chako Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I just got a dv6 yesterday with the same chipset (PM55) and the i7 quad core. I'm in the same boat. I'll keep looking around, but if you have found something, please share. Also, how do you get it to boot after the install? My install was flawless (having used cpus=1 busratio=20), but I can't get it to boot after the install. I get an immediate kernel panic.

BountyX Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 RANDUMBNAME, try my guide on this issue. . Chako, try specifying busratio=12 on boot. If that does not work, its possible your kernel panic may be caused by another problem =( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206184-cpus1-busratio20-i7-no-cores-hell/#findComment-1396318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BountyX Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hey RANDUMBNAME, I got your PM saying its still not working =( . What kernel are you running? Try just using busratio=12 no cpus specification. Also check that hyperthreading is enabled in your bios.

If that does not work, its possible your kernel panic may be caused by another problem =( The busratio=12 worked like a charm! Thanks. I cannot seem to get more cores than 1 though. I have tried cpus=4, and cpus=8 but get kernel panics unless I use cpus=1. Any other ideas? These laptops don't have bios settings that can help. Is hyperthreading the problem? I thought I read somewhere that turning it off would help. Thanks for all the assistance. I have everything now but wireless and more cores.

Lorennz Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Try the latest SL 10.6.2 Hazard distro just with busratio=20 or 12 in your case. I have a core i7 machine works charm. No need to specify cpus even on the installation. The busratio=12 worked like a charm! Thanks. I cannot seem to get more cores than 1 though. I have tried cpus=4, and cpus=8 but get kernel panics unless I use cpus=1. Any other ideas? These laptops don't have bios settings that can help. Is hyperthreading the problem?

Softland Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi all!I've got a DV7 3085dx i7 720QM. I've noticed throughout forums that there's a few people with same specs and I've been trying for a fex days now to install a osx iAtkos v7 on my laptop. The issue is that I can only boot with flags like: ("cpus=1 busratio=12 -y -u -x") (in safemode) I've tried to install some patches and kext's but nothing seem to solve the reboot issue!!! Anyone who can help? Pleeeeeeease!!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206184-cpus1-busratio20-i7-no-cores-hell/#findComment-1460631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mammoth Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hello all, I have started a similar thread for my Sony VAIO VPCF115FM (which has very similar specs to yours) and we are having similar issues. What you need to start working with is SL retail 10.6.3. That is the only one that works with our P55M Intel chipsets. In addition to that, there is an Apple MacBook Pro 1.3 update (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1026) (needs to be applied AFTER installing 10.6.3 v1.1 Combo Update), which has a new MacBook Pro based kernel. Hope this helps, Mammoth Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206184-cpus1-busratio20-i7-no-cores-hell/#findComment-1474007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
