PC efi V5.0 and first benefits of it.
This's bugfix release.
Changes:
- fixed amds finaly (thx to Dmitrik/Bronya) (amd works only with ToH's kernel, and u should see efi entry in IODeviceTree then)
- fixed multiplier detection for intel cpus with multiplier > 15
that's all.
p.s. u can find us at netkas.org now, thx to TommyKnockers
p.p.s. fiels still at irc, #leopard irc.osx86.hu
now about first benefits of pc_efi
intel users, with intel-chip based mobos and c2d-based cpus (and core duo and core solo) can install 10.4.11 updfate on their hacks without propblems, just make postupdate patching for ur hardware (e.g. applehda, or for ahci and etc), and u can use it and do not wait for patched kernels.

It says:
"./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsX ./boot|_v4"
"Shouldn't it be ./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsX ./boot_v4"

guys, switch your brains on before start powering up the PCs!!
of course it's a typo in the readme! With PC_EFI_v5 use:
./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsX ./boot_v5

I don't understand one think. I see fix for AMD but your PC_EFI don't allow to boot on normal kernel with an AMD so what is it use for ?

Netkas: a question. What is it that prevents latest P4 Prescott on an Intel HPET mobo from using vanilla kernel?
latest P4 should have the proper requirements:
- TSC
- SSE3
- MSR register for max bus ratio (IA32_PERF_STATUS, 40:44bits)
is it just a simple cpuid check that excludes the good ol' P4?
