Canīt test authentication for 64bit as I am unable to get it up  |
I am sorry for your problem, but using that boot flag or not should not be any matter.
And while we're on the subject some more time:
Why the ---- are there so many people who do not understand this?!
The original Lion (Vanilla) Kernel is a fat binary made up of an i386 and a x86_64 part.
All patched Kernel consist of the i386 part
ONLY.
So far the x86_64 part can be compiled from patched source, but it hasn't worked on all tested machines (instant reboot).
In OS X the i386 Kernel supports using EM64T for applications.
Those CPUs not capable of EM64T have been booting what we are calling "-legacy mode" till Snow Leopard.
(Also capable CPUs could be forced using the -legacy flag.)
Support for those Macs (& Hacks) has been droped in Lion (including -legacy mode in XNU).
In the patched Kernel the "-legacy mode" has been reimplemented, as Lion appears to require the SSSE3 instruction set (avaible on latest AMD only) to work, when applications are launched in 64-Bit adress space.
This is one reason, why I have doubts about running ML on AMD - even Bulldozer.
As the ML Kernel will be x86_64 only. Although not impossible of course... ...theoretically.

Testing on that CPU is up to you, it doesn't look like someone has done this yet.
Choice between native or virtualized installation is of course up to you as well.
In case of native installation you should know, that your graphics will remain unsupported / not allow any accerlation etc. this is most likely the main reason, why noone has tried the Llano yet.
The good news is, that in case it will boot at all, you should be able to boot Lion with EM64T enabled, as your APU supports the necessary instruction set.
There are some tutorials around that may give you some basic orientation i.e. check that link, two postings up from yours...
