ChrisLKirby Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Installed AMD 10.4.7 Update. Everything seems to run ok, and faster (now that SSE3 is actually detected) BUT when i go to "About this Mac" OSX crashes, Finder shuts down, and it reloads. When i go into Utilities-->System Profiler it says "There was an error while gathering this information" Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have this problem with 10.4.5 but after patching it went away, I would asume that your issue will go away soon as a new patch is released.

anjr00 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I've been having this issue with 10.4.6 on my AMD64 system. It only happens when I load the forcedeth kext into the kernel however. Must be a problem with running a third-party kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Schwartz Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I've been having this issue with 10.4.6 on my AMD64 system. It only happens when I load the forcedeth kext into the kernel however. Must be a problem with running a third-party kext. Ditto. If I unload forcedeth.kext and then run it, it's fine. After I reload it, About this Mac crashes the GUI again. Strange, but who cares... my ethernet card works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genix Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 How exactly did you upgrade to 10.4.7? I'm thinking about doing the upgrade but am a little nervous I will screw up my install. Is it as easy as running the AMD 10.4.7 installer and that's it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegooo Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 10.4.7 jas install seems to miss some amd cpu id with maxxus amd_enabler. Should be enough to run the amd_enabler from maxxuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaacc Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Same issue here with the JAS 10.4.7 repack. The AMD_enabler doesn't work again and stops with an error message. Probably because the file was patched already during installation? I'm reverting back to the 10.4.6 JAS version now to see if this one works.

me@home Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Well had the same error with 10.4.7 Jas repack iso but then in Deutsch told me a nice person, when install only choose "AMD combo update + Ati if you need".... now I can get to about this mac...when I click on more info then it first says error during gathering information but shows all infos only the computer one is missing. is there a sort of cpu-z for mac to check the configuration ?

mmaacc Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yep, saw the german thread. It was about not selecting AMD Enabler but the option is not there in JaS 10.4.7. Installing using this also results in only SSE2. I tried again with the older 10.4.6 and this works, detects SSE3 and doesn't crash. I think the info you'll get in MacOS is not reliable as long as you have the correct patched OS. The A64 venice showed up as SSE2 using JaS 10.4.7 which is wrong, under 10.4.6 however it's correctly recognized as SSE3. Better use Windows or check your CPU capabilities in the web.
