64-bit Kernel and Extensions
Hello all, My system as below (from 'about this Mac') does not install the 64 bit options. It is less than two years old and should, according to Apple, install the 64 bit version. There are no PPC Apps on the system. Any hints?

Meeting tonight...
Hey WAMUG, Long time reader/posted but I'll be attending my first WAMUG meeting tonight, should be good! Particularly interested in seeing the Apple TV demo as I'm looking to get myself one in the not too distant future. Will I need to become a donating member tonight? If so, who do I need to go see first up to sign up?

Dave I used SuperDuper v.2.6,1 (v.86) to create a bootable backup of my entire HD immediately after installing Snow Leopard and it worked fine. No problems at all.

Re: 64-bit Kernel and Extensions
Hi Paul, No, your Mac Pro 2,1 is not capable. The 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 Mac Pro 4,1 are capable of booting into 64- bit kernel. That means holding down the 6 and 4 keys at boot. Only the early 2008 Xserve 2,1 and Early Xserve 3,1 have K64 status Default.

Re: 64-bit Kernel and Extensions
Hi Ronni, Shay, I found the following Terminal command: ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi The answer is: firmware-abi = EFI32 so the firmware is the older version. I purchased the Mac Pro from Apple in May 2008 so it maybe a borderline version? I have send an email to Apple Support, let us see what they say.

Snow Leopard Improvements Explained
The Mac Rumors site had a link to a detailed look on the improvements found in 10.6. It's pretty interesting stuff but possibly a bit too technical for most people. It also explains why running a 64bit kernal is completely unnecessary at the moment and not recommended.

Re: 64-bit Kernel and Extensions
It might be worth mentioning that 64-bit mode isn't required to run 64-bit apps. You only need 64-bit kernel mode if you're going to be accessing more than 64GB of RAM or need more than 4G of kernel address space. Take a look at the Activity Monitor and you should see Intel (64 bit) under the process type for a good majority of your apps and services running. OS X runs 64-bit apps perfectly fine with a 32-bit kernel and 32-bit drivers so long as you have a 64-bit CPU.

Epson Stylus PHOTO RX650 All-In-One compatibility with Snow Leopard
Hi, It took me while to get the Epson software working when I changed from Tiger to Leopard so I'm somewhat hesitant to go to Snow Leopard. There doesn't appear to be much movement toward updating it's software including Epson Scan on http://www.epson.com/ or http://www.epson.com.au/ though I'm probably being a bit impatient considering the complexity of printer software. Can anyone who has the RX650 that has gone to Snow Leopard report whether or not they are having any difficulty printing and scanning with it. I'd like to be Rosetta free if possible when I do update to 10.6 Thanks Brian Scott iMac 24 3.06 2 Duo 3.06 GHz/4GB/NVIDIA 512 MB OS X 10.5.8 Sitting on a empty 1975 Burroughs-B800 console -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
