now could anybody tell me how I can get system profiler and about this mac to show correct processor speed?
I suspect that I have to edit some file to get it to show 2.4 GHz instead of the wrong 3.8GHz its currently displaying.
(cpu-x shows the real cpu name)

Would be really nice if anybody could help me out here

Read Omargoa's post here

Regarding the name of the CPU you have to edit

/System/Library/CoreServices/Resources/English.lproj/AppleSystemInfo.strings

find "UnknownCPUKind" = "Unknown"; and replace "Unknown" with the name of your CPU . Save the file.

I think you have to do this as root otherwise you won't be able to save .

Jihaaaaa, its working !

Just done it like Cee has said....

I just add the IOATAFamily.kext added by lancelotu and boot with -x -v
Got the Welcome Movie and used kextutility, then it boots without any command!

Thanks for all your help !!!
Now installed the sound - also works

But i have one Question left

Yesterday, I bought me 2x2GB 1066mhz DDR2 Ram for my Asus P5K Green...
I have done the install with 2x1GB 800mhz Rams ...
With one 1066mhz Modul Leopard 10.5.8 and Snow Leopard boots very fast.
With 2 Ram Modules of 1066mhz it wont boot, Bootloader appears, then the grey startingscreen but no "loading-sign" and the HDD LED is not working.
This Problem is on Leopard and Snow Leopard ?!
In Bios all Rams are recognized and are set how they have to be !

Do you have 2gb before, that was working? Are you using any ide ports?

Renira · #**139** 09-03-2009, 03:09 PM

yes, it works with 2GB (one RAM-Module) 1066mhz Ram, too.
But with 2x2GB it won´t boot.... the Memory is ok !
i don´t use any IDE-Port, just S-ATA (1x DVD-Drive, 2x HDD)

I followed this guide, to a T, and when I reboot and try booting from the drive with 10.6 on it, it fails, the screen just goes black. I hit F8 and put in -x64 -f -v and I see an error message almost immediately. Something about the Kernel being too big? I did some research on this and it talked about having my drives set to AHCI in my bios, which they are already.
