Software Update asking me to update Macbook Pro EFI Firmware ?!?!

Hey!

Must be doing something right! Just audio away complete SL install.

I edited the smbios.plist to mimic a Macbook Pro 5,1 since I've got a very close match, and system profiler reads correct Ram and CPU (although says CPU unknown... help welcome!!)

Copied all entries from the web from a real MBP...

Check out the pic.

What up with that ?

It wont work, You dont have an EFI chip. Even if you do it, it wont install, since it has no instructions where it is on your *Hacbook pro*

I know that

I'm just saying, Snow at first was very tough to tame, but it sure looks like many are heading to rock solid setups, and with this info, more heavy duty apps will be able to correctly register HW info and work accordingly. I think this is the first time I've seen proof of really tricking Apple for myself

Also, it does help to tune up your system. I decided to post because I've been trying all summer and I'd never come across editing smbios.plist inside of Extra folder.

I may be a reason a a KP or two also.

I can post my smbios.plist, but I achieved this by "cloning" from a real macbook pro with spec similar to mine.

All you have to do is introduce model, a serial number, ram and cpu speeds etc.

It just a more extended smbios edit, not just ram and cpu from just

Like this, in my case.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
