Hi I hope someone could give me a few tips here please?

 

I just finished installing OSX 10.6.2 The system is stable but I am really a bit lost using Chameleon as I was using Asere's booter and find my self clueless setting up the new RC5

 

Could someone tell me where this package installed the SMbios.plist?

 

I need to set the machine type to 3.1 and correct my memory type since auto detection don't seem to work.

 

I want to move it to E/E where it belongs so I can find it to edit in the future.

 

My Profiler is showing up all wrong

 

Hardware Overview:

 

Model Name: iMac <-- This should be Mac Pro

Model Identifier: iMac8,1 <----- This needs to be set to 3.1

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

Processor Speed: 3.17 GHz

Number Of Processors: 1

Total Number Of Cores: 2

L2 Cache: 6 MB

Memory: 4 GB

Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz

Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00

SMC Version (system): 1.37f3

Serial Number (system): SOMESRLNMBR <--- I am pretty sure this can't be right how do I fix this?

Hardware UUID: 149C696F-DB57-593D-8231-481F4718017D

 

My memory section is all wrong too.

 

Memory Slots:

 

ECC: Disabled

 

Bank0/1/A0:

 

Size: 2 GB

Type: DDR2 SDRAM

Speed: 667 MHz

Status: OK

Manufacturer: N/A

Part Number: N/A

Serial Number: N/A

 

Bank2/3/A1:

 

Size: Empty

Type: Empty

Speed: Empty

Status: Empty

Manufacturer: Empty

Part Number: Empty

Serial Number: Empty

 

Bank4/5/A2:

 

Size: 2 GB

Type: DDR2 SDRAM

Speed: 667 MHz

Status: OK

Manufacturer: N/A

Part Number: N/A

Serial Number: N/A

 

Bank6/7/A3:

 

Size: Empty

Type: Empty

Speed: Empty

Status: Empty

Manufacturer: Empty

Part Number: Empty

Serial Number: Empty

 

It should be DDR3.

 

If I could find the SMbios.plist it sure would be a great start.

 

Here is my Apple.boot.plist.

Do I need to change something here to get the machine type or the memory detection working?

Do u remember what u ticked at the installer (standard, efi hfs, efi fat) ? If u don't have a folder called "Extra" on the root of osx drive, then u probably installed on an EFI partition. to access it, open a terminal type sudo -s, type in your password, then type this mkdir /Volumes/EFI; mount_hfs /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI then killall Finder. when finished editing do not forget to unmout the partition with this umount -f /Volumes/EFI; rm -rf /Volumes/EFI

Done.

I have a Extra folder and a extensions in the root of my OSX snow install drive like it should be. That is the same folder I put my 3 kext I used and the themes folder as well. When I installed this I just selected my OSX install drive like I always do.

The smbios.plist should be in your /Extra since you have one you only need to add it, below is my file you would need to modify for your install. Changing the bus, memory and max clock speeds plus I would imagine the memory type from the 19 for ddr2 to possibly 20 for ddr3 not sure on that though you would need to check for correct number for the ddr3. I doubt that the iMac is going to change in the display as that needs to be set on original install as far as I can tell. It will change the iMac8,1 to MacPro3,1 as this is what I did with my spare machine to get the speedstep working on it.

Ok I got the Smbios thing right now. I left out the value for the SMmaximalclock and it auto detected the proper cpu speed like it should.

This looks better

Hardware Overview:

 

Model Name: Mac Pro

Model Identifier: MacPro3,1

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

Processor Speed: 3.17 GHz

Number Of Processors: 1

Total Number Of Cores: 2

L2 Cache: 6 MB

Memory: 4 GB

Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz

Boot ROM Version: MP31.00C1.B00

SMC Version (system): 1.37f3

Serial Number (system): W87234JHYA4

Hardware UUID: 149C696F-DB57-593D-8231-481F4718017D

 

Thanks for the help

 

This is a great combo using The Rc5 Pre8 and the Cartri Mac edition bios this was by far the easiest install.

All I needed for this was

[url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url]

Retail 10.6.0 snow

Comb update 10.6.2

Chameleon Rc5 pre8 installer

and 3 kext I listed in my post

 

and so far everything work like a charm. Nuke'in that DSDT file was the best thing since white bread.

I miss Asers booter because it had such great auto detection.

 

Is Chameleon getting any closer to getting the memory detection stuff working? Would there be a better RC5 Pre version I could have used?

 

I would also say the the machine has much better overall performance, Boot times was cut to about 1/3 the time and shut down is much faster now as well.

 

Thanks to the Chameleon & Cartri this install was a pleasure

After the brainstorming of ideas, discussion, and debate that took place earlier in this thread, I often wonder where everybody went? Rekursor, Asere, Master Chief...

 

Did they get together and disappear underground to work on a new collaborative project? or is that just my mind working overtime? Lol

Well I am a member over in the EFI-X users forum where Asere was hanging out doing DSDT. and his booter project and one day he just disappeared like he was taken by aliens during the night. The buzz was he was having some sort of a legal dispute. I don't know with who or why though. They even locked his DSDT thread. Maybe the Apple police got him or something. It hard to believe a guy as active as Asere would just disappear like that unless something happend.

 

I did not Know Master Chief and Rekursor went missing as well. These are some very big names in the OSX86 Project

 

HAY BlackOSX now maybe you should be looking over your shoulder too *LOL* With all these big names going AWOL.

 

I can tell you one thing I wish they all would resurface. I was a big fan of there work and tey are missed for sure.

 

APPLE POLICE I TELL YA :( Or the Aliens :laser:

 

MAybe should have a poll *LOL*

IMHO is hard to see such a "mix" working together... :angel:

But indeed they disappear like others who "smoked" the voodoo magic... :D

What is soldered on board should get the built in property automate, if not you should add it, but only in case it dosen't show up, else is just a waste of code/space...

Built in + _SUN is a non go and illogical...

Hope this clear things for you.

More and less King,, my english,,, listen hence my corrections are wrong?

 

sun only for vga pcie and pci wireless with built-in 01

 

only built-in 00 for two soldered lan

 

how should i correct?

 

 

Thanks, (if this is wrong)

 

Edit: wait, the two soldered lan are show in Ethernet also without obviously built-in 00, hence you say me that i can delete the code: bult-in 00? Right? Ok, but that code don't produce nothing of wrong for me.. you say for the space?

 

Built in + _SUN is a non go and illogical...

 

Built-in 00 +SUN? Or also built-in 01 + SUN is no logical?

 

Edit2: for pci i don't understand if bult-in 01 or sun or both are right.. Who say a thing, who say another thing etc etc, the sun now is only on pci device, vga and airport, + bult-in 01 this is right? Or i should use only sun without built-in 01?

 

These aren't, in your opinion, superficial problems? I would say, consider that everything works perfectly

 

 

Definitively, what are the right combinations?:rolleyes:

Off,

 

There is no built-in 01, that is also wrong, really dunno who had that brilliant idea, apple use only 00

 

 

Oh, finally;) many wrong by using built-in 01, and are in many! So far I was not able to find exact confirmation, finally.

 

Hence only built-in 00 and sun only for pci. I hope that now everything is correct. Thanks

 

Edit:

What is soldered on my board (the 2 lan i talk) get the built in property automate, so i delete the built-in code from they.

 

I add the built-in 00 only for pci airport. The sun obviously is only for this last

 

 

Edit: I have remove all built-in from code for pci and onboard(lan etcetc) and all works amazing the same.

Yeah, I've seen you in there. I keep my eye on that forum :)

Thanks for the info. I hope that's not the case.

ROFL.. thanks. I'm flattered you even put me in the same bracket, but I only dream of possessing their skills. I just read a lot.

 

But indeed they disappear like others who "smoked" the voodoo magic... :D

"smoked" the voodoo magic..

Ha ha.. That's a good one.... I like that phrase :D

I'm new to hackintoshing, so please excuse me if I come off as stupid.

 

Anyway, I'm interested in installing Chameleon RC5, from what I can see, I've found an installer for an older pre version, and that the trunk versions are stable enough for ordinary use according to some.

 

Any recommendations on what I do, and whether I should install RC4 instead and not worry about RC5? I remember reading somewhere that RC5 would have some feature related to multibooting that would be quite useful, and I've also seen that RC5 has a prefpane.

Pre 18, r112 works and boots fine but does not detect memory modules properly so i now have to place my smbios file back into /Extra folder.

 

I'm using DDR3 1600Mhz

Shows as DDR2 800Mhz

Locking of the thread was done by the admins only because he hadn't been on the forum in a while, they said they'd unlock it if re-appeared and requested them to do so - no legal issues at all.

He's Alive!.. Good to hear you are still around Master Chief. :(

I just got a new boat and we decided to go out and sail for a couple of months...

Wow. That sound exciting, enjoy your trip.

 

My sea legs are non-existent leaving me feeling sick at the slightest wave.

Ah ha!

Okay, so we officially don't feel sorry for you. :)

 

Questions:

Did Apple buy this boat for you? :P

Is the rest of the Chameleon team with you? :P

 

Enjoy the trip and think of us now and then, like once a month or so.

:(
