Description

When building with osx-packager configure reports that the cpu is not correctly detected on dual 2.8GHz quad code mac pro (10.5.2). Here is the output of hostinfo

Mach kernel version:

Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.0: Tue Feb 5 16:13:22 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.3.13~1/RELEASE_I386

Kernel configured for up to 8 processors. 8 processors are physically available. 8 processors are logically available. Processor type: i486 (Intel 80486) Processors active: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Primary memory available: 2.00 gigabytes Default processor set: 80 tasks, 424 threads, 8 processors Load average: 0.33, Mach factor: 7.66

I will attach the output of osx-packager --verbose

I thought [16196] would have fixed this.
What do '/usr/sbin/sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string' and '/usr/sbin/sysctl -n machdep.cpu.features' report?

Thanks John. [16378] should contain the fix. If there are still problems, reopen with new osx-packager verbose output

comment:4 Changed 16 years ago by Doug Goldstein <cardoe@…>

Intel Xeon's are not k8 based processors. k8 processors are AMD CPUs. nocona would be the proper march for Intel 64 bit CPUs. k8 on an Intel will actually lead to segfaults in a few edge cases due to differences in two of the instructions between amd64 and em64t. Also the comment in the commit that the 32 bit version of this CPU would be pentium4 is also incorrect since the proper march for this CPU is prescott.
