I've checked this in a Mac Pro DSDT dump...
Apple starts CPU entries from 0 rather than 1.
Hereby the CPU count is probably misdetected etc...
Try modding your DSDT and let me know
This will also fix your IOService node in IORegistry btw
I have no idea why a n00b advise other n00b w/o to RTFM!
If you bother to read ACPI specs then look on APIC table you will find that what you "advised" is total crap, and the unlucky one who try what you said will find out that it has a nice panic on boot...
Unless APIC table is not fixed to match DSDT computer will fail to boot the OS:
Code:
