EFI v8 on Rev 1 with mbr

mrburns05 · #1 02-03-2008, 03:25 PM

So i tried installing it, followed directions, ran script and it printed out a few lines containg a little text and a few numbers (cant remember what it said)

does that mean it installed, how can i check to see if its working properly?
i replaced the appleSMBios.kext with the one included in the efiv8.zip i got and now it shows the "about my mac" screen with the proper info

imo - the simplest way is to get geekbench2 and run the tests. if they didn't show you that you own 'Hackintosh' - then efi is fine, otherwise read guidelines one more time

Hi!

Try with this AppleSmbios http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2ic9mzziead
and add this file to /system/library/systemprofiler http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2jx2oya19wx

dont´forget repair the permissions...

does geekbench really report hackintosh (or not) depending on EFI?
as i understand the infos, it is only the exchanged applesmbios file reporting.

or does this file need efi to work?

it works if using stock AppleACPIPlatform.kext your system can boot .
