I have been trying for hours to solve this problem and can't figure it out.

I have a nearly flawless Snow Leopard installation on my Asus P6T Deluxe V2 system, but it only works in 64-bit mode. This is fine for pretty much everything except one major issue, which is wireless cards... none of them work with 64-bit.

When I try to boot with the -x32 flag (using Chameleon), it goes to the normal boot screen and panics after awhile. With -v it always hangs at ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin, however I don't think this is the problem because lots of people have this item failing while booting, but it doesn't give them problems.

I CAN successfully boot with -x32 -x (safe boot), however it always kernel panics within 5-10 minutes and numerous other things don't work (wireless does, though).

a
So the problem is that I can boot to 32-bit mode only using the -x flag, and it hangs without it. I have no idea why. Any ideas?
