grrifiedducky Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I recall around .4.6 and .4.5 there were extensive problems leaving on both cores when booting into osx. Does anyone know if these problems have been fixed for the most part in the latest release by JaS for 10.4.8? I have an E1405 and I am contemplating installing OSX on it, just want to make sure that works first Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40983-dual-core/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellair Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I am also trying to get the "JaS.Mac.OS.X.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.PPF.1.Integrated.JaS 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3.Defiant diskutil fix.Integrated" image running on a Acer 9423 (dual core) but it's not working. Can't figure it out to get it running. Is there something to do before installing OSX? I made a FAT32 partition with gparted and I can go through the OSX setup but at a certain level it's stopping and give me a fault in the log -> "Section 4: Fault...", or something Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40983-dual-core/#findComment-293058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinosx Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Ok, some laptops have been reported working, but for us Dell and Acer users, we have a dummed down bios that according to Semthex wont allow Mac to run both cores. Semthex's latest kernel supports both cores but like I said, there are some laptops that just wont do it! I've been researching the subject forever and to date there is no patch available that will allow it. The only possible solution for the Core Duo fix on laptops would be the EFIx86 project, EFI is what mac uses natively we have a modified version of OS X that runs on a BIOS which explains why so much hardware isn't compatible etc. What an EFI emulator would do is load just after the BIOS from a partition, boot disk, flash drive etc, and basically make everything run under EFI. With this OSX would run 100 percent native with complete hardware (dual core etc) support! There is a project surrounding this on the forum but the thread was deleted and they are working on getting it up. This seems to be are only solution at the moment but I heard that SEMTHEX was looking more into the issue to see if there is an alternate solution. So summerizing everything, our bios sucks and we need EFI!! KINGSKAWN: Try burning the installation DVD at 2x and go through it again, and when you install it's best to disable one core in BIOS then do it in OSX afterwords Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40983-dual-core/#findComment-293620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
