It looks like it is.

References here and here show it is possible to force boot the x86_64 kernel if you have a 64bit EFI firmware.

Theory is fine, but for now I haven't been successful.

There are several relevant parts such as:

Quote:
Model (with 64-bit EFI) Byte Position in boot64.efi Old Value New Value
Mac mini(Eary 2009)　0×266DB 0×00 0×80
MacBook Air(Late 2008)　0×266FB 0×00 0×80
iMac(early 2008) 0×2671B 0×08 0×80
included in the comments at this page, but so far I'm stuck.

As an alternate method I attempted to use lipo to modify the mach_kernel to only contain the x86_64 kernel information. A reboot confirms this didn't work so well. :)

Interesting notes so far from the EFI modification tests:

1) bless --info works fine on 10.6.0, but gives a Can't access "efi-boot-device" NVRAM variable on 10.6.2.

2) You can still modify which efi file is used for boot in 10.6.2 (I fouled one up in a hex editor and rebooted to see if it would fail just to test it), but the bless binary will not show the information the system is configured with.

3) The information at both links above for modifying the boot.efi doesn't seem to work in 10.6.0. It already wasn't working in 10.6.2, but there were some comments about it working in previous versions of Snow Leopard so I went back to an unpatched vanilla install from my install media (used Disk Utility to format the drive before installation) to test it.

Does anyone have experience with this? :) ]]> Genuine Mac Support Lint0sh http://www.hackint0sh.org//showthread.php?t=98157 Snow Leopard.... http://www.hackint0sh.org//showthread.php?t=98154&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:06:17 GMT What happens if I upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard if I upgraded another computer with the same CD?

I bought a Macbook Pro off ebay, and i think the charger is on the way out. I have checked the serial number against applecare's warranty check and it says its valid until June 2010.

https://selfsolve.apple.com/ :pie:

The battery Time / Percent is up and down like a yoyo, and the charge is making a sizzling noise

Do you reckon i could call apple and get it replaced, or is the warranty only with the person who 1st bought it?

first I would to apologize for my bad english...
There is my problem : I have a macbook mid 2007 with broken display and maybe other bad issues (fan, sensor, superdrive,...) ????
the macbook goes on and boot and I can use an external display, but I would to run AHT on it for testing the machine and when I boot in target disk mode (the superdrive is KO) with the "D" key I don't see anything on external display even in clamshell mode, I think because I boot with the AHT on DVD an this is a "basic" system.
My question : it is possible to modify the EFI for than the macbook boot the external display like the main screen or it is possible to modify the AHT for booting on external display

so here is my story :)

I had my macbook pro in sleep mode for few hours, when i tried to wake it up the screen didn't turn on ,
so i tried
1) press F2, won't help
2) force shutdown, and restart but the screen just won't turn on even at the beginning of the boot
3) reset smc, shutdown disconnect from power sources and hold power button for 5 secs
4) reset pram, pressing cmd, opt, p, and r
5) plug it to an external screen, but the other screen was black too !!!

now i am sure that the problem is only from the lcd since i can hear the fans working, the hd, and the speakers when i higher or lower the volume.

any suggestions? please help out
