Little problems with Phenom, voodoo, Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3
Hello guys,
I'm booting a vanilla install with the EFI partition on a Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 board and a Phenom cpu using the Voodoo kernel. Almost everything is working perfectly and even did the 10.5.6 update without nothing to worry about. But I have a tiny problem with the shutdown on this mobo(I used to have a MSI K9A2 which didn't have that problem). It just says that it safe to turn it off from the button. If someone is using a similar mobo, please share your experience. The other little problem i s that my CPU speed isn't shown correctly. In the About This Mac it says 4.3GHz Unknown, in the system profiler it says 18.63GHz, and Geekbench shows "AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core @ 719 THz (4 cores)" !!! ![]() Thanks.

@LawlessPPC - I can't find anything in the BIOS which could be related...
@nexusmac - for me it was the same with 10.5.4. It should be some kext which I'm missing. Lawless, do you see the correct speed on your computer?

Seawane, in BIOS look for power saving options, enable advanced mode or enable some of them (like if you don't want that system spins down HDD u could set it to never, thus it will be not disabled as an option).
