Acer Aspire 3680 notebook:

Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 1.73 GHz

945GM

 

The issue is that it wont start unless i use either cpus=1 or idlehalt=0. the Kalyway DVD is the only exception, but once Kalyway installs, it still wont run both cores without idlehalt=0. it freezes the boot at "IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87"

Sorry, I'm always failing to patch my BIOS, so now I'm requesting to mod.

 

File: ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/nb/G2Sg/G2SG303AS.zip

Specs: See [http://www.lordrothen.de/cpuz.htm] for my specs. A NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT is built into the Notebook.

Issues: Notebook is not properly booting [ http://localhostr.com/files/f6520f/P1010478.JPG ], unable to change SATA mode to ahci

 

Thank you very much!

If your acer 3680 update to 10.5.5, it can make your both core working

you're sure about that? The 3680 doesn't actually come with a dual core processor, I upgraded from a celeron M. And according to apple you aren't supposed to use the 10.5.5 update on integrated graphics. Which I have integrated GMA945 graphics.

i just spent all day upgrading from 10.5.2 to 10.5.4 to 10.5.5, and i still cant use dual core. and because of my integrated graphics card, i cant even use OSX now. as soon as it gets past the blue screen before loading the login window, the screen turns black with a bunch of jumbled stuff on the screen and the whole bottom half is white lines. all i can see is the mouse cursor... i really need dual core working.

Hi there,

I tried to search so forgive me if a modified BIOS has been requested for: P5N32-SLI Premium

Link to orig bios: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket...Premium1002.zip

 

With Kalyway 10.5.2 it installs and works fine. The system profiler shows number of cpu's 1, total number of cores 0 with an 'unknown' cpu detected.

 

Specs are:

MB: ASUS P5N32-SLI PREMIUM

CPU: Q6600

PCI-E: NVidia 7800 GTX (256)

Maxtor 300gb SATA drive

Onboard audio

3com pci Network card.

 

OR is this a different problem?

 

Thanks for your time.
