archer75 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 My install is setup to use 64bit kernel and kexts but I have a piece of hardware that only has 32bit drivers. How can I tell snow leopard to use 32bit kexts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 To use 32 bit kexts you must use 32 bit kernel (boot with "arch=i386"). Can't use 32 bit kexts with 64 bit kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a file I can add that to so I don't have to type arch=i386 every time the system boots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Add it to kernel flags in /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=i386</string> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
