in theory yes, but in practice that's risky.

why ? you will say to me.

Generaly, for small update like security update there is no problem.

but most of the time, big update (like for exemple 10.5.1 -> 10.5.2) modify extensions that are patched for working on your mobo( eg: Id added for your sata or anything else) or add extensions that must be removed for your mobo (eg: AppleCPUPowerManagement) , so it may result on Kernel Panic.

Best thing to do, wait. if we say you if that's ok to do or not this update. If that's not ok , we will do a pre-patched combo update.

Than i don't understand what is the difference between fully patched dvd and the vanilla(efi)staff? and olso let's say i install imac cpu(in theory) than what happend or it olso depends on the motherboard

When using EFI, you can use Vanilla Kernel (original Apple one), so no more need to use a patched kernel. Compatibility is increased because the kernel is not modified. But you can use vanilla only if your Cpu is from core family. the imac cpu is exactly the same than a pc one (core2duo).

The big difference between a Mac and a Pc are the mobo components and also Gfx card. Some Pc mobos are using nearly the same components so the patching is not big. But for most of mobos, components are differents so we have to insert the IDs of these components to make osX recognise them. So when you do a big update, some Vital Extensions for your mobo could be replaced by this update and the IDs we have added will dissapear.

Hi!

I have nForce 650i SLI chipset.

 

At installation i install efi mbr without vanilla kernel (Vanilla kernel does not work for me...)

In system profiler it show's:

Processor 2.4 Ghz Unknown

Number Of Processors: 1

Total Number Of Cores: 4

 

With switch cpus=1 it works fine but without any switches it hangs up after few minutes... ;)

 

What i need to do to get my Intel CORE 2 QUAD Q6600 CPU fully working?

*ABIT S775 NF650I SLI

*MSI GeForce 8600 GT PCI-E 256MB OVERCLOCKED

Look into your bios if there is a function "Max CPUID" . Disable it

Thank you very much Dune now i understand .

Hi!!

 

I have a lot of experience on MacOS X 10.4 on Intel and AMD, but I'm having some trouble with my MacOS X 10.5.1 Kalyway boot.

 

My notebook:

Intel CentrinoDuo (Same as Core2uo T5300), 2Gb of RAM (SODIMM) Intel GMA950, 120Gb of SATA HD.

 

I tryed to install a lot of times. Only 1 time it booted, and when I restarted MacOS X, it does the same thing that other times have done - only an underscore cursor blinking on left top of screen, disk activity (read or write?), and nothing until 8 hours (time that I left the system starting).

 

Anyone can help me with this issue?

 

PS.: I already tried to install on a USB HDD, but nope.

Can anyone with a working Core 2 Quad Q6600 system answer a simple question: Did you need to enter cpus=1 to boot the Kalyway DVD?

 

I do, and I have tried all manner of BIOS settings and kernel boot flags. The only way I can get a working system is to boot the DVD with cpus=1, install the SSE2 system and then boot THAT with cpus=1. When I do this, everything works fine - LAN, USB, QE/CI video, etc.. If I DON"T use cpus=1 I just end up with reboot reboot reboot.

 

Just trying to resolve my cpu issues here. It would be nice to use all 4 cores! ^_^

I have a big problem right now:

I install Vanilla kernel on HD with GUID and EFI GUID. Installer works fine and after reboot Leopard starts loadin but after GFX mode starts I get the message "You need to reboot your computer". I then reboot-ed with "-v" option and I saw that kernel panic has to do with display drivers. (didn't matter if I selected drivers installation in installation options (i did both versions).

 

Does anybody know how could I fix this?

 

Configuration is:

MG: GA945PL-S3 (F6 BIOS)

CPU: E4500

GFX: Sapphari X1650

AUDIO: Realtek ALC883 (onboard)

 

Thanks!

It freaks me out the endless posts about this Kalway's DVD...

 

To the one who says I need an external wireless card for my Acer 5633 can you tell me if any others will work also and how do I install it - do I have to re-install again or update from the packages in the DVD while in Leopard ??

I have same problem... You need to look into your bios if there is a function "Max CPUID" and Intel Virtualization . Disable it

Did that - makes no difference. Neither does Max CPUID Value Limit - Execute Disable Function - Enhanced C1 Control - CPU Internal Thermal Control - Intel Speedstep tech.

 

As I said, I have tried all the BIOS settings. Did you have to enter cpus=1 to get the DVD to boot?

I have a working Q6600 system and I have all 4 cores working and did not need to use cpu=1

As far as I am aware the SSE2 system should not be installed when using a Core processor - I believe it is specifically for older chips where SSE2 was the latest instruction set the chip could follow

Yeah, I know. But it's the only way I can get a working system here. I have to enter cpus=1 to get the DVD to boot. Then I have to install the SSE2 system and THEN use cpus=1 to get that to boot. Doing this I have a perfectly functioning system with USB, LAN, QE/CI video with Radeon HD 2600 PRO card, even the volume up/down buttons on my keyboard work!

 

The fact that I have to enter cpus=1 to even get the DVD to boot tells me it's a BIOS and/or ACPI issue with my system. It's an AMI BIOS on a G33/ICH9 chipset MB, but there are several areas in the BIOS that are greyed out and non changeable - particularly the CPU speed/voltage section so I can't overclock. I'm guessing that only 1 CPU is initialized/working/available (or whatever) at boot time and need to be enabled by the OS at a later point. Vista has no problem with this, but OS X simply chokes unless I enter cpus=1.
