kernels and kexts.
