So, I started messing around, and noticed, that it is the graphics which blocks the hack from booting in 64-bit mode.

Now, I'm using HDAEnabler ... again, in addition to NVEnabler to get the proper video acceleration and sound.

So here is the summary:

1. No DSDT is used currently, thus using the default that came with the BIOS 221.
2. No Graphics Enabler, and certainly no NVidia DSDT patch.
3. Video provided by NVEnabler, audio provided by AsusK50IN and HDAEnabler.
4. ... running in 32-bit mode

Some advantages of the 32-bit mode:

• Lots of drivers out there, especially commercial ones (like the Paragon NTFS driver) are only available in 32-bit mode
• Much more stable in many ways, for instance, you crash when you use dummynet (bandwidth throttling integrated in Mac OS X) in 64-bit mode
• Real Mac are also running in 32-bit modes, so you get closer to real
