Did Zeph or any of the beta testers figure out why nforce lan crashes with 2 cpus? If so, what was the problem?

Installation went smooth and everything works. However, after the system has been running for a while, I find that the mouse skips a lot, this includes the keyboard in that when I press a key once it repeats that character several times. I…

“I love this release! Everything worked OOTB! Thank you very much, Zeph! You are a star! Only minor annonyance I had was with the Nforce drivers that refused to connect to a PPTP VPN (but no lan freezes). I had the same problem with a set of…”

“I realize that zephyroth is still working on the Rev. 2 and will release it when he is ready, however, I was wondering if us Rev. 1 guys could get the updated Nforce LAN drivers (force-deth) in order to use 2 CPU cores without Leopard freez…”

“[cite] eddie11c:ok just did a fresh install of 10.5.1 and upgraded to 10.5.2 without any issues that I can see. Will have to test out some of the programs to make sure they are working. Will check back in after. Could you please elaborate o…”

“I installed Zeph's 10.5.2 release and they worked fine! However, as reported earlier it refuses to connect to a PPTP VPN. So I bit the bullet and bought a cheapy RTL 8139. I guess that ends my quest to make the Nforce Lan drivers work... Go…”

“It didn't work without EFI and it doesn't work with EFI... Atleast I don't feel silly... Sigh... I guess I will wait for Zeph's latest version after my last effort... boboblack... Can you send me your forcedeth kext? I'd really like to try …”

“Yep... It was the newer kext... The one from damnesiac worked! I have VPN again... Yay! Ok, now back to fixing the freezing issue... Since I have EFI installed now will see if that will fix the issue when I enable both cores... If this work…”

“Ok new problem... Ever since I installed the new kext, my VPN connection refuses to connect... Its stuck on connecting... until it times out... I enabled "verbose logging" and I get the following error message in ppp.log "PPTP didn't get ou…”

“I Installed EFI and used this version ( http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=12933&view=findpost&p=545225 ) of forcedeth (forcedeth.kext not forcedeth-nock.kext) and it works like a charm!”

“I am about to install EFI, however, I wanted to know a few things: 1. I have patched the updates with Marvin's utility will EFI be a problem. 2. I am using NVInject for my GFX card again will EFI be a prob.”

“Oh rite... Silly me... I assumed that the skge.ktext would work with my nforce lan... you can see I am losing my sensibilities with this...:) I have an MSI Platinum (1 LAN port). Can I install EFI over an existing Leo install? Or are we loo…”

“I currently use the cpus=1 fix. However, I was just wondering what ktexts/code/settings/etc were different between Rev 1 and Rev 2 (lan-wise) so that we can zero in on what the problem is. Puttabong could you send me your forcedeth and ione…”

“Thanx lanxx. 2 and 3 are done. am doing 1 right now.”

“I had a similar problem... Turned out to be one of my HDD was faulty... Took me sometime to figure it out though... HTH”

“Thanx damnesiac! Will try now...”

“Thanx Puttabong... Will try skge and EFI...”
