I installed iPC succesfully with everything working succesfully.
However i have to run with one core only (boot with -y cpus=1).
If i boot normally the system gives me a kernel panic. :'(
Is there a Dual Core fix of some sort? I've been searching a while but to no success!

I did find that if i booted with, idlehalt=0, i dont see a kernel panic but the system freezes up.
I'm also moving the system to a larger drive, since the partition i was using was only 30gb, see if that helps. Read Leopard uses a lot of VM.
Any other ideas?

What i've learnt so far is, choosing incorrect drivers can be a problem. Its not the best idea.
You want to narrow the problem down as much as possible. Use bare minimum drivers and build it up slowly from there. Add one a time and see if any problems occur.
And it would help if you posted some system specifications?

I moved my system successfully to a larger drive. It took longer to crash the system (Say 35min runnin whilst running firefox this time with idlehalt=0 otherwise it crashes within seconds).
Any more ideas? Im running low =(
