Hello. I need to boot in 32 bit mode to run Cisco VPN Client on my Macbook Air (version 10.7.4). This worked earlier this week but I've now tried for 3 days probably 20 plus time and cannot get it to take. Is there another way to boot in 32 bit mode?
Can anyone assit?
uname -v
Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Wed May 30 20:13:51 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.31.2~1/RELEASE_X86_64
Thanks.
MacBook Air
You're running an unreleased version of OS X.
Linc Davis,
What makes you say that? I upgraded when Apple released this version. Here is a link about the released version 10.7.4.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5167?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The current kernel release is 11.4.0.
Mine is the same as the OP, on my current MBA.
It is a "released" version.
I have the identical problem:
brand new Macbook Air (Summer 2012)
Mac OS 10.7.4
Kernel patch 11.4.2
it will not boot in 32bit modus - not with holding down 3+2 during startup and neither after
sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture i386
What´s wrong???
same problem
bash-3.2# uname -a
Darwin robert.local 12.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.1.0: Tue Aug 14 13:29:55 PDT 2012; root:xnu-2050.9.2~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
bash-3.2# systemsetup -getkernelbootarchitecturesetting
kernel architecture is set to: i386
My understanding is that Mountain Lion doesn't support 32-bit booting.
noondaywitch,
You are correct, as I have learned also recently. When I originally posted this, I wasn't on Moutain Lion yet. But have upgraded since and learned it's not an option with Moutain Lion, which was a huge surprise to me. Didn't even think it wouldn't be an option and never checked and now out of luck and have to revert back to Parallels for Cisco VPN. Maybe Cisco will get it together one of these days and provide an app that works on current Mac OS X versions.
Thanks for the post.
Holding 3 and 2 will not boot in 32 bit mode
