//Zztony Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi, I have a Dell Precision Workstation T7500 with 2 Quad-Core 'westmere' Xeon [email protected] and 12GB ECC RAM installed. I got it up&running very smoothly with unifail - Install 10.8.2 - multifail = OK!BUT, It seems impossible for me to even boot OSX with both CPU's installed, I've tried any version.(tried 10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x/10.8.x)What do I need to do to boot this system with both CPU's installed?KP error and instant reboot every time, very hard to be quick enough to record or take a pic of it.....Any ideas or suggestions?Cheers//Zztony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMick Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Nice system! If you could add me on Skype, (royal_noob3), we could have a look! I think it is something with DSDT patching we need. Could you make a clean install with myHack (10.8.2) (http://myhack.sojugarden.com), that is the install method we recommend. When we are working on it, we will make a topic with progress information (for other people) and add it to EDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not possible to nothing with 2cpu's installed, but I have a clean install based on unifail/Easybeast with only cpu installed that work just fine. It's not as easy to get a clean install with myHack unfortunately.... Thanks//Zztony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
//Zztony Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 This a photo of a USB boot from the older i.P.o.r.t.a.b.l.e (10.0.0) with the default 'chocolate' kernel, at least it stopped when it KP so I was able to take a pic of it.

iMick Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Could you please run Darwin Dumper (http://www.osx86.net/view/3369-darwin_dumper_2.4.9.html) and upload the files. I will have a look at your DSDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 2, 2012 Administrators Share Posted December 2, 2012 have you tried the kernel patcher. dylib module that was released with chameleon official release? http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/downloads/ it goes in the Extra/modules folder. you can also test with cpus=8 or whatever amount of cores you have in your rig.

iMick Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 How about your BIOS settings? Could you set the bios to AHCI, Plug-Play OS to YES. I am working on a DSDT and new extra folder, but it is a pity.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMick Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Could you try this Extra folder? Put it in your root, and delete the old Extra folder. Remove VoodooHDA.kext out of /System/Library/Extensions Move all the extensions of /Extra/Extensions to /S/L/E (because you use stupid unifail). Fix permissions.
