Re: G5 dually but only one processor shows up on sys prof
In all seriousness, if someone knows the answer to this, I would love to hear it. I have a similar situation happening right now on my Cube whose processor I upgraded from 400MHz to 1.8GHz, and it's showing up as 0Hz in System Profiler. This is on a 10.5 Server formatted disk, by the way; on the 10.3 disk I had in there, it was showing up properly. I am temporarily using my trusty old Cube as a home server while my MDD is down and being repaired. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I've only run across it in the context of making Hackintoshes, and upon reflection, it may be an EFI thing, meaning it's not applicable to PPC macs. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

If you are not experiencing any problems then it may be a simple glitch from System profiler. If you go into Activity Monitor and see that the processor bar graph only has a single bar then one CPU is probably dead. Two bars and everythings OK - just not reported correctly by SP. This used to happen when users upgraded from OS9 to OSX and upgraded the CPU to a Sonnet or similar too . OS9 would show the full CPU speed and whether dual or single whereas OSX wouldn't ( or is it the other way round - I can't remember ). Stewie _ View photos of singles in your area!

Just thought of something else. Doesn't each processor daughtercard in a G5 have a separate power connection unlike the G4 series? Maybe one of the connections is not working or not receiving power from the PSU. Maybe worth testing.
