lazybon3 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 There is an Application on this Forum called "About This Mac" What it does: It kind of reads the CPU-Tag directly from the CPU and injects it into a file for unknown CPUs. So the Tag "unknown CPU" get overwritten with the name your CPU offers. If this tool alone doesn't work for you, you need to use CPUInjector.kext and edit the <dict> <key>cpu-type</key> <data>AQM=</data> </dict> I used AMD=, but it doesnt really matter what you type in there as long as it is an unsupported value. So here are the links for the tools i used to change my CPU-Tag: CPUInjector.kext About This Mac This is just a quick and dirty way to show the right CPU Tag, worked pretty good for my AMD Systems gl Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247022-cpu-name-problem/#findComment-1639379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazybon3 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Maybe your Bootloader (Chameleon) already sets the CPU Name. You could try a different Version of Chameleon. gl Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247022-cpu-name-problem/#findComment-1640264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
