turnmacone Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hello everyone... I would like to know if there is a guide for installing PC EFI on a AMD PC. I went on to the netkas web site and it said it can be done using ToH's kernel. I have everything i need...i think but I have no idea how to do it. I found this guide http://www.digitmemo.com/articles/734/howt...-in-hackintosh/ but it has nothing about AMD. so I need some help on applying the ToH's kernel. I hope you understand this and can point me in the right direction. I would really like to upgrade to 10.4.11 thank you some things about my PC Tiger 10.4.10 ASUS A8N-SLI DELUXE ACPI BIOS Revision 1015 AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ NVIDIA GeForce 6800 XT Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71509-pc-efi-amd-pc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
richtig Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 EFI is completely an Intel idea. I've never seen any reference to any AMD motherboards that include EFI in the bios.

Since I already have ToH kernel on my AMD: -unpack the zip in the Desktop, rename the folder to iamefi, moved to the Hard Disk Icon of my main Volume (root folder) -booted in single user mode cd /iamefi ./startupfiletool /dev/rdisk0s1 ./boot_v5 -the I mounted the main volume mount -uw / -moved the AppleSMBIOS.kext mv /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext /var/root -copied the nee applesmbios kext cp -R AppleSMBIOS.kext /System/Library/Extensions -rebooted reboot Now i have EFI in my AMD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71509-pc-efi-amd-pc/#findComment-509612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
