In order to verify:

You are sure that you have NOT been using the -legacy flag, when taking that screenshot?

(org.chameleon.boot.plist etc)





but I could boot into the single-user mode only with the -legacy flag
without it, the boot would remain stuck at the same "USBF..." line

The only idea behind this test was to see if it would boot furhter than "BSD root: blaba" - so we would have some clue, where work on this could be started.

It's okay mate, nothing to worry about

If you need more testing, please just let me know

On previous versions of OS X there has not been any essential software that has been using that SIMD extensions, only stuff like QTX etc...

launchd is the most basic process required for OS X to work.
If my assumption is right, then there will be only two ways for the old AMD & Intel Netburst to boot non-legacy, either emulating the unsupported instructions in the Kernel or making a patch for the concerned software...

Please excuse my stupidity

what I mean is 64-bits userland on 32-bits kernel

for example, running the 64-bits version of the Geekbench with the 32-bits kernel of the snow-leo (-legacy -force64)

is there any chance that the -force64 method can also be applied to your kernel ?
so we'll be able to run the 64-bits apps, which are not using the SIMD extensions, with the 32-bits kernel of the lion too ?
