Because that will not work with amd! You can only boot into 64 bit userland.
If your amd will start into 64 bit kernel mode, your computer will not be possible to run 32 bit software.
Thanks, I am completely confused, I am reading this forum for a long time understanding some people is getting success running 64 bit AMD.

what do you mean with userland. I am trying to boot with arch=X86_64 flag.

At this point my biggest problem is I am trying to run in 32 bit an application that I didn't use since I had 10.6.2 and neither in 10.6.3 nor 10.6.7 works.
It crashes with Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000537465a3.
the application is compressor (from apple)
Mi idea was to try to boot in 64 bit to see if compressor runs.
But with your comments, I suspect my confusion is deeper.

I would appreciate a brief conceptual explanation of what I can do.

Regards!
