aww, i was hoping that wasn't the case. thanks for clarifying

damn. any idea of why cpus=2 worked for several hours and not all the time?

just keep trying to boot with it. It will eventually work. Im not sure about what happend before though.. power outage?

what makes you think it will eventually work?

Is cpus=2 burning anything into the cpu, creating new files, modifying files while it is enabled? Or something else besides just setting a force instruction for 2 cores enabled?

no idea but im pretty sure using the flag has never damaged anybodys comp before.

so i booted back into osx with cpus=2 again

this boot there is no bug, and istat shows 2 cores working.

I'll let you know how it goes. Also, is there any sort of event log so if/when it does crash I can see what messages were given by system as warning before the shit hit the fan?

cpus=2 worked again on second reboot.

For some reason, without reason it just decides to have the dual core timing bug every once in a while. I can get days and multiple boots working fine with cpus=1, cpus=2 and no flag at all. Last run I didn't install anything, nothing was changed... Then I boot up today and the bug is there, and it dosn't go away when i boot with cpus=1, the dual core timing bug happens even with one core.. I wonder what could be making that happen...


so i switch kernels to qoopz and it worked again. I feel like I am playing musical chairs, with no chairs or music :(
