Quad Core Anyone?
I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (2.83GHz)
and every time I boot up, I have to type "cpus=1" I know there is a fix that would type this for me, but I would like to get all four cores working. This should be a very compatible processor, but I don't know how to get the cores working.

What happens when you don't enter that flag?

So...
Download Chameleon v2 and install it.
Browse to /Extra and mod the "Kernel Flags" in com.apple.Boot.plist so that cpus=4 is entered in the Kernel Flags string. Download AnV XNU 1.4 Kernel. *Supports a Quad Core* Should work My Specs  System: Custom Built Mobo: ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 OS:Mac OS X MountainLion 10.8.2 & Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k @ 4.2GHz Memory: 16GB DDR3 XMS3 1600MHz Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB Email/Gtalk: [email protected]

okay, here is the rundown :P
I have been booting from my install disk, because darwin wouldn't work, then someone told me that chameleon would work, but then I realized it doesn't have the option to type cpus=1. And when I go to /Extra, I try to save the edited strings, but it says I don't have authority to change it. Also the only thing I could find for the AnX XNU 1.4 is a .stix (?) and I'm not sure how to use that thank you soo much for helping, though SportsGuy Dell Studio Desktop 540 Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83 GHz Q9550 (All cores work) EVGA nVidia GeForce 9500 GT (1GB) (Works) M-Audio Fast Track Ultra Sound (Works) Realtek Ethernet (Works) 8 GB DDR2 RAM (Of course works) 24" Dell 1920x1080 16:9 Monitor Tri Boot with Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (64-bit) and Vista (64-bit) and Linux Mint

Hi sports guy. i also have a quad core. to get working you need to change your bios settings, i had like the same exact problem onetime what you need to do is set your bios. follow this link they tell you how to set it up. i did that and it worked.

the kernel didn't work... It just does this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96P82QxpTM0
It doesn't work from Chameleon 2 or the installation dvd edit: so when I don't put cpus=1, it reboots quickly after, as in the video 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
