Hello everyone
I know this forum is for Leopard AMD but I'm using tiger. I would like to install PC EFI on my system. I have been looking for help with is. but it's hard to get AMD support.
I would really appreciated if someone can write a guide for me explaining how to install PC EFI on my system. I would like to be able to do update from apple especially get my system from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11

thank you

You can install EFI on an AMD system same as intel. you just can't use the stock Apple kernel. Still have to use a hacked one.

ok I installed PC EFI on 10.4.10 following the wiki gide. after I reboot my system I don't see any changes. system still reports hackintosh. after that I install the modified AppleSMBIOS.kext and reboot my system. when it starts up I get a message AppleSMBIOS.kext ...cant be loaded. something like that. the system goes to a blue screen and its stops their.
maybe I'm doing something wrong I don't know. but I would be really grateful if someone can help me get this working.

thank you

Fix the permissions on AppleSMBIOS

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBios.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBios.kext
