Possible ACPI problem TONGFANG netbook - AMI

Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2009 9:26 pm
by macrules
I purchased a TONGFANG netbook from China with the model number CMT-101A.
It has a intel Atom processor and a GMA950 chip, similar to an MSI Wind, mostly Realtek components for the rest.

I am trying to install OS X, which goed flawlessly on the Wind, but fails on this one with a 4096 buffer error.
It seems to be related to ACPI trouble in BIOS.
I have no stock Bios file to mod so i tried to extract it with AMIDOS/WIN version 8.
In both cases, the Bios reading starts after which 2 beeps are heard and the machine shuts down, making it impossible to extract the bios.

I am out of options and really hope somebody can help me to get the BIOS BIN so I can post it to get it fixed.

lots of hardware info is attached, it is an unknown AMI bios.

Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

I also have the DSDT.asl file extracted from Linux if this helps!

no OS X listed. I have no idea why they do not support it but it is not supported for whatever reason. did you try a Linux variant to see if it's not the actual memory that is broken?
