You NEED to have an amd cpu with SSSE3 instructions
IE Bulldozer, FX

maybe your confused with amd SSE3, no good for lion, requires SSSE3
if not, the system hangs with -force64 just before where launchd would say it's started up
launchd refuses to launch on my processor 64-bit

would you mind to let us know your specs / cpu?

AMD FX 4100
MSI 760GM-P23
Radeon HD6570
OS X Lion Retail 10.7.5
Lion Kernel Project

AMD FX-8120
ASUS M5A97-EVO
2x2GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
SSD Corsair F3 60gb
Geforce GTS 250
M-AUDIO Firewire 1814
Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000

no problem with any device for now ..
the cache of the CPU is not shown in the system information, but the speed is right now displayed correctly

I can help with something else?

@aaqib7
felipeunix is running the osx on his AMD Bulldozer FX 8120 which supports the SSSE3 instructions
that's why he can run the 64-bits apps


@felipeunix
AFAIK (CMIIW) the -force64 has not been implemented in the legacy kernel yet
and since you have the FX series AMD, by default you're running the osx in the 64-bits mode (with / without arch=x86_64)


@ryman
I got same issues here
After several minutes, the annoying xpchelper crashes are still occurring, then most of apps refuse to run


@justinster123
Keep up the good work!
Your efforts are appreciated

Thanks for that

Can anybody boot with a Phenom CPU can woot with the 64bit kernel or is it just for Bulldozer?

@All try this one
specifically I applied the patch for R:A:W:X86
Please test
only fix I applied should be for pure 64-bit panic on some bulldozer, I'll look later,
g2g do chores -__-
and homework

Here's my results:

Now I needed to add a flag "arch = i386" to be able to start.

1 - with "arch = i386" + "-legacy" ... obviously everything started in 32-bit .. but not frozen no apps .. a + this time - 45 minutes
only the finder you need to use the patch
apparently super stable.


2 - with "arch = i386" + "-force64" ... obviously already started with all 64-bit apps .. SUPER fast boot!
agility in any task.
finder does not need to patch.
But the 32-bit apps do not open.

Thanks for the recompile & your other efforts.
I know that what you have done means a lot of work.

However it seems that those of AnV's code changes you added, are no use to me / the FX owners:

The x86_64 Kernel does not work, it is instant reboot.
i386 is all the same like using bronzovka's v3 patch in both legacy and 64-Bit mode.
still no success with patching sysenter traps in dyld.

Anyway you did a good job, if your changes make the legacy mode more stable for the non-SSSE3 AMD users.

I'm thinking of getting a Intel G540 with a motherboard tomorrow and just move over.
