Blank processor name in About This System

[j_freeman]

The processor is blank in "About This System" under VMware. It used to say something like "AMD Athlon X2".

Tested with hrev24635 on VMware Workstation. Not a problem under real hardware (Athlon XP).

Update: This seems to also occur on real hardware with an Athlon 64.

And that only happened recently? What does "Pulse" say? And "sysinfo"? Can you give the exact model/stepping of your CPU?

[j_freeman]

I've only noticed it once before, and that was recently (in the last week). The CPU model is "ADA4200CUBOX". It's a 2.2GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 (dual core) Windsor.

Output of "sysinfo"

Reassigned to BGA by request (he broke it).

Same problem here, sysinfo:

Not compiled, not tested patch that might resolve the problem

I haven't set up a system that can compile Haiku yet, therefore the changes as described in haiku_cputype_ticket1979.diff haven't been compiled or tested yet.

Hey v.

Thanks for looking into this. You seem to have reached the same conclusion I did (AMDs should not use extended information for now). At first the patch looks ok. I will apply it later today and check if it works with my Core 2 Extreme. Then I will wait for Rene to check if it also works with his AMD 64. If everything seems all right, I will commit it. What is your name anyway? So I can credit you on the commit message.

You may credit me as "Hervé W."

[anevilyak]

Confirmed that this patch fixes it here, everything now identifies it as an Athlon64 again as it should.

Thanks!

[j_freeman]

Tested the patch on two machines, and they're identified again. Thanks Hervé!

Fixed on hrev24958.
