This is what I had originally:

 

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

And is it supposed to be like this?

 

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=x86_64</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

Sorry if this is a stupid question lol but i do appreciate the help.

OK, so I downlpaded and installed it.

Still can't boot with -x64 and now Airport (Broadcom bcm43xx) is now broken no matter what I can do to reinstall the particular kext. It just does not show up. Another funny thing is before, the 10A394 update showed up Library/Updates but now 10A402 wipes out everything in that folder.

How do I uninstall this 10A402?

The best option would be to restore from the backup you made before updating, which I am sure that you did not do. :thumbsdown_anim:...

Ok, so I'm on a Macbookpro 4,1 and using the 6+4 method I was able to book and see in my System Profiler "64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes". Cool. Now adding either -x86 or arch=x86_64 does not cause it to boot with the 64 bit kernel, not sure why, but whatever I suppose.. maybe I'll just have to wait for retail.. now my real question is, why when my System Profiler tells me "64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes" does Terminal say i386 when i type in "arch"?

I just installed SLSWUpdate.pkg from 10A402 on a working 10A354 installation. Everything went well and it rebooted the system after installation, the spinner/apple logo came but was soon replaced by spinner/error logo. This just went on forever. What am I doing wrong here?

 

This is the screen I get -nd.jpg

 

I am running this on a Macbook Pro 1,1

 

Thanks
