They cant run in 32 Bit Mode because there are no i386 drivers anymore since ML.
Please don't write about it if you don't know it for sure.

Using Sinetek "AMD Test Kernel 1" will let me install Mountain Lion and create user. But on next boot only shows a light grey screen that is slowly flashing dim then bright.
I Can not try any other Kernel as this is the only kernel that allows me to get past the instant reboot issue with Bulldozer/Piledriver CPUs.

I am also using andys latest kernel and have managed to boot and install mountain lion my graphics are detected but its really slow, i installed from a app store copy of ML and made usb stick i then replaced the kernel for andys one and was able to boot the installer and install no problems, i then popped the hd in a caddy connected it to my macbook and installed chameleon and the kernel that way wacked it back in the system and bang she loaded
only down side is boot takes around 5mins and graphics are really slow and laggy some times the system locks up all together
Amd athlon 64 X2 3800+
Msi K9N6SGM-V motherboard

looking forward to what could come next :-)

I have a motherboard (ASUS M4N68TM_LE_V2), which has the nForce 630a chipset. However, there is no AHCI mode, only the default (IDE) and RAID. Is there a kext or a workaround which I can use to get my motherboard working with Mountain Lion? First, it shows "com.apple.applefscompressiontypezlib load succeeded" then hangs for a few seconds, and goes to "Still waiting for root device".
I have tried it using -x and a few other boot flags, but I still can't get it to work.
Thanks

confirm working here with QE/CI enable
AMD X6 1055T
Asrock 970 extreme4
HD 4850
M-Audio Revolution 7.1
4 GB ram
TP link WN881ND
PCI-e USB 3.0 card NEC chipset
all hardware working well

the only problem is when I play movie with quicktime, the audio and video is not sync, but when I play it on movist or VLC it sync, and no problem at all
and the performance of the processor is not good when I compare with AMD Snow Leo 64 bit or win 8 64 bit


Win 8 64 bit

Finally boot with kernel (8F8E8B639E2CFB37293EDE5A34458B49) & boot args "-v -f" only, no KP at all, after testing all andys attachment
In my case since ML no longger support for my old ATI graphic card (x1300), at "about this mac" / "system properties" it showing only 3MB of GPU Ram & running sloooow too. So i install kext from LION 10.7.5 & add DSDT patch. Tested with AppleDecrypt found here. Hope this help developer to take surveys
As connactic says, i'll post my results there, soon

Just curious again, how did you know that "People who use mac on intel cpu and runing it in i386 mode,they do not have any problem whit this" ?
Do you know someone who runs Lion or Mountain Lion i386 on Intel?

Congratulations! May I ask, as you're using a HD4xxxx, do you see some graphics bugs (not the QuickTime)?
Also QuickTime problem could be solved by specifying right busratio on boot (just a guess).

I will not be posting in the working builds until the nv issue is fixed since it is not a true working build. Been stressing a week over it!
Thanks to "Conti" I have figured out how to boot mountain lion with a nvidia card. Still need acceleration though!
I have noted that when opening Java 7 update11 it Kernel Panics!
