running0nempty77 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 to force the boot loader to always boot in 32 bit do i edit the com.apple.Boot.plist in Extra to read <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-x32 boot-uuid=********-****-****-****-************</string> ^ ********-****-****-****-************=my uuid or do i edit the com.apple.Boot.plist in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist? and would i need two keys? one w/just my uuid and the other w/the x32 flag + the uuid? or can i just add the one flag? i've got the Intel GMA X3100 and it works in 32 bit. But if I accidentally boot w/o the -x32 and go in 64 bit the only way i can get my graphics back is to do a re-install. even if the next time i reboot i use the -x32 flag.

iamhappy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 can you please explain why we have the one in Extra PLUS the one in Library/Preferences/System Configuration? do they have to include the same flags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstorm911 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Is boot-uuid=~~ necessary in order to boot in 32 bit mode ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
