Templeton Peck Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I guess this is kernel related. I've tried the latest netkas kernel, but 64-Bit Apps all seem to crash. Until this is fixed (appreciate the effort, btw), is it possible to run a background daemon in 32-bit mode. I know this is possible for GUI apps like Chess.app, by clicking the check box in the "Get Info window" -- But what about unix apps? Thanks.

Templeton Peck Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Boot with KernelFlag -legacy maybe Kernel needs this SSSE3 Fix for Pentium 4/D´s Thanks for the reply but I get the same result. It's not too big of a deal. I don't care so much about Chess. My main concern is getting Apache working, but HTTPd keeps crashing whenever I try to enable Web serving.

Templeton Peck Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 UPDATE: I stripped out the 64-Bit code paths in both httpd and Chess; both now work flawlessly. I've found a couple of other people with the same problems, but it's not that prevalent. I think a lot of people just aren't noticing this yet -- firstly, because the only two 64-Bit apps in Leo are Chess and httpd (things which most folks will probably never use) -- and secondly, because most people are probably still on 32-Bit (so the apps won't even attempt to run in 64-Bit mode). Plus, most people are probably still on Tiger. To put my theory to the test, is there anyone out there running Leo on a 64-Bit machine who's able to run either Chess or httpd?

aliab Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I have just finish a Chess party in 64 mode no crash httpd works to i will test more regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoarthing Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 There's a new netkas 'RC1' kernel [from source ] on the usual irc: Intel/SSE3/HPET/64-bit . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton Peck Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 I have just finish a Chess party in 64 mode no crash httpd works to i will test more regards Thanks, it must be on my end then. I notice you have a C2D. The issue is probably something specific to the P4/chipset/etc... There's a new netkas 'RC1' kernel [from source ] on the usual irc: Intel/SSE3/HPET/64-bit . . . Thanks. I'll try it out pronto. The new kernel works great. 64-Bit Apps no longer crash. If I interpret the Netkas site correctly, the problem affected machines without SSE4. But it's all good now. The only other issue I have is About this Mac, but this one has been popping up and corrected so many times, it doesn't even bother me anymore.

caracols Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Finished a Chess game, not a single problem, confirmed running 64bit on activity monitor. Only Core2Duos and forthcoming cpus have a 64bit core, I guess that even older CoreDuos are only 32 bit capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And C2D have it, Pentium4/PentiumD/Celeron needs this fix to get 64bit correctly done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidha Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 "I guess that even older CoreDuos are only 32 bit capable." I don't understand this. Other forums says: "Pentium D is 64 bit". What's the truth about this? Is 64 bit capable a Leopard running Pentium D or Core(1)Duo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteo Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Chess is working just fine over here on Pentium D 830. ToH RC2, EFI v5.2, stock kexts, netkas 9.1 kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riws Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 "I guess that even older CoreDuos are only 32 bit capable."Yeah, CoreDuo´s aka Yonah dont have SSSE3 and EM64TI don't understand this. Other forums says: "Pentium D is 64 bit".What's the truth about this? Is 64 bit capable a Leopard running Pentium D or Core(1)Duo?Pentium D has the EM64T instruction set, but not the SSSE3. Apple´s Vision of Intel 64bit is with SSSE3. With hacked Kernels its possible to get 64bit in Leo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
