Crash on Menu and other errors

[wyatt]

I have loaded:

• VirtualSMC.kext
• AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext
• SMCAMDProcessor.kext
  in that order and in OpenCore logs it gives this error:
  "00:000 00:000 OC: Prelink injection SMCAMDProcessor.kext () - Invalid Parameter"

The AMD Power Gadget seems to show correct frequency, temp. and power graphs however when clicking on the menu icon, the whole system freezes and has to be unplugged.

I am running High Sierra 10.13.6, Open Core 0.5.7 and all the latest Kexts. My CPU is a Ryzen 3 1200.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Hi @profwyattb, for your first question, this is not an error related to this software. Just double check your config is correct.

For your second problem, what menu icon are you referring? I don’t think the app have an menu icon.

On clicking the three black bars, the computer freezes

This is a log of the crash

[trulyspinach]

Thanks for the information :).
Does it happens after you wake up your system from sleep?

[wyatt]

It happens no matter what. Even when my computer hasn't "slept" it still crashes

[kokowski]

I've got the same problem in Catalina 10.15.4. The system freezes by clicking on the menu-button of the Power Gadget.

[trulyspinach]

This problem is already fixed in the latest commit. But I haven't publish a release yet. In the mean time you can try to compile from the latest source code :)

A new release will be coming soon.

[kokowski]

Would you please give me the instructions how to compile your project?

[kokowski]

Hello @trulyspinach
i've tried to compile from the latest source code, but without success. :( Would you please help me?

[trulyspinach]

@kokowski Did you just compiled the application itself?
You need to recompile the kext and load the new kext :) But anyway I will publish a new release tonight with this fix.

[kokowski]

@trulyspinach Yes, ive tried it, but my result always was, that only the Power Gadget had been compiled. I've posted my problem in this thread: https://forum.amd-osx.com/index.php?threads/smcamdprocessor-kext.7/

[trulyspinach]

To compile the kext you need to have Lilu.kext present at the root folder of Xcode project(same where that project bundle exists).

[kokowski]

@trulyspinach Would you please post a screenshot? I've tried this, too, but without success.

[trulyspinach]

@kokowski can you try the latest release and see if it fixes the problem? Thanks

[kokowski]

@trulyspinach Thanky you very much! It's working fine now - no freezes anymore.

EDIT: Oh, i see there's still one problem: when i close the gadget by clicking the cross, the gadget won't show up again, when clicking it. You have to close it completely and restart it.

[kokowski]

look at my edit, please @trulyspinach
