Dahwan Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 These are my rough specs sketched down from the top of my head MSI x48 platinum (http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=pr...mp;prod_no=1392) intel q6600 quad core processor GeForce 9800GTX I've installed iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 final using cpus=1 bootflag. I've gotten internet, audio and graphics to work flawlessly, but i want to use all my cores for photo and video editing, as well as rendering in Maya. I've heard this can be gotten around doing some DSDT mumbo jumbo. Anyone know what i should do?

Synaesthesia Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I would say you should search the Insanelymac forum with Google for how to do the DSDT mumbo jumbo. type DSDT site:insanelymac.com into Google.

myFJ Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I had the same problem with a Gigabyte EP45-DS3R board with a Q6600. It originally had the cpu=1 flag and iPC 10.5.6 only recognized one cpu with one core. I removed the "cpu=1" flag and now everything runs perfectly! Hope that works for you T Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/155747-have-to-use-cpus1-boot-flag/#findComment-1098275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Ya. I think he can't remove it, otherwise it doesn't work. Need to hack the BIOS or DSDT or something.

Hope that works for you T I'm guessing os x crashed when you tried using all the cores originally, then you dsdt patched and then it worked. If not, that was the dumbest post i ever saw Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/155747-have-to-use-cpus1-boot-flag/#findComment-1098521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
