Hi Sinetek, wonderful to know that you've released the first AMD-test-kernel for maverick,  I will tonight when I'm at home, test it with my prepared external HDD  and will report my results. This is very good news, no matter what first test results are obtained, which the main thing that lives on the development. :thumbsup_anim:

  • Sinetek do not worry about of the many kernel-testers, we are hotter than New Year's  2012/13 than it came to Mountain Lion AMD kernel :D

  • the first test was without success, I will now test your second kernel :wink_anim:

there are so many possible issues. let's try some fixes.

second test: only with boot flag:-nossse3 gray screen (in the background load the kexts) shortly thereafter for a fraction of a second to see the gray apple, then restart

I have tried almost everything, unfortunately no success, no kernel panic message. the system re-starts only.

@bronya   да))  no sources.. so difficult. it bombs in cpu_thread_alloc.

 

maybe AMD crashes sooner??? MSR's.......

NO . it is cpuid.

 

 

it is cpu number in cupid_set_info . 

you see :

 

for  intel :

cpuid_fn(0, cpuid_result);

 

info_p->cpuid_cores_per_package 

= bitfield32(reg[eax], 3126) + 1;

 

for amd :

cpuid_fn(0x80000008, cpuid_result);

info_p->cpuid_cores_per_package 

= (ecx & 0xff) + 1;

 

I checked - don't working single user .

@bronya   weird, it's the first i hear of that.   CPUID function 0 is valid on AMD 

:D

amd don't support "cupid function" 0 for "cpu number" ))))  support only 0x80000008 )

 

sinetek, you can speak to me how used qemu with "terminal gdb" ? i try if have time ...
