32- or 64-bit Kernel Startup Mode Selector shows whether you have a 32-bit or a 64-bit processor.
Features:
it shows whether you have a 32-bit or a 64-bit EFI
it shows whether the MacOS X Kernel is set to boot in 32-bit or in 64-bit mode
it allows you to select whether you want to start the MacOS X Kernel in 32-bit or in 64-bit mode (the setting might be ignored on MacBooks, depending on how Apple implements the restriction)
accompanying webpage explains what the whole commotion about 32-bit and 64-bit in MacOS X Snow Leopard is about
New in this version:
NEW: added info on new Mac models
Note: I had a report that the app ran fine on 10.5.8 but crashed on startup on 10.6 for one user. After two days of troubleshooting it turned out that the user had a kext which is NOT compatible with 10.6 in his system extension folder (he had previously installed an app, removed it, but forgot to remove the kext). So if you should experience weird crashes with ANY app on 10.6 which ran fine on 10.5.x then make sure you do not have incompatible extensions left in the system folder.
Requirements:
•To check your configuration:
Intel Mac
MacOS X 10.5 Tiger or higher
•To set the kernel's startup mode:
Intel Mac
MacOS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher
Admin rights (as a system file needs changing)
