Hey guys, long time stalker, first time poster

Just moved from 10.5.6 using Munky's EFI bootloader to 10.6.1 using Chameleon 2 RC3 & PC-EFI 10.5 installed on the main drive, thanks in main to sk1nhd33t's easy to follow guide.

Evrything is running very smoothly apart from two little problems, sleep *surprise* and "About This Mac" crashing. I think sleep failing might be related to my "About This Mac" problem so that's what I've been trying to fix.

I noticed that System Profiler was reporting my Processor speed and Bus Speed incorrectly so tried fixing it using Chameleon's smbios.plist, but it didn't fix my problem. I then read that the smbios.plist is only a cosmetic fix.

I decided to go looking for a Snow Leopard compatible SMBIOS enabler, but all I could find was andyvand's SMBIOS for Snow Leopard. As you can guess, it didn't work. As a randmom stab in the dark, to see if my theory was right, I set my install to use the 32bit kernel and installed the AppleSMBIOS.kext that I was using under 10.5.6. Low and behold, it worked.

From what I can see in System Profiler, it's changed my Boot ROM Version and System Serial Number, it looks like a Netkas AppleSMBIOS. But I might be wrong. What I'd like to know is, how can I patch my own 64bit Snow Leopard AppleSMBIOS based on the 32bit Leopard one.

I've attached a screen shot of the AppleSMBIOS loaded showing it's version and the Serial number values it's changed.

Cheers for reading guys
