Boot + Update questions

[GoldenEye006]

Hi,

 

I'm new to the mac world.

 

I installed iATKOS v5i, it works but at the boot i mus type cpus=1

 

Is there a way that i mustn type this every time at the boot?

 

 

 

And an other thing, if i search after updates, ther are 10.5.6, can i install this update, will mine pc still work?

 

 

 

Greetings,

Welcome to InsanelyMac!

 

Please provide us with some specifications about your system (CPU, Motherboard, Graphics & Model Number if applicable). Adding more specific information allows us to respond quickly with more precise answers. Chipset, LAN, Audio & If your Graphics are integrated or not, are excellent additions.

 

You can also place this information in your "Signature". It will then appear on every post you make. This can be done via My Controls: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...rCP&CODE=00

Please follow the rules described in this thread (Most importantly keeping your signature to no more than 5 lines of normal text: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...p;hl=signatures

 

*You can add this com.apple.boot.plist so that it does this on boot every time you startup.

Open Terminal and type:

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

Look for:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string></string>

Add cpus=1 to the strings. If there are already items in this string you can add additional ones using a single space. For example to also boot in Verbose Mode, recommended till you get your system to 100%, you can use the following:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>-v cpus=1</string>

Make a backup copy of your extensions folder and your kernel.

Open Terminal and type:

mkdir /backup
cp -r /System/Library/Extensions /Backup/
cp -r /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.backup

 

Now if you need to pull files from 10.5.5 you will have a backup. Likewise if your kernel gets overwritten you can use the boot-option mach_kernel.backup to load the old one.

 

Use the search feature on this forum. The topic is well written about. I would spend some time reading other people's problems and the fixes to them as this will help.

 

If you follow a guide and run into some issue you can not find on the forum then post back. Good Luck!
