grimflow said:> Why 8,3 ? Tony wrote in his early guida to change 6,1 to 8,1. ?
why not.., it makes no difference, it checks for 8,1 8,2 or 8,3. i changed it back to macpro3,1 after update, because some of my apps think it a new machine and need reauthorization (Dragon Age 2, Remote Buddy and some other apps that checks hw id and type)
SUCCESS!
I have a Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD5-B3 and was having a hard time booting without iboot.
I skipped the 10.6.6 combo update (and bridge app thing), and installed right from the retail 10.6.3 dvd (using iboot legacy), then installed the regular 10.6.7 combo update, without rebooting, mounted the 10.6.7 MBP update and used pacifist to extract the newest kernel (you can just right click on it in pacifist and choose install - it places it in the root directory)... and even though I authorized pacifist to run as root, I guess it doesn't carry over the hidden flag, because I could see the kernel via finder. ANYWAY....
I was getting a KP with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement, so I was racking my brain why NullCPUPowerManagement.kext wasn't working.... so I figured I'd try to install the entire 10.6.7 MBP update by switching my smbios.plist to MacBookPro8,3... well.. get this... when I restarted, I didn't hit f12 in time to boot from my DVD (iboot) by accident and it loaded the normal bootloader off the hard drive.... and.. VIOLA... it's working!
Thats all I did - extracted the new kernel from the MBP update and changed the "SMproductname" key. (I also changed the "SMfamily" to MacBookPro, but I dont think that mattered)
I haven't tested everything out yet, but thought I'd share that with you guys.
[edit]
OK this is weird, I put it back to MacPro3,1 and rebooted... and it still works.
Soooooo... maybe it wasnt that, but I didnt change anything else... it defintely was KP
ing before with the 10.6.7 macbookpro kernel. Weird.
