Hi guys,

Since there will probably be no more kernel update for leopard, I decided to give this mod kernel a shot since it is supposed to be more optimized than the stock kernel.

What I did was I backed up the stock kernel and copied over the AnV kernel to /root. Everything booted up fine and is working fine so far except somehow the Model Identifier was overridden to MacBookPro5,1 instead of MacPro3,1 as I set in the smbios.plist.

I believe this is a rather minor issue and most likely cosmetic, but I am still curious to find out why this is happening. Is there something missing that I did not do?

Many thanks in advance.


EIDT: I tried modify com.apple.boot.plist with no success

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32"</string>
<string>macmodel=MacPro3,1</string>
<key>Boot Banner</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</key>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>10</string>
<key>device-properties</key>

Im experimenting the same issue with macmodel override!
Even with the parameter set at the SMBIOS.plist

Is there a solution yet?
Peace

Like this:
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>macmodel=MacPro3,1 [other arguments]</string>
