Leopard on Quad Core Q6600 Options

[SamThomas_ZEN]

I was wondering weather Leopard can run on a quad core q6600 processor. I have seen many people run Leopard on Core 2 Duo but have not seen anyone run it on Quad core. If i can do i need any sort of patch??

Thanks

It works here, with just one core.
I need to boot up with cpus=1.

all of my cores are working on my hp

All working sweet

Used leo4all v2 iso - no problems what so ever . ( apart from after leopard update from apple it defaults to usb keyboard and mouse ) otherwise spot on , even have vmware running vista .

I just got this setup and am unsuccessfully getting to the installer on any distribution dvd I try. I am trying to confer my bios settings first, and work through each one again, [as well as try an external dvd tonight] anybody with this board want to give me any tips for setting up the bios? theres no available acpi setting, I have the (XD execute enabled) enabled, the virtualization technology enabled, the Lan off, the sata1 set to IDE. I have only one attached internal drive, its already formatted with guid/mac extended journaling - anybody want to chime in with their settings and installer dvd boot success thanks~

hey thanks for the info, I spent the entire weekend re-reading the various forums looking for install clues, I had settled down to the Kalyway1051 disk which works so great on my toshiba laptop, but has been giving me plates of grief on the new HP, like you'res which seems to be more compatible. I have the leo4all in question, so that'll bne tonights session.
Anyway, Im at the office, so although I can't try out this info yet, I appreciate it.
Just picked up a virgin internal HD, to see if that helps, as well as a new flashdrive to write an editible version of the installer to, just in case I have to start fiddling with that.

[kteljenkins]

I've still got no success, after using every install out there, heres a link to my other problem thread, about to try using a 10.4.10 disk at this point, so any tips are appreciated to my problem.

My Q6600 @ 2.7GHz with my Asus P5N-E SLI is working without a hitch with Kalyway 10.5.2. Never had to use a cpu=1 switch or anything, and all four cores are being detected.

Q6600 @3.2 Ghz All core working fine See pic

yeah, mine looks nothing like that, it still hangs on the

[Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.0: Sun Mar 2 00:11:08 SCT 2008; made by ToH:xnu-1228/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_386]

line while booting the DVD installer, it still never gets past that point. I used a modified version of the Kalyway 10.5.2 disk as referred to in this thread/

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...8915&st=20#

but have had no luck. Anybody offerring suggestions, I am all ears. Tonight I was going to try 10.4.10 and maybe the kalyway disk preparer to see if any of that moves my situation along.
thanks for reading!

A question to only those with all quad cores running:

How many of you can shutdown the system without patches?

[HOLLYW00D]

Shutdown works perfectly here, using retail 10.5, then 10.5.3 combo.

[adamsweeting]

All 4 cores running perfect on my system @ 3.4GHz... using vanilla kernel, but shutdown only works like 1 in 5 times (no biggy tho)

karaakeha1 - What was that app you are using to monitor your CPU cores?! - I want it!

We are on the same boat (or mother-boat).
