AMD Dual Core Issue

[Turi]

Hi guys,

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!

iPC 10.5.6 Final, VoodooKernel 9.5.0 and XNU Rev1.0A
AMD Athlon X2 4200+
DFI LANPARTY NF4 Ultra
7800GT QE/CI enabled
Wifi Enabled with TPLINK (AR5424 chipset)

Any help please guys? Any more information i'll provide to the best of my ability!

Thanks

Sam

Any ideas?

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?

For me worked Leo4allv4.1. Leo10.5.4

but itunes, quicktime crash and now itunes does not loads it's shows the window with reload, ignore buttons... Before crash itunes crashed if I loaded mp3 direct from hard drive but if i drag the mp3 it was playing well. could did be because I installed wrong the video driver 9600GSO 384 but has only 320? any idea why>?

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 =(
