So here comes my first testing experience with the Rel4 Kernel:

+ no more System-Profiler crash like with Rel3 Kernel
+ my custom display calibration setting gets loaded

without "patcher_opts=2"

- Kernel Panic from above

using "patcher_opts=2"

- Spotlight Prefpane crashes the Finder (Finder doesn't restart)
- iTunes crashes with the exact same error as if I am using -force64 (see screenshot below)
- Volume control in menubar doesn't work due to unpresent decryption routine
+ Quiktime works

using "patcher_opts=2 -force64"

+ booting into 32/64-mode with success
+ Quiktime works
+ Spotlight Prefpane works
- iTunes crashes
- sometimes a white block appears when closing a window (just close - no quit of the corresponding app)
+ Volume control in menubar works without patched/decrypted SystemUIServer - so if the issues with forced patcher (mainly iTunes - maybe other Apps causing similar error??) would get fixed, I might gonna become a happy user of your Kernel even without working decryption routine…

Screens of working 64-Bit & left issues:



So far still too buggy / unstable for using it, but another step into the right direction.

Thanks again for your work Andy - I am looking forward to try out further builds of this project.

//// EDIT \\\\
Most Apps (Firefox, VLC, etc) are crashing the same way as iTunes does - same with and without -force64.
I tried booting the old Rel3 Kernel with "patcher_opts=2" and I am having the exact same issues...
