Mavericks kernel testing on AMD (formerly Mountain Lion kernel testing on AMD)

I have finished the new kernel with full PM support.

In order to use this version of VoodooPState you will also need to install the new kernel and custom System.kext in /S/L/E (uses new rtc_clock_stepped and rtc_clock_stepping functions).

It has no support for Intel i3/i5/i7 decently so I was unable to test it on my Intel rig, however... it did load with those 2 in place.

I also included a new version of VoodooTSCSyncAMD (compiled for Mavericks).

All was compiled by Xcode 5.0.1 (clang 5.0).

Test it please and report back to me :)

Sources are also included... :D

And PM works?

You're able to see and change states with the PStateChanger?

I can change between 4 states

 

and on load see levels of states but how to confirm

 

is there any way to use appleintelpowermanagment for that ?

 

also

blacklist=0

doesn't work with this kernel

AICPUPM can't work on AMD.

The Info tab should provide more info.

Hi 

I've been watching the development over the last few days.... are any of these

test kernels applicable to an older AMD cpu?  I am running Leopard/SL/L and ML

and would like to work on Mav's as well.

This is an AMD Althon X2 . 

Thanks

Hey, Andy!

 

Nice work: will this enable us to get rid of SleepEnabler/AICPUPM/NullCPU? Or it will be still necessary for proper system sleep?

 

All the best!

Make a partition and test it! We would love to hear about the results...

Load still pretty low but frequency is either 100% or 200% Received bad artefacts on the login screen not had them since the first kernel. System doesn't seem and quicker or slower. Temp is lower than it is in Windows lol

 

Edit: CPU Speed lowered :( Went from factory 2.70 to 1.60 GHz

no not really, it's just that this piece of code calls a 'callback' function, presumably back in the kernel, and somehow the link between the two fails to connect. Or something like that.


it might also be a propagation error, whereby a failure in the driver sets in motion a series of failures, up to that dylib which then crashes. who knows

Hi MariusT

 

All I got was a white screen and spinner by replacing GPUSupport.framework (Strange because I normally only get that with my nVidia) and just a plain white screen with a cursor in safe mode.

 

libGPUSupportMercury.dylib (from /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GPUSupport.framework/Versions/A/Libraries) is not in Lion or DP1 of ML, if this is not there in 10.8.4 then there is no QE/CI.

 

I thought it was the libGPUSupportMercury.dylib since it was the only change from Lion.
