Right, this morning(7hrs ago) I disabled the spread spectrum in my bios and booted with the -legacy flag.
To test I opened Firefox, every CS3 application and started playing a 4.3gb wmv-hd file. I've just got home and all apps had quit on me. I had to logout and back in again because I was getting the -10810 error. Oh well back to the drawing board.... Days logs are below: Code:
23/06/2008 10:15:46 com.apple.launchd[147] ([0x0-0x19019].org.mozilla.firefox[208]) Exited with exit code: 3 |
Have you tested a second time? I'm not sure that these erros are because of the BIOS setting and the -legacy flag. Man, I'm working with Logic and it works! Only Firefox seems to crash the system sometimes.

No these are the errors I get normally when running both cores - basically there was no change after making the amends to the com.apple.boot.plist and bios. I really think changing my mobo is the only solution for the time being (or sticking with cpus=1).
|
Even after two hours of uptime with the -legacy flag I got the dreaded -10810 error. Back to cpus=1 ...
|
when do you get this error?

Hi All
I was having the mouse bug and random crashes particularly with transmission but also Quicktime and Safari and also apparently I was getting random restarts as well. I tried a few different things but the kernel flags notsc=1 and nohpet=1 seem to be doing the trick. My system has been stable now for 2 days with only 1 safari crash. Before I was lucky to get 3 hours out of it. The cpus=1 did the trick as well, but if I can be stable and dual-core, I'll take it.

What do those kernel flags do?
|
It is my understanding that notsc flag keeps the kernel from checking the time stamp counters on the cores of the cpu. AMD time stamp counters have a tendency to drift apart from one another, so it can cause strange crashes. I did the nohpet flag because I wasn't sure if I had hpet.

uptime just passed 62 hours, stable as a rock w/ dual core enabled. I think we may have a winner.

Amazing News!
I can't wait for Voyn1x and Rogue to confirm that it works - I hope. Thanks ClawHammer. :-) |
