Andy Vandijck Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I made these because some people might have some use for it. It can thus also be used for modding a Snow Leopard beta (since this is the only one that is capable of booting the 64bit kernel with -x64 boot argument). Enjoy...

Onixs Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I thought Netkas only released the BOOT. ? Where did the CDBOOT come from, if the source was never shared. And also, the MD5 of FDISK is different from chameleon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdtran1025 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 A great welcome! Like a good torrential rain after a long drought! But how do I use it? Please advise since I am not familiar with this. I have been using PCWiz GUI version but that version doesn't move Snow at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Vandijck Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 I thought Netkas only released the BOOT. ? Where did the CDBOOT come from, if the source was never shared. And also, the MD5 of FDISK is different from chameleon. cdboot is created by 2 commands... it uses cdboot.s and next it does a dd on the boot file to merge it into this. I just created a new cdboot from his boot... A great welcome! Like a good torrential rain after a long drought!But how do I use it? Please advise since I am not familiar with this. I have been using PCWiz GUI version but that version doesn't move Snow at all. It's his latest version... It has -x64 support for Snow... You can rebuild a Snow Leo cd with cdboot also... If you don't know how see the Chameleon blog site of Zef. He explains using cdboot to create a hybrid image... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onixs Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Andy Tried building a DVD with the CDBOOT of PC EFI V9, One thing i noticed is, the dvd boots VERY SLOW. Whereas, using Chameleon CDBOOT or your CDBOOT (AnV Bootloader), the DVD boots FAST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Vandijck Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Andy Tried building a DVD with the CDBOOT of PC EFI V9, One thing i noticed is, the dvd boots VERY SLOW. Whereas, using Chameleon CDBOOT or your CDBOOT (AnV Bootloader), the DVD boots FAST. Probably because it is bigger and not as optimized as mine or Chameleon with fixes... Netkas did note he wasn't releasing the sources yet because of code issues so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddogg777 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Andy, would you use the new Chameleon 2 over PC-efiv9? Or do you still prefer this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Vandijck Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Andy, would you use the new Chameleon 2 over PC-efiv9? Or do you still prefer this way? For Leopard: Chameleon V2... For Snow Leopard: PC EFI V9 still if 64-bit CPU... Chameleon V2 does not have an -x64 boot flag for 64-bit kernel loading... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdp2 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Added cdboot to usr/standalone/i385 of trhe dvd and succesfully recreated the image. Now when I boot and use the -x64 flag the message: "kernel overflows available space" shows up. any idea? -v shows two lines of the kernel being loaded, then this error. -s same thing -x same thing Target hdd is not yet GUID, but I can't imagine it should be before the install? Please advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
