I am going to describe the sequence of events as it may help someone guide me in the right direction. I feel like I am close to getting this. Using the iAtkos V7 10.5.7 distro, I installed the following drivers, including what has already been check marked as default by iAtkos:
iAtkos V7 Main System
Chameleon v2
/Extra directory
DSDT
Disabler
AppleDecrypt
AppleSMBIOS netkas
APIC driver
DVI/DVI (nVidia)
Intel SATA/IDE
Voodoo HDA driver
Realtek R1000
Post-Install Actions
After installation is complete, I tried booting off of the hard drive using the following command: "-v -f" I will then have a kernel panic which displays the following:
Debugger called: <panic>

I then restart the computer and boot off of the hard drive and most of the time I can usually boot right into the OS using one of the following boot flag commands: "-v cpus=1" or "-v cpus=2." This doesn't always work but most of the time in the initial boot (first time ever trying) it does. From here, I have a fully working OS (sound, network, optical, ram, video...etc). The only thing I can see lacking is the number of cores recognized. As noted, I have a quad core but it only recognizes one or two, depending on the boot flag I used during start up (e.g. cpus=1 or cpus=2). All seems well and good until I reboot. Once I reboot, the system will panic again with the same exact panic output described above. At this point, I cannot get back into the OS even with the boot flag commands cpus=1 or cpus=2.
So, my question is two-fold, first, how do I address the panic message posted above? Second, which may be contingent upon the first question, how do I enable 4 cores instead of two?
Help is appreciated. Keep in mind I am a novice with OSx86 so you may have to spell everything out for me.
Thanks

Hey, same system, only with an ATI Radeon 3450 HD, just came in today, using the same exact iAtkos v7 - with some luck so far.

I did notice that you had VoodooHDA installed. I've had this same error, not only in iAtkos, but sometimes in iPC and Kalyway. The retail DVD won't even boot using Boot-132, so I'm left with iAtkos. iAtkos 5i's DVD won't even boot, but v7 does.

Booting parameters: cpus=1 -f -v

It's also of note that I disabled SpeedStep in the BIOS.

The description for VoodooHDA warns that if ACPI is modified, there may be problems with boot - just reboot. I went ahead and unchecked that but installed everything else you did. Guess I just won't have sound, but there are quite a few ALC888 drivers out there to try.

However, I can't seem to get video working either - because there's no driver on iAtkos for the 3450 - but behold - IT BOOTS.

It looks you are using a foreign ACPIFamily.kext from /Extra/Extensions. Maybe thats an old version thats playing up with 10.5.7. I'm not sure why you would need but you could try to remove it from there, you would need to regenerate the Extensions.mkext in \Extra (using kextcache or some GUI tool) or remove it altogether (assuming you have the extensions \Extra\Extensions, depends how iAtkos installed them)
