e.b Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi, just a short feedback: i tried the D830_OSX_GMA Bios. update was ok (I started the update from a running win7 installation), dell logo is replaced by a fruit etc. But when restarting win7 I get the windows error (bluescreen): "The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor for an updated BIOS." Starting with a dell win7 installation disk gives the same error. The harddisk with osx 10.6.5 (and my dsdt.aml) started correctly. Any ideas ?

crc-error404 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Maybe u have to set hdd mode from ide to ahci within bios... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e.b Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Maybe u have to set hdd mode from ide to ahci within bios... 1) I used a ahci driver in win7 (in order not to change bios settings when switching the osx and win7 hdd) 2) I also toggled hdd mode, same result regards e.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crc-error404 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Because of i have dont touched the sata mode section in bios i would prefere to flash back to oem bios in your case... Maybe if i have time i will look into bios next week im very busy atm... so keep watching next week i'll release a new version. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrules Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 i had a blue screen with ACPI compliancy errors when booting win 7 using the nvidia A15 bios. I reverted to the original one and no issues. Could you make a howto on how to apply DSDT fixes and a changed logo to the A15 bios? thank you for your work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw changing the boot logo is a very difficult thing. Dont do that if u dont know how... Btw. added a new bios in first post. Try that one - but be warned - flashing at your own risk... Tell me if it works. Thanks Cheers CRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macluscious Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Can a USB stick be used to recover the original Bios, right now getting a floppy drive is kind of very very difficult here since its obsolete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted August 24, 2011 Administrators Share Posted August 24, 2011 yeah follow the same method as wiki but with stock dell bios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
