Installing Snow Leopard on ThinkPad X61
I have just successfully installed Snow Leopard on my ThinkPad X61s, from which I'm writing right now. I think this should also work with 10.5 vanilla too. Also, should be the same as with ThinkPads X61 Tablet and T61 (version with GMA…

How to force the EFI calculated FSB value
This was also a problem on 10.5.7 - my FSB value calculated by EFI is wrong. How can I force it to send a correct value? Because of this, VoodooPower also calculates wrong P-states. Tried injecting FSB into smbios.plist but that doesn't do…

Installing Snow Leopard on ThinkPad X61
“lol, you don't get the point, CeleronPopsicle. It's for people who already own ThinkPad X61. Buying X61 just for the purpose of installing Snow Leo would be ridiculous.”

Snow Leopard on Toshiba Satellite M305D
“Running SL when you have no experience with OS X will be really difficult, I suggest you try with Leopard that has lots of working solutions for your configuration (especially that you're machine is not Intel-based).”

How to force the EFI calculated FSB value
“I have the exact same problem with 10.6.2. My CPU (Core Duo) is detected correctly, but the FSB is not. I have the same values as described in the first post. Did you find a solution, NIXin ? No, I still don't have any clue at all. On top o…”

How to force the EFI calculated FSB value
“Well, thanks for trying anyway With VoodooPower I get bad P-states (because of the bad FSB, I guess) and that gives me max ~1400 MHz, instead of 1600GHz which I get without VoodooPower (which is also correct). Anyway, it's strange.”
