hitman38 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Hi all I am trying to get osx 10.4.9 running on my PC but hangs on startup with the "starting CPU 01". I am using the Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2] install dvd which work great, but when using the Mac_OS_X_10.4.9_AMD_update_by_Myzar i get the "starting CPU 01" hang. I have tried disabling one of the CPU core but there is no option for that on my mobo. the specs of my system are: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2Ghz Dual Core CPU (Socket 939) ASUS A8N-SLI Premium 2GB DDR 400 RAM 80GB seagate PATA hard drive Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 256MB Onboard Sound Onboard LAN Any help would be great Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71815-starting-cpu-01-hang/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this was where my 10.4.11 crashed until I realized ACPI did not work. I fixed it by using kext from working 10.4.10 install. So it may have nothing to do with dual cpus.

hitman38 Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 I tried booting with the cpus=1 it still hangs, so must be somthing to do with the ACPI kext. if i use the one from 10.4.8 that should work. how do i go bout installing that kext what is the name of the kext?

hitman38 Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 I worked what i needed to do, there two kexts that get replace when install the 10.4.9 update "ApplwSMBios.kext" and "AppleACPIPlatform.kext" i backed up the these kexts from the 10.4.8 install and replaced them after the 10.4.9 update and it all works great. I am now able to install and use iLife '08 (except iDVD) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71815-starting-cpu-01-hang/#findComment-509179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
