Hello,

There is something really interessting.
I tried the patched dyld files from 10.4.0 v4 and iPhoto works......

arch=x86_64 also doesn´t work.

I´ve the same cpu that you have and i´m not able to boot with flag arch=x86_64 but i don´t use chamelon 2 RC4. I use Chamelon 2 RC5 from kabyl (because of injection from my graphicscard)..... could that be the reason why it doesn´t work?
Did you try it with an other bootloader and if you try it does it work?

Thx and greetz

I had to revert back to Rc4, because with rc5 it just rebooted, so yes thats the reason. Did you try -force64?

You can use my amd_insn_patcher to patch libSystem.dylib (dyld should get auto-patched but if it doesn't work after patching you can patch this with the tool too).
Next you need to rebuild your dyld shared cache with
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
in Terminal and you should be set for running 32bit apps after a reboot.

Hello,

It was to early to be happy about it that iPhoto works.
I´m able to open it but if i´m going to import something iPhoto crashes......

Should be boot without patched dyld (libsystemB.... files) too.
Have you tried to boot with flags arch=i386 -force64???

Hello,

So i´ve to patch the cpuid´s again after update? That is strange because itunes works without problems.
Quick times also not work with this kernel wether in 64 Bit or in 32 Bit.
Would be really interessting what i´ve to do that all works.......

Marvins AMD patcher also doesn´t works @ my system with 10.6.5.
Does anyone have the same problem with it?


Thx again & greetz 2 all
