Hi All!

 

El capitan installed AMD Athlon II X4 640 processor, has no problem with this green icon

FX-6300 and compared the differences between the X4 640 "sysctl -a"

 

AMD Athlon II X4 640 kernel = "10.11.2-AMD_6"

AMD FX-6300 kernel = "10.11.2-AMD_6AAAB_no_SSEPlus" i think :(

 

The difference is underlined and boxed no AMD X4 640

 

Maybe you can help create new kernel.

The things reporting as 0 mean that they are not ON/exist on the processor.

 

Can someone test if this boots (FX only) please, if it does I suspect that it should have way more artifacts.

Yeah it was a long shot, does this one do the same thing?

 

mtrrV2 - rehash some old Apple code

mtrrV3 - Full PAT support (original PAT edit has support with the lower four entries)

mtrrv4 - No PAT support (which I think will have the same results as mtrr[V1] I posted previously)

Sorry guys!
The machine has slowed down from the previous kernel:
 
mtrrV2 grab login
mtrrV3 and mtrrV4 work, but green icon and Wireless app crashes

Dunno if someone told this before but on the installer GUI all the icons are loading on fx without any green/blue and with the apple logo present just normal.That is happening with all the kernels so maybe it's not a kernel issue and some file from the elcapo installation files can fix the problem ;)

My opinion on that would be that it's down to the installer not using accelerated graphics which means no QE/CI hence no icons.

 

Can you all test this kernel please. Used some of Bronya's old code from previous kernels. This snippet plus more.

//Bronzovka: For artifacts: i fixed here - work or don't work :)))
#define	PATENTRY(n, type)	(type << ((n) * 8))
#define	PAT_UC		0x0ULL
#define	PAT_WC		0x1ULL
#define	PAT_WT		0x4ULL
#define	PAT_WP		0x5ULL
#define	PAT_WB		0x6ULL
#define	PAT_UCMINUS	0x7ULL

Ok so there is still the blue icon problem but the apple logo on the top left appeared for 5 seconds before disapearing (good sign?). 

It is unstable (left click doesn't work sometimes).

 

 

Oops!!! I forgot to change the code when I did mtrrV4

 

Please can someone test.

 

Testing now

 

EDIT: Same green bug

But this is not a graphics bug it's an icon loading bug if u manage to load the icons the artifacts are gone ;) ,besides if you disable QE/CI on an installed system the greens are still there.
