albeva Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi has anyone tested core i7 cpu yet? I tried to install today but it crashes the moment it repoots. doesn't help using safe-mode or verbose or to skip config files at startup. for a moment the screen flashes white and then crashes. motherboard is gigabyte EX58-UD4. install was uccesfful, but hdd was detected only 128GB (while in reality is 360GB) and was a very very very slow install (over an hour) not sure if I did something wrong or the hardware is simply not supported.

Well you need to set busratio="What ever your cpu multiplier is" as a kernel argument An my Gigabyte X58-UD3R runs just fine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/156001-core-i7/#findComment-1098751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
