jon w Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 ToH kernel, 10.5.0, nvinject, AppleHDA Patcher, Alc888a After boot one of my two cores is running at 100% utilization and stays that way for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. After that it goes back to 0% and everything seems fine. At first I thought maybe it was spotlight creating an index or something but this has been going on for a week now. Digging around I found people recommending kernel parameters, "idlehalt=0", "platform=X86PC" and "platform=ACPI". I tried all three and none of them helped. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Risr Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Sounds like you didn't patch your disk completely. See, on all Intel disks made by Apple. There is this special program that runs to find a specific file/hardware. (forgot) If it isn't there, it'll keep easting up all your CPU, until it finds the file. You have two options; 1) repatch the disk 2) find the file and delete it in root.

jon w Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 When you say "patch your disk" is this referring to patching that takes place in "post patching"? The does this happen in some script I'm supposed to run after install? like "./9a581-PostPatch.sh"Or maybe following "post install" instructions like this?http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=47 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73500-100-cpu-after-bootup/#findComment-520457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
