how to every 32bit app run with AMD w/8GB RAM 64bit userland?

[todesto]

Hi, all

Just as titled, I would like to know if there is a way to run every 32bit app when running 64bit userland.

I recently added extra 4GB to my AMD PII 955 / ASUS M4A78T-E / 4GB making 8GB which is running 10.6.7 with nawcom legacy kernel 10.7. When I booted, it showe cpu halted and shut down. I find it is with memory from googling so when I used maxmem=4094, it booted but only 4G recognized. So there was no point adding 4GB!

So googled more to find ANV kernel which supports 32bit kernelt, 64bit userland which make my system to recognized 8GB BUT some of 32bit apps don't run.

For example, garageband, iMovie is not running. It shows "quit unexpectadly" error. also silverlight plug in for FireFox doesn't run either as it shows it won't run on 64bit. I need that to run netflix......
I have not tested other apps but those are the ones that I would like to use.

I see the signature from Akimoa, and Wastez showing they have 8GB so I assume they are using full 8GB.....are they?

Currently I am booting with arch=i386 maxmem=4094 with legacy kernel againonly because when I use arch=i386 -force64 with ANV kernel then above apps I mentioned to not run.

Is there a way to remedy this?

Thanks in advance.

u have to patch your amd binaries in order to have all apps working 100% how to do is all over the place just have a look in here or over at IM (mohameds thread for example)

WoW, thanks for quick reply....I searched, searched but can't find exact steps....are you talking about using upx? it seems it doesn't do it. When i boot -s, the command doesn't run.

Can you direct me the proper link?

Also what do you mean over at IM (mohameds thread) ?

Thanks.

yap go for it

do you need special boot file after patch?
I see you have

Legacy Kernel V8 2
AnV cparm Boot Beta 3

Where do you get that? I only see the link for beta 2
