KiD0M4N Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hey guys, So I got my osx86 up and running with the computer in my configuration. QE/CI is also enabled and working and graphics is smooth. However, I am unable to boot w/o arch=i386 specified as an option. While I realize that using a 64 bit kernel might not give me any noticeable advantage, but I want to figure this out purely as an academic effort. My kextstat extract: kextstat.txt What I have in my /E/E: (I have a PS/2 Cherry Blue Mechanical keyboard) I have also installed ATY_Init.kext (from here) in /S/L/E and the 10.6.6 QE/CI patch (from here.) What could be preventing my hack from working perfectly without arch=i386? Eagerly waiting to fix this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Isn't AppleVIAATA.kext 32-bit only? Don't know if that has anything to do with your issue. Try SuperVIAATA.kext instead (google for it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try SuperVIAATA.kext instead (google for it). I also thought it was 32 bit only! However, I have managed to solve the issue by booting the hack once with "-x" That booted up the system in 'Safe Mode' but in x86_64! I simply restarted and the 64 bit kernel started working. I also got rid of ATY_Init and am now using the ATI kexts which came in the 2011 MBP! QE/CI working flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
