Hello to all of you.

Yeah, i got the same problem as all of you do. I had the "Using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster" problem, solved it and now i'm stuck with cpus=1 -f, if I don't add cpus=1, the computer restarts and if i don't add -f i get a kernel panic.

 

I have:

Intel Q9300 processor (4 cores @ 2.5 GHz)

Foxconn P35AX-S

GeForce 8800GT

 

Link to bios: Click here! - you just have to click on the Download image.

If that doesn't work, Megaupload link.

If that doesn't work, there is an attachment here.

Original MacNut please fix my bios, i would appreciate that very very much, because i'm a gamer and playing games with one core is laggy.

God bless you. :)

Hi all !

 

After spending a long time trying to fix all the issues I encountered, I am stuck with this bios problem. 1 core detected on my quad core... It's a problem as want to work with video...

 

I am requesting your help, for I am a bit depressed right now :D

 

Here is my bios' download links (I copy 4 of them just in case !) :

http://download2.msi.com.tw/files/download...exe/7353v72.zip

http://download6.msi.com.tw/files/download...exe/7353v72.zip

http://download4.msi.com.tw/files/download...exe/7353v72.zip

 

My mainboard is a MSI X48C platinum. And by the way I posted the dump for this ALC888 codec in my other post (see my profile).

 

Thank you in advance for your help !

Hi there guys, I am very new to this but I am going to try and post a link to the BIOS of my Asus P5Q-SE and hopefully you can work your magic to make it work. I have tried Kalaway 10.5.2 and IDeneb 10.5.4 to no avail. Lastly, how exactly do you "flash" a BIOS? Do I need another piece of hardware? Thanks.

 

And now the link: http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket...SUS-SE-0601.zip

 

Thanks alot.

Hello,

 

Can you fix my Bios please ? smile.gif My problem is when i don't write cpus=1 in boot options it reboots at launch wink_anim.gif

 

My specs are here and bios here

(P8400, 9600M GT, 4Go DDR2 800, 320GB)

 

Another question : After the flash, i'll need to re-install vista ? Did vista will reconize the two cores after that ?

 

 

Done

This bios worked but ... i don't have access to the boot menu, and make changes to the bios settings (very important because i need to switch off AHCI to install leopard) is impossible, is it possible to fix it or not ?

Hello, i have a problem similar to qfei, i'm running a:

 

ASUS A8JR - http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/A8Jr/A8Jr210AS.zip

intel core duo t5500

i945PM chipset

1g ddr2 667 X2

120g SATA hard disk

 

I'm using the kalyway 10.5.2 install (which i've successfully installed on 2 seperate pcs) and the installer hangs at the screen with all the code (before the gray apple screen -> sorry for the lame explanation, i wish i knew what it was called :angel:) I went through the thread but it seems like qfei wasn't able to find a solution in the end, would you reccommend using that bios that u posted earlier or start from scratch with a new modified bios? > i'm a bit weary of tring a modded bios as it's kinda my uni pc but hey whatever happens right?

 

edit: also i noticed this guy who has an A8JP removed some kexts from the kalyway installer to get it to work > http://insanelymac.blogspot.com/2008/09/ho...lyway-1052.html do u think that'd work for an A8JR, or would a modified bios be the more reliable method?

Hi again

 

I flashed the bios with the modified version (mainboard MSI X48C platinum), but still I can not install Leo without the cpu=1 fix (infinite reboot on startup, once the install is completed and the computer restarts)... Which means of course that I have only one core detected in Leo after the install... :wacko:

 

Any idea about how to solve this ?

 

Anyway, thank you again for having patched this bios !!!
