Hi there,
So, I'm going a little bit crazy... I've successfully installed 10.6.2, and it's working great, except that in the 'about this mac' more info box, it says Number of Processors = 1 and Total Number Of Cores = 4
I'm booting with the cpus=1 flag. So, I'm trying to get it to see all 8 cores. I've patched the DSDT, removing the aliases for the processors (there were 8).
I can't seem to get away from this behaviour; whenever I start without the cpus=1 flag, the OS is ridiculously sluggish - it works, just, but it's so slow. Here's the weird part, if I wait long enough for the more info box, when booting without cpus=1, I still see processors = 1 and cores = 4!
I've placed the DSDT in the root, then tried in the extras folder as well... played with bios settings, but can't get it to run smoothly
It works so well with the cpus=1 flag, but so badly without, and it still doesn't see my full processor!
My mobo is an MSI x58 Eclipse, with 12gb RAM. I have an i7 950 3.02ghz CPU
Does anyone have any ideas to get my processor fully working?
