Topic: "Bad CPU Type" - Multiface II + 9632

I'm getting that message (finally checked the console) on my Mac G5 running 10.5.8.

After that it respawns. I've tried reinstalling...no luck.


Appreciate any help.

THanks,
Shaun

When exactly does this occur? Does it affect operation in any way?

It happens every 10 seconds or so and yes, it's affecting the system performance. Here's what repeats over and over:

6/29/10 6:25:58 PM com.apple.launchd[147] (de.rme-audio.hdspAgent[10397]) posix_spawnp("/System/Library/Extensions/HDSPMADI.kext/Contents/MacOS/hdspAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/hdspAgent", ...): Bad CPU type in executable

6/29/10 6:24:18 PM com.apple.launchd[147] (de.rme-audio.hdspAgent) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

And you use what driver?

Re: "Bad CPU Type" - Multiface II + 9632

version 267 (10.4.8 or up, not 10.6), I'm on 10.5.8.

Thanks guys - I appreciate the quick responses, but not the win over England smile

BTW> I have it connected to my Octamic (D) via an adat/optical cable.

...and maybe it's my imagination, but I think I'm hearing crackles. Not every 10 seconds, but perhaps when a transient is coincident with a respawn.

Re: "Bad CPU Type" - Multiface II + 9632

You use a Mac computer with PPC CPU with a driver intended for use with Intel CPU? That can not work...

The latest PPC driver had been 1.6 or so...see driver archive.

Well, I'll look again, but version 267 is labelled "(10.4.8 or up, not 10.6)", so is that correct?

Thanks,

It's not about the OSX version, it's about the CPU in your Mac, which seems to be a PPC, not an Intel Mac...

Yeah, the description was confusing.

I removed everything and reinstalled 1.6_c and all is well.

Re: "Bad CPU Type" - Multiface II + 9632

Vie gates?

Oh, and just to help out a bit, the RME Intel installer put a driver in /Library/System/LaunchAgents and /Library/System/LaunchDaemons that wasn't removed when I did finally get the correct driver - causing some confusion. At that point, I had the correct driver but was still getting an error on the console.

Cheers,
Shaun
