Kilopopo Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 How do i get kalyway to not crash when 4 cores are enabled? when i boot with no flags meaning when i boot with 4 cores enabled leopard crashes while booting and after some time loging in. is there a way for leopard to use all 4 cores without crashing? no kernel panics?

lord_muad_dib Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 watch activity monitor, you should see one graph per core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilopopo Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 It just as one chart for 1 cpu but i have q6600 quadcore and leopard does recognize it but it crashes when i have multicores enabled how do i enable 4 cores without leopard crashing?

Headrush69 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Which kernels are you using? Is speedstep enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcaen Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Have any more hardware information? I run a Q6600 fine with all cores enabled. Definitely disable speedstep though as mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToH and Kalyway You can disable speedstep in your MB's BIOS, just press 'Del' at startup and find speedstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilopopo Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 speedstep is disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedogmike Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Kilopopo, I have same issue with a Core 2 Duo and a P5NSLI board, it has something to do with the newer kernel, (9.0 +). Jas 10.4.8 runs great right out of the box with same bios settings. I read the nVidia chipset are notorious for this problem with the cpu management with newer kernel. I'd like to figure it out also.

Wizkid4590 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Enable Executive Bit (force XD flag to 0) in your bios than 4 cores are working. I've got the same problem when this is disabled with my q6600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muitommy Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 hey, what bus are you guys using? sata or pata? i think that matters much. something went wrong for the failure to bless the partition .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizkid4590 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I need to use flag cpus=1 when this bios feature is disabled but when enabled i can use 4 cores (no flags). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticus C* Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=69353 check my topic for nforce mobos, i have kernels for nforce.... thanx to Kabyl and ChaOSX86 channel... cpus=1 is require on all 10.4.9+ up to today, bcoz apple is using new scheduler in kernel that is responsible from the kernel panics!!! so u need a kernel with old scheduler built in check my topic... never forget chown -R 0:0 mach_kernel chmod -R 644 mach_kernel yeah 644 for kernels 755 for kexts... 0:0 is for root:wheel easy trust me it is same as root:wheel 0:0 (zero:zero) cheers...

naddy69 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 None of the BIOS settings make a difference for me. I need cpus=1 no matter what I change in the BIOS. This is an Intel G33 Express/ICH9 chipset MB. No IDE, all SATA-2. Installing SSE2 system and using cpus=1 is the only way I can get a working system. Everything works fine - LAN, audio, all 10 USB ports, full QE/CI video on Radeon HD 2600 Pro and all software I've installed runs fine. Just 1 cpu is working!

The Kalyway install has the ICH9 chipset driver built in. Just need a SATA DVD drive or other means to install it (USB drive, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meecrob87 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I am having the same problem with the Q6600, but I use a G33 chipset. I have tried countless combinations of BIOS settings kernels and extensions but it still panics on me. Has anyone found a solution that works for enabling all 4 cores? I'm trying out that nforce kernel now, but i still get panics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustafasbeats Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Have any more hardware information? I run a Q6600 fine with all cores enabled. Definitely disable speedstep though as mentioned above. How do you get Kalyway (Leopard) to boot up with out haveing to have the disc in there everytime I want to boot up my system. Its not that much of a problem its just an inconvenience. Its running incredibly smooth just don't have no support for my USB wireless card and my onboard audio is not working as well. But those arent a problem because I use the Mbox and audio is fine but I need a Wireless card that is compatible. But that one issue with booting with the disc in the drive if I can get it to boot without it that would be super. I am having the same problem with the Q6600, but I use a G33 chipset. I have tried countless combinations of BIOS settings kernels and extensions but it still panics on me. Has anyone found a solution that works for enabling all 4 cores? I'm trying out that nforce kernel now, but i still get panics. All 4 of my cores work on my install I am running Quad core Q6600, Gigabit Ds3l, 2GB DDR2 5300, 100 GB WD HD. When I run Protools and I go to setup it shows that it is running off all 4 cores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
