mcsmart Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have a Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor and Mac OS X 10.5.2 (with PCEFI v8) installed on my machine (check my signature). In 10.5.1 (without EFI) System Profiler correctly displayed "Total number of cores: 2". Now in 10.5.2 with EFI System Profiler only shows: Hardware Overview: Model Name: Mac Model Identifier: To Be Filled By O.E.M. Processor Name: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz Total Number Of Cores: 1 L2 Cache: 512 KB CPU Features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 HTT SSE3 CX16 Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 200 MHz Boot ROM Version: Hack.88Z.int.0sh.061193*** (American Megatrends Inc.) Serial Number: YM8659M6*** Is this just a cosmetic problem like the "To Be Filled By O.E.M." or could it cause any problems? Will both cores be used? I've installed procfs and it shows 2 CPUs: dk:proc foobar$ cd /proc/system/hardware/cpus/ dk:cpus foobar$ ls 0 1 dk:cpus foobar$ cat 0/data slot 0 (master), running type 7, subtype 4 40030 ticks (user 1111 system 776 idle 38143 nice 0) cpu uptime 0h 6m 40s dk:cpus foobar$ cat 1/data slot 1, running type 7, subtype 4 40264 ticks (user 992 system 748 idle 38524 nice 0) cpu uptime 0h 6m 42s I do not have any kernel flags in com.apple.Boot.plist . Regards, mcsmart PS: If anybody knows how to get rid of the "To Be Filled By O.E.M." it would not be bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsmart Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 I just updated my Zepyroth 10.5.2 to 10.5.4 and installed the 9.4.0 StageXNU kernel. This kernel fixes the problem, now two CPU cores are being reported by Systemprofiler. BTW: With StageXNU 9.4.0 I also got sleep to work on my machine. - mcsmart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
