Kernel Panic: Should have 2 threads but only found 3...

[anik]

Hello,

I cannot get SL to boot the first time, shortly after Darwin loads I get a kernel panic message:
'Should have 2 threads but only found 3 for Die...'

Notes:
- I have tried booting with -cpus=1, arch=i386 and -x but with no luck.
- BIOS Settings: AHCI set, ACPI: S3(STR)

Strange, but when i enter the -cpus=1 setting I get exactly the same error message (2 threads but only found 3) as if nothing happened. But if I disable the 2nd core through BIOS, the message changes, and says: 'should have 1 thread but only found 2'! Link:

My Desktop PC setup:
-Intel Pentium Dual Core [email protected]
- Foxconn MB P43A01 with P45/P43 RevA3 chipset
- 2GB RAM DDR2 400MHz
- ATI Radeon HD 4770

Thank you for your help!
Alex

It is not "-cpus=1" it's "cpus=1" - don't know if that helps you...

I get the same problem when I try to boot with a DSDT file containing pstate stuff. If you can rename your DSDT.aml to something else from your USB/DVD boot via terminal, that may get you past it. Later on you can get the DSDT fixed.

Try reboot without safe mode:
-v cpus=1 busratio=20

If that doesn't work, try in safe mode:
-v -x cpus=1 busratio=20

Good Luck
