ShmoeTheHo Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 This is killin me.... Sometimes OS X boots, sometimes it doesn't. Installed off the pre-patched 10.4.4/5 DVD, de-selected 10.4.5 on the install. When it doesn't work on boot, it hangs at: Waiting for boot volume with UUID 629AF74D-33B6-3951-BB93-6AE12728B82C Waiting on <dict ID="0"<key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1">IOResources</string><key>IOResourceMatch</key><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict> Even an explanation of this would help.. is my hard drive not being detected (it's a PATA drive, master hooked up to a slave dvd-rw)? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't seem to find anything googling the error or searching here on the forums, and tried the wiki as well. Has anyone had this problem and recovered? Much thanks in advance.. looking forward to some informed responses! -- My Hardware Intel D945GNT Pentium D 805 1gb DDR2 160gb Seagate PATA HD NEC DVD+-RW-DL Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13332-intermittent-boot-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ced1610 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 if you desactivate your Hyperthreading in bios, the problem will diseapear... but it will desactivate your second core too... try this, it has worked for me on my Pentium D 930... in CPU config : Microcode Updation : ENABLED Max CPUID Value Limit : DISABLED Execute Disable Function : ENABLED CPU Thermal Control : DISABLED Venderpool Technology : ENABLED Hyperthreading Technology : ENABLED good luck... (but it will activate the two cores...) for looking for the cores in use, open activity monitor in Application/Utilities if there is two bargraph ---> ok othewise, try anything else...
