Kenjee Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 First of all, complete noob but managed to do it with help of numeros posts on this forum. So Thnx. Specs: CPU: Q6600 MB: MSI P965 NEO2 FI (not neo v2, this is with AMI Bios) Mem: 2x1GB Transcend Jet-ram 800 HD: WD 320GB SATA DVD Rom on Ata to USB converter. Zotac GF 7300GT 256 OK Kalyway 10.5.1 1. First, DVD boot only with externall DVD Drive on USB. 2. Install DVD boots only with CPUS=1 ! 3. MBR partition and then in terminal "FDISK -e /dev/rdisk0" then "f 1" to make Partition active. "write" and "exit" 3. Vanilla and fix, Azalia for sound, Natit for gf7300 GT, network working out of the box, MBR and MBR Efi 4. Install Successful. Reboot and I got: "Using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer" and stop 5. Got AppleACPIPlatform.kext, AppleAPIC.kext, AppleSMBIOS.kext from 10.4.8 and copied them to my /volumes/<bla bla>/System/Library/Extensions (all this in Terminal from booted DVD) 6. Success! System is working perfectly but only one thing, Ffffu......$%$# CPUS=1 I can`t boot without CPUS=1 and that gives me only one core in OS X So, it is possible with this {censored} of motherboard. Did anyone managed to solve the CPUS=1 booting? How? Or if not, we can be furious together and Thnx Kaly Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88071-q6600-cpus1-and-other/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

wahwahman89 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 On a DS3R mobo running the same chip as yours, I boot flawlessly. Also try iATKOS or redownload Kalyway - that might be it. I use Kalyway EFI, amazing performance... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88071-q6600-cpus1-and-other/#findComment-628596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirina750 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 My Q6600 works well with Kaly and iAtkos, Kaly takes way longer that iAtkos to start but both work. Try iAtkos Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88071-q6600-cpus1-and-other/#findComment-628675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenjee Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 I don`t think that DS3R is the same because mine is P965 and ICH8, yours have P35 and ICH9R. I`ll give it a try with iATKOS. Can you tell me what revision to look for? Did Kaly distro change anything, I didn`t notice.

c0rk007hck Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm running on the same mainboard as yours, but Kalyway doesn't work. I use all the 4 cpus of my q6600 with iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5, iDeneb works fine P.S. iDeneb has a very fast torrent via The Pirate Bay (Ca 2 hours) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88071-q6600-cpus1-and-other/#findComment-944747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
