USB disk can't boot on Intel but ok for AMD64

Hi,

 

The USB disk I've made (tried using Chameleon RC2 and RC3) couldn't boot on my two Intel PCs (HP dc7100 and dc7600), which I had installed non-retail OS X (osx86 DVDs) successfully on previous occasions. This time when I'm using a USB disk, they didn't even reach the Chameleon boot menu.

 

However, the USB disk is bootable as I could boot it off my AMD64 PC. Using the same USB disk, my AMD64 PC loaded the Chameleon bootloader GUI menu. (The installer didn't load properly because the kernel wasn't designed for AMD64.)

 

May I know what could be the reason for my Intel PCs not booting off my USB disk but on the AMD64 it's ok?

 

The USB disk is partitioned as GUID (has a small hidden partition by default), formatted as HFS+, installed with Chameleon RC2/3, and copied NetKas "boot" to its root.
