welcome to my world, buddy.

and the world of many other "happy" AMD users

i can't remember if you said you tried "idlehalt=0" at darwin prompt. doesn't work for some people, but it works for me. unfortunately, it gives me a 12+ degree increase in CPU temperatures because it doesn't let the CPU idle. bummer, but it's all i've got after weeks and weeks of trying everything and testing for many hours on end. i am currently harassing puttabong and roisoft for some answers as to why their systems work fine and ours don't. it makes no sense.
