How to force all launch services in 32bit mode?



I'm booting with 'arch=i386' flag, additionally I had run the 'sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture i386' command on my terminal but every-time I boot up:




8/16/17 3:04:58 PM kernel 64 bit mode enabled

8/16/17 3:04:58 PM kernel Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386



How to trully enable this glorious 32bit mode.

I'm assuming that the fact that the "64 bit mode enabled" is linked Activity Monitor showing that all process in Intel 64 bit mode. I know that the kernel is booted in 32 bit mode (RELEASE_I386) but I don't think that is enough.

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and chameleon bootloader (latest version available online - v2.2svn I think)

Possibly because your hardware is 64bit enabled, so SL wants to run 64bit, but since you neglected to follow the rules and enter your hardware in your profile it is impossible to tell without my crystal ball and it is in the shop for repairs.
Mobo: Asrock - OK, but what model? It does make a difference
CPU: Intel - OK, but which one? It does make a difference
Graphics: nVidia - So what, nVidia makes hundreds of GPUs - what model is yours?
