ScottieBoi Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hello all, I recently installed Iatkos V7 on my IBuyPower HEL80. Its working flawlessly out of the box (all drivers were installed during installation, and work surprisingly well. All my devices and components are working great...with one exception... the processor. It is a Intel Core Duo T2500 2.0GHz Processor w/2,048k L2 On-die cache - 667MHz FSB. OSX is recognizing it as a 1.03 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor...and says it has only 1 processor and 1 core. I am not sure if there was something I should have selecting during the Iatkos setup (maybe an SMBios setting or something?). Does anyone have any recommendations? I feel like I am SO close....like I said...EVERYTHING is working great, with that one exception. Its so functional and works so well, I feel like I have a real Macbook. I just want to be getting the most out of my hardware as possible. At any rate, thanks for any suggestions or help!

vilpostus Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 If you do have SMBIOS installed, then check what is inside smbios.plist Though is it recognised as a single core by System profiler, or it is stated so in the boot log? Try booting with -v flag or check Console>system>log and see what is written there. If both core are seen to be working in the boot log, then it's only a wrong parameters displayed and all cores are working.

I feel like an idiot...just remembered that I was getting kernel panics when I first installed it. I saw a suggestion somewhere to try booting with the flag cpus=1. So.....is that what the issue is? I'd imagine that it is. Does that mean my CPU isnt compatible, or that I installed something incorrectly?

vilpostus Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 So.....is that what the issue is? I'd imagine that it is. Does that mean my CPU isnt compatible, or that I installed something incorrectly?Yes. It is the issue. That doesn't mean your CPU is incompatible. This only means that it can't run both cores with the current setup. It doesn't mean you did something wrong with the install. It does mean, that ether your MB can not support both cores in OS X or need some additional things to do. It is rather OS X problem, then your MB problem. Try playing with DSDT.
