ever dying Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hey guys, I would like to warn a couple of people using the modified asus a7S bios. It completly {censored}ed up my notebook, Asus had to replace my motherboard and my graphics card. Both were overused by a wrong version of the bios Asus told me, plus some other things they could not explain.. (osx86?) So, if you want to flash the bios, make sure the bios version you are using is made for YOUR notebook.

olesk Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Just one quick question if anyone knows: if one uses the Vodoo kernel none of this matters, right? (At least with me, with the Vodoo kernel I can use both my cores). This is only if one wants to rather use a vanilla kernel (where I too had to use cpus=1 to get it to boot)? I had a million problems with the vanilla kernels, but as soon as I switched to the the Vodoo kernel everything (GPU/cores/SATA) worked right off the bat...

HowDoYouDeleteAccountHere? Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Btw, are we going to be able to boot other operating system like Linux, BSD or Windows? I hope Windows will work after changing BIOS, so I can get back my old BIOS if something goes wrong (don't have external floppy). :s Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90505-modified-bios-to-get-all-cores-working/page/59/#findComment-1062382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarekp Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Would the bios for GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DQ6 motherboard be doable this way, too? (w/Intel Q6600 quad core cpu) Or perhaps someone's tried this model already, and I just missed it, while doing the search? Here is it's BIOS link, in case someone's willing to take a look and help. asia.giga-byte.com/FileList/BIOS/motherboard_bios_ga-ep45-dq6_f12.exe By the way, are there any links for the tools to decompile/recompile such things, available somewhere? tia, jarek Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90505-modified-bios-to-get-all-cores-working/page/59/#findComment-1062591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowDoYouDeleteAccountHere? Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I flashed my BIOS, OSX works without cpus=1 (and it's using both cores, ofcourse), boots without crashes, Windows can be booted too and I'm very happy.

londonmac Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Sorry for newbie question. (ASUS F3s V) But can i ask... 1. Assuming i need to update my BIOS how do I find out which one I currently have and which one I need? I assume there are tools that allow me to flash the BIOS although I'll have to fgure this one out as I only did this wih floppy drives in the past (I assume USB drives dont work with the DOS based flash uitlities) 2. Once Ive done this should I be able to get into ANY sort of a GUI with Kalyway 10.5.1 as I never got ANYWHERE with iATKOS 5i (it would alwasy reboot almost instantly after a brief flash of the grey mac logo. Can you tell me what I should typ at the "boot;" prompt? Many thanks.

LZSaver Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Oh! I found bios mod at www.osxcores.site50.net and i'm happy! Also osrom.net/biosmod is a good web-resource! If u have AMI BIOS u should copy original bios as AMIBOOT.ROM on floppy! If ur computer don't wonna boot u can use Control+Home keys and install original bios! U can reboot after 4 beeps. If u have Award BIOS u should make autoexec.bat for bios auto installation and use this floppy if ur computer don't wonna boot.

Sorry if these are stupid questions, but I'm new to all of this :-) Yes, a Modded bios should fix that issue, or you can hit F8 before booting to type CPUS=1 boot flag to boot up with only 1 Core, there is many posts regarding this subject. Also, with your Notebook I would think it would support USB booting, as well there are many Subject regarding this. Most the time you can hit F11 for other boot options, I know on my Notebook it's F12, so pending your setup it could be different. You might try google.com to find out how to Flash you Notebook. You might also look to see if your Notebook supports HPET & Execute BIT enabling ( XD, I think it the Short hand ). These Must be turned on as well in most setups, If XD is turned on, try turning it off, I know with my system turned off will let me boot using 1 Core to make Changes to the System.
