christopherb Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm running: 10.5.8 vanilla MSI X58 Platinum SLI LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Drive enabled as AHCI HPET enabled Chameleon 2.0 RC2 When I try to boot without CPUS=1 a couple of dozen lines scroll by very quickly and then the computer reboots. When I open dsdt.dsl, I don't see any Alias lines at the beginning, and it looks like this: Scope (_PR) { Processor (P001, 0x01, 0x00000810, 0x06) {} Processor (P002, 0x02, 0x00000000, 0x00) {} Processor (P003, 0x03, 0x00000000, 0x00) {} Processor (P004, 0x04, 0x00000000, 0x00) {} Processor (P005, 0x05, 0x00000000, 0x00) {} Processor (P006, 0x06, 0x00000000, 0x00) {} Processor (P007, 0x07, 0x00000000, 0x00) {} Processor (P008, 0x08, 0x00000000, 0x00) {} } I then rename it as dsdt.aml and pass it through the patcher again, move that file to /DSDT.aml, and then try to boot without any luck. Is there something critical that I'm missing? I am using DSDT Patcher 1.0.1e and last time I tried this I didn't have any problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

3ng1and Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Let me know if you have any luck with this, I am having the same problem with my P5Q Turbo / Q6600, I wonder if it is 10.5.8 causing the problems? cause I can run sysctl machdep in terminal and it is showing 4 cores, but everywhere else and geekbench is telling me that I have 1 core still. I can boot without using the cpus=1 flag, but dunno how to get my quad core up and running. I'll keep you posted on my progress as well Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180526-cant-enable-all-cores-with-dsdt-on-msi-x58-platinum-1058/#findComment-1229446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopherb Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Still no luck, it won't even boot without cpus=1.

christopherb Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 I also tried booting without DSDT and when I did that and generated a new DSDT the Alias lines came up, I removed them, and then tried to load that DSDT.aml, but still no luck. It looks like DSDT is loading correctly, and that the processor is being correctly detected. Anything else I could try? Is it 10.5.8?

I am almost tempted to go back to 10.5.7, I too am having the same problem, CPU shows up just fine, but I cant enable more than one core... do you think thats the problem?

christopherb Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 I also didn't have this problem with 10.5.7 previously, so it's very possible that 10.5.8 broke something with DSDT.
