David Anon Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have an ECS G31T-M motherboard, the hardware compatability test says that for Tiger, it didn't work no matter what. Well in Leopard it works but only with cpus=1. I have installed through Kalyway 10.5.1 with boot command cpus=1 it also only worked for me when I used EFI, Vanilla, and the GUID partitioning method. Although sound has still not worked for this motherboard and I can't find kexts for the soundcard on the ECS G31T-M. The main problem is that when booting with cpus=1, installing with cpus=1, and then post installation booting with cpus=1, you only get 1 core working. I double-checked this in the system moniter. If anyone has any solution to this problem please post reply. I have done my homework and searched about 200 forum topics, sorry if this was already cleared up, I haven't found it yet. Also if anyone does have this motherboard, and installed using Kalyway, please post a way to fix the sound. I had to go back to Windows now that school has started but I wish to dual boot using GUID, possibly bootcamp if someone figures that one out. Basically everything else works. Many problems are fixed with booting through a combination of -x -v -f and cpus=1 -legacy= doesn't do anything -vanilla= restarts Also a personal reply to my e-mail would be much appreciated dvd_bang@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykalanui Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Same problem here! tried leo4allV3, with IDE DVD and SATA HD. Boot from DVD only with cpus=1 At 1st restart it looped at boot, fixed this by disabling APIC in bios. Then account creation loop. fixed with /sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw / ./options (from http://osx86leo4all.wikidot.com/known-issues) voilà! Leo boots. (About this Mac saying: 1 core! how can this be? only typed the command at 1st dvd-boot. At least now i know that my intel 6750 really only ran with one core... thanks to david) My problem now is, i wanted to try other kernels with fresh install, but now i always get stuck at 1st boot. any clues? just so you know, david, someone's in the same boat... cheers, myke update: flashed bios to latest version. now i can avoid cpus=1 by disabling apic in bios. still only one core recognized in about-this-mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
