funnypanks Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 my acer laptop has the 10.4.11 running with vanilla kernel. using pc_efi it runs fine. except when i swap out my intel 3945 with the dell 1490 there is a kp that reads dependency iopcifamily.kext dependency ionetworkfamily.kext so can someone please tell me how to get those? thanks in advance.

funnypanks Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 also i just wanted to know if there is a way to get around having to type cpus=1 everytime i boot? can i put it into a file once so it boots with that automatically?

Konami® Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 you are lucky, I tried the efi_pc but does not work for me and I am using a core duo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmatter Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 To fix this issue without disabling multi-core within the BIOS, load up Terminal, then type: sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist edit the Kernel Flags accordingly: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>cpus=1</string> This will force your Mac installation to utilize only one core of the CPU without having to disable Multi-core in the BIOS.

funnypanks Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 also would there be a way to enable the second core? like any kexts? it is a core2duo T5500. the 2 cores worked with the xxx10.4.10 kernel. also geekbench sees it as a mac now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
