I have 10.6.6 installed on a dc7600 SFF, i have a pentium D 3.4GHz cpu that has 64bit capabilities and 4GB ram. I also use the onboard GMA950 video device. I have everything working pretty good in 32bit mode. I have a patched DSDT file, using mostly vanilla kexts. I am everything on the video side working legit. Except for when I boot using arch=x64 or any other 64 bit kernel string. I get IOAPIC family kernel panics. I tried using the efi strings (the laptop one) but that doesn't work, I used it in conjunction with the dsdt but get a weird dual monitor mirrored effect problem. I've read that the gma950 kexts are 64bit as of 10.6.2. But I just cant get it to work. What am I doing wrong or where can I go to get the answers? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi man.

 

Can you post your kp screen and your DSDT?

 

About your mirrored effect problem i think its normal 'cause i never seen hackintoshies on mirrored screen mode (imacs ok, but hack, any...) but someone told me that its possible .

So check it out yourself... and dont forget to post your pics and files!

I have attached my kernel panic file and my dsdt file. I also have a link to where someone has the same problem, it's an older topic, but I get the same issue.

the link is a different site too. but it's for reference as that's where I copied the kp info from. I get the same KP.

no, Im using legacy_kernel 10.6.6. My pentium D 3.4GHz cpu can't run vanilla. I'll try that arch=i386 -force64 and see what happens.

 

nope. those boot flags did not work. Well it booted, but the -force64 didnt do anyting. Still in 32bit kernel.

I don't know if the laptop GMA 950 will work in forse64 but the desktop variant will ( Vendor: Intel (0x8086)

Device ID: 0x2772)

 

As far as I know arch=x64 will not work with that kernel..

the qoopz 10.6.5 kernel is supposed to have 64bit legacy support. I dont get it. i guess 32bit is fine for now.

 

thanks for your help Dellmantt

 

Try this http://osx86.co/f36/new-modify-chameleon-b...l-cpu-to-t6737/

apparently works on Pentium D, does on my P4 Still I have to boot arch=i386 -force64 or just arch=i386 if I try arch=x64 i get an IOAPIC error.
