Comment(by michaelallenwarner@…):

 My machine *is* too old to run the 64-bit kernel. On paper everything is
 fine: I have a Core 2 Duo processor, and when I check my EFI in Terminal
 with "ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi", it returns EFI64 (not
 EFI32). Nonetheless, my model is incapable of running the 64-bit kernel
 (again, 64-bit apps run just fine in the 32-bit environment). As I
 understand it, it's an artificial limitation that Apple placed on the
 MacBook 4,1. It's quite stupid that my 2008 model has this artificial
 limitation, while the iMac 7,1 from 2007 apparently boots to the 64-bit
 kernel by default in Lion. That's the way it is.

 Is it possible that the "host_cpu" in the gavl config file needs to match
 the kernel's architecture? If not, I'm at a loss as to why my "fix"
 worked.
