Legacy kernel 10.4.0 updated

[fumoboy007]

Great work so far, Andy! There is one more issue which you should add to your list and that is 64-bit. When I use the kernel flag -force64, it just causes my computer to restart.

new kernel work for me and with -force64 now, can some one tell me how to apply those patches? thanks

The kernel patches?
You wont need them unless you plan to modify the source yourself, i haven't done it in osx for ages but check out this if you're interested.

And please read this:

There is no sense in going trough this unless you know what you're doing and actually commit some changes.

Also…the original legacy kernel allowed me to boot into 64-bit albeit without the ability to run 32-bit apps.

Yeah, neither do I.
I suspect they removed some code and that is the reason that it doesn't work.

with out patching any thing by tools
on 32bit
nearly kernel works good just few very few problems you can say fly patching work

on 64bit
all media programs crashes fly patching not works good

if you fixed 64bit fly patching may arch x86-64 works

AFAIK on the fly patching for x86_64 works just fine but the media programs (QuickTime in 64bit) crash because there are no Supplemental SSE3 instructions available.
The only solution is running it in 32bit mode (Get Info, check "run in 32bit")

That's a solution, but some apps are crashing anyway eg. iTunes while importing h.264 video. Even though it's x86 app, it crashes due to lack of SSSE3 on my CPU if the kernel is in x64 mode. It doesn't happen if i run kernel in x86 mode.
The same thing with valve's games - they crash in x64 on intro movies, even if the game's binary itself is 32-bit.

You can't just make an SSSE3 emulator?
