mtotho Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 yea this happens on alot of setups, the second core doesnt work. Do as websinister did and boot with cpus=1. When your actually in leopard, so you do not have to do it upon every boot... go into terminal and type "sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist" and where it says <key>Kernel Flags</key> and then a line below it it says <string></string> change that to <string>cpus=1</string> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82761-freeze-or-very-slow-motion-while-installing-kalway-1051/#findComment-587311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gristy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 hi guys, i have same issue cpus=1 works and ive followed a guide to get it installed. however after the big green tick and i click restart, then what? i see you say i need to do cpus=1 again, but how do i do this, as i assume i am not supposed to start the setup from the cd again and i dont seem to get any options just straight into the apple loading screen. without the dvd in i get HFS+ partition error Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82761-freeze-or-very-slow-motion-while-installing-kalway-1051/#findComment-597272 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUID or MBR ( master boot record ) ? 2) Can you see " press any key to enter startup options (5)" when reboot? press a key and you can do the cpus=1 again.
