Amacx86 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Not really sure why this is happening; this is a setup that I ran just fine in 64 bit mode in Leopard and Windows XP. It's a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L based setup with a 2.83ghz Quad Core Intel CPU, 4 gigs of RAM, and a Galaxy 210 Nvidia card. All drives are SATA native, and I'm using a USB keyboard and mouse...in other words, very little junk that should give Snow heartburn. I used the myHack installer to get Snow up and running and have native resolution with GraphicsEnabler=N (with Y i boot to a black screen so I'm guessing it's a vid card issue) but I must have arch=i386 in my com.apple.Boot.plist file or I kernal panic very early in the boot process. Sort of a head scratcher. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/241000-ga-p35-ds3l-desktop-only-works-w-iarch386/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Post a photo of the kernel panic. Are you sure you're using the vanilla kernel? Post the output from uname -a And post your /Extra/smbios.plist.

Post the output from uname -a And post your /Extra/smbios.plist. uname -a = Darwin FirstName-LastName-iMac.local 10.5.0 Darwin Kernal Version 10.5.0: Fri Nov 5 23:20:39 PDT 2010; root:xnu-1504.9.17~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 It would appear as if I have no smbios.plist anywhere on the active hard drive, in /Extra, or anywhere else. Odd. I'll get the contents of the kernal panic and add it momentarily.

Amacx86 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Use this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1609905 In /extra. Ok, I did that...now what? The machine seems to be running a little faster, "About This Mac" displays correct information, but the results of uname are unchanged...and when I try to use the mach_kernal flag on boot it says that the mach_kernal cannot be found...despite install from a 10.6.3 retail DVD which I upgraded to 10.6.5 by software update. Doesn't make much sense to me...
