Toshiba A100-TA9 Dual cores?

[saketh321]

Hi,

Just wondering if the everyone using a dual core still is having to use a CPUS=1 function to get by the boot screen or is there a fix out there?

Thx

Try this. Edit your com.apple.Boot.plist which is located in Library>Preferences>SystemConfiguration. Open that file with BBedit.

You should see something close to this.

<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Quiet Boot</key>
	<string>No</string>
	<key>Timeout</key>
	<string>5</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

Now edit that space between <string></string>.

 

<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>idlehalt=0</string>
<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Quiet Boot</key>
	<string>No</string>
	<key>Timeout</key>
	<string>5</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

Save it and reboot. Then at the darwin prompt DO NOT ENTER cpus=1, just press enter. Hope it works.
