Code Red Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I installed snow leopard and boot w Chameleon 2 and wonder how to boot into 32bit mode. In my apple.boot.plist i have: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>boot-uuid=6723139C-291F-331D-A735-943EAB1D69C6</string> Can I fit the 32-bit argument there?

imacken Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 This is the sort of post that never gets a reply here because it is so easy to find the answer by searching. Still...... Depends on your boot method, if it's Chameleon RC3, then you need <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=i386</string> with EFI10, <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-x32</string> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Red Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Thx for reply and i know how to search but the question was; since the string under kernel flags was occupied, how should i pass in the <string>arch=i386</string>. I already have <string>boot-uuid=6723139C-291F-331D-A735-943EAB1D69C6</string> under Kernel Flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Again, if you searched you would see that you don't need that UUID stuff. First thing that came up on a search for '32 bit kernel flag uuid' - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=183108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Red Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Ok, thx thought (and still think) i needed that but can experiment on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well, there's only 2 ways of going ahead here. 1) try without your UUID, or 2) put the line as <string>arch=i386 boot-uuid=6723139C-291F-331D-A735-943EAB1D69C6</string> Whichever works (and my guess is that both will) is the right way!
