I have an issue that Applications > Utilities > Java References says that my system has installed a 32-bit Java Virtual Machine so I understand I cannot run eclipse in 64-bit mode How do I active 64-bit Java VM in Snow Leopard 10.6.2 ? I…

I have a problem, my DVD Player works perfectly on 10.6.3 but after I upgrade my system to 10.6.4 it won't work anymore If I copies old DVD Player from another 10.6.3 to my updated 10.6.4 system then it will work. So 10.6.4 must have…

“scififan68 I pm pcj and he send me the link for new version of kernel You can download it from here u.115 .com/file/f9e07137e”

“NTFS-3G, Tuxera, Paragon drivers for writing NTFS won't work in 64-bit, even for Vanilla kernel, the only driver that works for 64-bit Snow Leopard is hidden inside Snow Leopard, you have to active it to use it, however, in my case, and fro…”

“How done? Just wondering. He has updated his first post with newer version of boot”

“scififan68, if you use GMA950 Sleep don't work in 64-bit ( actually it can sleep but no weak up ), Sleep only work in 32-bit mode as GMA950 driver is buggy and only 64-bit drivers are available in 10.6.2 only (removed in 10.6.3,4,5)”

“scififan68, I think you should clean up cache sudo rm -r -v /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/* or better use AppleJack or try -v -f”

“Excellent work, PCJ This approach is very clever. I can verify that PCJ's way is working perfect for me. His boot + Vanilla 10.4 or 10.5 ( depends on your Mac OS X version is 10.6.4 or 10.6.5 ). Sleep works too ( need NullPowerManagement.ke…”

“@chico_stang @mindlessmissy When I update Leopard from 10.5.6 to 10.5.8, not only mach_kernel but also /S/L/Extensions too. When I update SL from 10.6 to 10.6.1, just update directly from Apple, no need to backup anything. Let's see what ha…”
