Grunt0r Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I just finished installing Kalyway on my Dell D820 and it's super super slow when trying to do anything in OSX. I installed Leopard 10.5.1 and I'm wondering if I'm missing a step or something. My Dell is a D820 1.83 core 2 duo with 2gig ram and an nvidia quadro NVS 110m 128mb. Does anyone have any suggestions?

leejames04 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 How big is your hardrive and how much is free on it. The hardrive can sometimes slow down the computer. Thats why I ordered a new one as my 20GB is too small anyway but there is only 3GB left Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85861-kalyway-install-problem-on-a-dell/#findComment-609276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt0r Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 it's a dedicated 100gig Sata laptop drive. Are there settings in the bios I must change as I look and it didn't look like i could change much on the cpu side of things in there.

Alex7575 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 You need to disable one of your cpus. add cpus=1 as a boot parameter. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85861-kalyway-install-problem-on-a-dell/#findComment-609851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt0r Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 You need to disable one of your cpus. add cpus=1 as a boot parameter. Dumb question but is that at the darwin boot loader?

Alex7575 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 That's not a dumb question... And the answer is yes... There seems to be a problem with some hackintoshes with dual cores another alternative is to go to bios and disable multiple cores... Did this help you?

Grunt0r Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ok just did it and it works great. My only problem is no sound from my soundcard and i don't think my ethernet port is working. Any suggestions? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85861-kalyway-install-problem-on-a-dell/#findComment-610315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex7575 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 for your video card do a search for 7300go (=nvm110), not sure what audio card you got.

Grunt0r Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 my video card is great but my sound card is a sigmatel stac 92xx C-Major HD audio and my internal nic is a broadcom 57xx gigabit integrated nic. How can I prevent having to enter cpus=1 everytime I boot the computer? and as for power management is there anything I have to do?

Alex7575 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I don't think ethernet will work, you have a 10/100/1000 card right? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85861-kalyway-install-problem-on-a-dell/#findComment-610356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex7575 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 For the sigmatel, do a search for 9300, that laptop has the same card i believe, there's a sigmatel9200.kext or something like that. As for the cpus=1, so a search for com.apple.Boot.plist and a post with instructions on how to do it, should come back...

Grunt0r Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 so i've been trying to find a post on the cpus=1 add in and can't find it.

Why J? Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 so i've been trying to find a post on the cpus=1 add in and can't find it. You can disable the dual core in the BIOS. I am trying right now to install 10.5.2 on my d820, what customize options did you choose? Drivers? kernel? Also how did you format the HDD. Thanks.

icuhackn Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Gruntr, I am curious as to what Kalyway ISO you used to run this installation. I tried to use the Kalyway 10.5.1 SSE2 SSE3. It gets through most of the install and at about 6 minutes to go, it just stops and displays the failed installation or just reboots. I have disabled the second core in Bios, turned off the wireless/bluetooth switch on the side, etc. to see if any of those are causing; however, it still fails. I have also tried with GUID and MBR; both fail. My setup is very similar to yours except I have 4G of memory, 100G SATA drive, and 2.0Ghz core 2 duo.... Any ideas?

icuhackn Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Ok, so I got it to do a successful installation using no SSE2, MBR, etc. However, now I just cant get it to boot. If I boot from DVD, F8 and -s, it runs through and ends up stopping with a timing issue. Any ideas to fix the boot issue? Thanks!
