levithesmith Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 iATKOS didn't want to install on my main PC so I thought I'd throw it on my laptop, which was running Windows 7 Beta. All I done was F8, cpu=1. And it is now happily installing . Will post screens when I'm done. The laptop is an Asus A2H 2.66GHz. And will I have to always do cpu=1 on start up? If so is there a way to fix this? It is taking it's time, but the CPU indicator is flashing and I can hear the DVD moving. How long does an install usually take?

UnaClocker Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 That cpus=1 is an Asus problem. I hear there's a way to patch the DSDT and solve the problem with 10.5.6 that way.. Me, I solve the problem by avoiding Asus. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/146734-haha/#findComment-1040197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
