vinlar Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Quick and perhaps stupid question... How do you install Chameleon if your new retail OS X installation is not bootable due to lack of Chameleon and required kernel extensions? In the past I have installed Chameleon beta and now RC1 from a working OS X installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past I have installed Chameleon beta and now RC1 from a working OS X installation. opps Big step missed will correct! well once you have os x install put the boot cd back in and use it to boot the Hard DRive then install Chameleon on to the hard drive from there,and your kexts and fixes to the extra folder then reboot and remove cd the if you installed chameleon correctly you should be able to boot it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkone84 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Extra, again Extra — bad way. what do you mean do you have a better way to boot the RETAIL DVD then boot a untouched RETAIL Install and be able to update without ever having a problem.... with out have to use any hacks or scripts...this I think this is for the purely technical nOOB so they have no problems and then once thay learn their way around OS X then do what ever they want.. But personally I think it the best way until we figure out how to use UEFI natively on UEFI ready Motherboards... Just my opinion and 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinlar Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I can boot to the Chameleon disk selection screen, switch discs, and re-scan. Attempting to boot the Leopard disc causes a quick black screen then transitions right back to the Chameleon disk selection screen. Perhaps my hardware isn't supported? Motherboard is an Asus P5B Deluxe (P965 chipset with ICH8R controller. Also has JMicron controller, but my disks are not attached to those ports).

Motherboard is an Asus P5B Deluxe (P965 chipset with ICH8R controller. Also has JMicron controller, but my disks are not attached to those ports). From sonotone's Guide Boot the Retail DVD: When the bootloader ask you for rescan, press ENTER. Go to boot options (f8), Swap disks, then press ESC to rescan drive. When the name of the DVD appears, press ENTER. Boot Partitions: When the bootloader ask you for rescan, press any key (not ENTER). Go to Boot options (f8), then choose your partition. If you get an instant reboot, turn your controller in AHCI mode. Try that which you change AHCI Mode in your bios.. and also try to boot in verbose by selecting the DVD in the Boot menu and instead of pressing enter to boot press the Down Arrow key and then choose verbose boot to see what the kernle is doing that way we can see if there is something missing Also do you have Execute Bit Enabled?

Pietruszka Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi, loop restart...with this cd.... one disk with LEO and Vista partitions (GUID)....Chameleon 1.0.11 works... any ideas?? thx for any help p.s. great to check before install RC1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimutz Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I totally get the feeling that, Chameleon2 it's not supporting my chipset or something..??! at least for now. Works pretty fine with HDs but, with DVDs i always get some cdboot lines (cdboot:init, etc..) and instant reboot. Either in AHCI or IDE modes, with this method (Sonotone guide) or INSTAHackintosh. I don't get to see the bootloader at all. Hope the future will be brighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevy2410 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Ok, gave this a try and it doesn't do anything. I burn iso, rebooted with burned disc, disc booted and I got the Chameleon screen and then hit F8 key. I then swapped discs with my 10.5.6 retail disc, waited for me drive to stop spinning disc and then hit esc key, up popped my disc (which says Apple HFS+) I then hit enter to boot the disc and it just sits there. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I don't know. Check my sig for my system config. Chevy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkone84 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 I am almost done remaking the cd I found out why it reboots on The Retail DVDs is because I had to add the boot and boot1 files and one other along with the cdboot file on the disk to make it boot... I'll update once it is done.... And if anyone is wandering I was under the Impression that only the cdboot file had to be on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
