MSI GE62 6QD Apache Pro (cpus=1)

[RehabMan]

I just realized that slide=0 is self enabling, do you know what that does?

slide=0 is automatically enabled by OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi.
It effectively disables "kernel sliding" (a security feature to randomize the kernel load address).

Another boot hang, this time goes farther but hangs on IODisplayWrangler+ (1), I used slide=0, -v, nv_disable=1 and -x, I did not use the CPUs=1 flag

Another one with similar settings. I used all that were in the last post plus UseKernelCache=no.

No EFI/Clover attached.

I've taken out -x and UseKernelCache, and was able to achieve a login screen but itbis frozen. Unable to login... Mouse doesn't even get detected...

Read post #35.

When I disable the cpussdt in acpi settings in clover I get this (same boot parameters as last boot to login screen). Just read your post as well, I'm not attaching an EFI clover because it will all look the same, I'm doing all changes from the Clover Boot menu.

What kind of mouse are you using? I assume it is a USB mouse....
Did you try it in all ports? (you should expect some USB ports to not work until you configure them correctly...)
No further ideas without EFI/Clover.

Trackpad, and USB Mouse (every port tested) you can't see in the picture but the cursor to the login screen wasn't even blinking, it was just frozen, the whole screen was frozen. The whole system locked up on the boot to login using -v nv_disable=1 and slide=0. I'll submit my Clover config, but it won't reflect any of the changes because I have been changing them from the Clover boot menu, not from the config.plist. USB ports work with cpus=7, but then again the system doesn't lock up when the computer is not using all the cpus. I can use cpus = 1 through 7 and I won't experience a lockup, but when I use 8 or no cpu argument at all, I get a lockup, it just depends where (which boot arguments I use).

I think some research is in order... seems you need to find out whether the cpus flag should include hyperthread cpus or not. Honestly, I don't know what the correct answer is.
