AMD64 w/sse3 -- sse3 not detected?

[jafar]

Hey, all --

 

Installed from the 10.4.4 DVD, and all is fairly well, expect that I notice that OSX is apparently *not* detecting the presence of sse3 on my CPU. Linux and Windows can both see it, though.

 

Furthermore, I tried patching my own mach_kernel as per M's instructions, and I get a dumb, blank stare from an early kernel panic, stating "commpage: no match on last argument". Huh? Others seem to get this with sse3-related issues.

 

So my curiosity is this: are the AMD patches screwing with sse3 detection? Am I stuck using the sse3 emulator? And is anyone else having this problem?

 

edit:

I'm running this on a VIA chipset with a 2.2 ghz Venice Athlon 64.
