Hello folks,

I am new to Chameleon 2.0 RC3 bootloader. I manually installled it into 10.5.8 system. I tried to boot system through Chameleon bootloader. It displayed shiny apple screen then displayed gray screen with instructions. I was asked to restart system by using reset button or so. I did and still got the same again and again.

With boot 132 CD bootloader in DVD drive, I was able boot system without any problem. Back to Chameleon bootloader, I tried to boot system with -v option. I got kernel panic message about HPET. It complaint that no HPETs available in AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement module.

Does anyone know any additional patches or kext to fix HPET? Does anyone know any installations for Chameleon 2.0 RC3?

My system configuration are:
Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (Model E6600)

Thanks,
Sword7

I had this exact same thing. You need to find Disabler.kext and stick it in /Extra/Extensions.

You go to see a doctor because your knee is hurting. The doctor pulls out a hammer and hits you really hard on the other knee. "There, I fixed it".



Look in your BIOS for something that mentions HPET. Try different settings.

Try (not at the same time)

Patching HPET device in DSDT (forum search)

Set ForceHPET=yes in com.apple.Boot.plist (see the Chameleon docs/FAQ @ VoodooProjects Forum)
