Chameleon RC5 mode with mem detection enabled and automatic P-States & C-States generation for native power managment

ChameleonRC5 rev459

Would it be possible to have a selectable option for a script to install boot0hfs instead of boot0 to the MBR?
or if it's not possible, maybe have a secondary installer package?

Thanks MaLd0n - ChameleonRC5_rev459b.zip does the job. I have just tested it and can happily dual boot Windows 7 and OS X from Chameleon with both OS's sleeping and hibernating fine

Would you and iFabio maybe work together to keep to one installer style? as to be honest, I prefer iFabio's more complete installer and he's worked on language translations etc.

Hi.

Here the portuguese project I made, need translation for License.rtf and Description.html the rest is already "translated" I hope...

Ciao Fabio,

I translated Description.html into brazilian portuguese. I have doubt about what "resuming your Mac OS X with a preview image" means.

O Chameleon é um boot loader que combina vários componentes.
Ele é baseado na implementação de fake EFI feita por David Elliott, adicionada ao projeto boot-132 da Apple.

O Chameleon é extendido com as seguintes características chave:

Novos recursos no Chameleon 2.0

- Interface gráfica (GUI) totalmente personalizável para trazer algumas cores ao Bootloader Darwin.

- Inicializa DVDs retail lendo uma imagem ramdisk diretamente, sem ajuda de nenhum programa adicional.

- Hibernação. Aproveite continuar o seu Mac OS X com uma amostra de imagem.

- Substituição de SMBIOS para modificar os valores de fábrica.

- Substituição de DSDT para usar uma DSDT modificada que pode resolver diversos problemas.

- Injeção de propriedades de dispositivo através do string device-properties.

- boot0 / boot1h híbridos para discos particionados em MBR e GPT.

- Detecção automática de FSB mesmo para processadores AMD recentes.

- Suporte a Software RAID da Apple.

In Welcome.rtfd, "Agradecimentos a" would be a better translation to "Thanks to" instead of "Graças a".

Great job.. testing now

I have doubt about what "resuming your Mac OS X with a preview image" means.

I think it refers to the ghosted screen image Chameleon draws when resuming OS X from hibernation.

the perl script was written by el_coniglio, I just modified it to use boot0hfs and don't change the active partition.

the first one also activates the selected target partition.

Hi with this I think is complete...

In the original content is present also the localizable.strings file but now... if we build the package that file is "obsolete"

Hi,

I've installed this one on a machine where i've been using RC5 pre8 (Dr Hurt's installer) and it messed up my Hardware UUID.

Tried removing PlatformUUID.kext and rebuilding the caches, added the right UUID in the boot.plist, but nothing helps to get my previous UUID.

Check this out:

System profiler shows my new UUID, and the boot.plist shows my previous UUID that i want to get back.

Is there anything else i can do to get it back? Am i doing something wrong?

my system specs:

Hardware
Asus P5K-E
Q6600
9500GT

Software
Retail 10.6.3
fakesmc.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
OpenHaltRestart.kext

1. The Mac Model has changed from MacPro 2.1 to 3.1 (i'm not using any smbios.plist)

2. The graphics card shows the right ROM version instead of xx.xx.xx as it was earlier.

3. Network card doesn't appears in the PCI Cards section in System Profiler anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Are there sone changes in the later chamelon pkg (V 458) ?

I now have boot0 Error - never had since 1 year. (No fear: its on an second test disk, Win7 part 0, OS X part 1 (selected to install chameleon on)

Must be some problem with fdisk and setting the selected volume active. (fdisk flag 1 ?)

Does V 459 also activate (flag) the selected volume / whats the diff to the boothfs (459b) version ?

Thanks

By the way, i know that there is some newer (fdisk 448byte Vista/Win7 friedly) version (zef) . Does the installer uses /installs that ?

This is the perl script used in Maldon's packages (el coniglio wrote it)

#!/usr/bin/perl

$destino = $ARGV[1];
$destino =~ s/ /\\ /g;
$volume = $ARGV[2];
my %mapa;

open (MOUNT, "mount|");
while (<MOUNT>) {
chomp;
$line = $_;
if ($line =~ /^([^ ]+) on ([^(]+) \([^)]*\)$/) {
	$mapa{$2}=$1;
}
}
close (MOUNT);

if ($mapa{$volume}) {
if ($mapa{$volume} =~ /^\/dev\/(disk\d)s(\d)$/) {
	$disk = $1;
	$partition = $2;
	$volume =~ s/ /\\ /g;
	system ($destino."/fdisk440 -f ".$destino."/boot0 -u -y /dev/r".$disk);
	system ("dd if=".$destino."/boot1h of=/dev/r".$disk."s".$partition);
	system ("cp ".$destino."/boot ".$volume);
	open (PIPE, "|fdisk -e /dev/".$disk."|");
	print PIPE "f ".$partition."\n";
	print PIPE "write\n";
	print PIPE "y\n";
	print PIPE "exit\n";
}
}

It needs fdisk440 installed in /usr/standalone/i386

And this is for boot0hfs (modified by Maldon)

#!/usr/bin/perl

$destino = $ARGV[1];
$destino =~ s/ /\\ /g;
$volume = $ARGV[2];
my %mapa;

open (MOUNT, "mount|");
while (<MOUNT>) {
chomp;
$line = $_;
if ($line =~ /^([^ ]+) on ([^(]+) \([^)]*\)$/) {
	$mapa{$2}=$1;
}
}
close (MOUNT);

if ($mapa{$volume}) {
if ($mapa{$volume} =~ /^\/dev\/(disk\d)s(\d)$/) {
	$disk = $1;
	$partition = $2;
	$volume =~ s/ /\\ /g;
	system ($destino."/fdisk440 -f ".$destino."/boot0hfs -u -y /dev/r".$disk);
	system ("dd if=".$destino."/boot1h of=/dev/r".$disk."s".$partition);
	system ("cp ".$destino."/boot ".$volume);
}
}

It writes boot0hfs to MBR instead of boot0, and does NOT activate the selected partition.

I now have boot0 Error - never had since 1 year. (No fear: its on an second test disk, Win7 part 0, OS X part 1 (selected to install chameleon on)

Must be some problem with fdisk and setting the selected volume active. (fdisk flag 1 ?)

Does V 459 also activate (flag) the selected volume / whats the diff to the boothfs (459b) version ?

Thanks

By the way, i know that there is some newer (fdisk 448byte Vista/Win7 friedly) version (zef) . Does the installer uses /installs that ?

Hi!

The fdisk I use in the package is the fdisk440 (40,8 KB or 41.752 byte) I just rename it in fdisk

for the scripts...

As I say before "I hope works" (The 2 scripts are the same used in the MaLd0n package)

I post the two script here.

boot0

[size=1]#!/usr/bin/perl

$percorso = $ARGV[1];
$percorso =~ s/ /\\ /g;
$volume = $ARGV[2];
my %mapa;

open (MOUNT, "mount|");
while (<MOUNT>) {
chomp;
$line = $_;
if ($line =~ /^([^ ]+) on ([^(]+) \([^)]*\)$/) {
	$mapa{$2}=$1;
}
}
close (MOUNT);

if ($mapa{$volume}) {
if ($mapa{$volume} =~ /^\/dev\/(disk\d)s(\d)$/) {
	$disk = $1;
	$partition = $2;
	$volume =~ s/ /\\ /g;
	system ($percorso."/fdisk -f ".$percorso."/boot0 -u -y /dev/r".$disk);
	system ("dd if=".$percorso."/boot1h of=/dev/r".$disk."s".$partition);
	system ("cp ".$percorso."/boot ".$volume);
	open (PIPE, "|fdisk -e /dev/".$disk."|");
	print PIPE "f ".$partition."\n";
	print PIPE "write\n";
	print PIPE "y\n";
	print PIPE "exit\n";
}
}[/size]

boot0htfs

[size=1]#!/usr/bin/perl

$percorso = $ARGV[1];
$percorso =~ s/ /\\ /g;
$volume = $ARGV[2];
my %mapa;

open (MOUNT, "mount|");
while (<MOUNT>) {
chomp;
$line = $_;
if ($line =~ /^([^ ]+) on ([^(]+) \([^)]*\)$/) {
	$mapa{$2}=$1;
}
}
close (MOUNT);

if ($mapa{$volume}) {
if ($mapa{$volume} =~ /^\/dev\/(disk\d)s(\d)$/) {
	$disk = $1;
	$partition = $2;
	$volume =~ s/ /\\ /g;
	system ($percorso."/fdisk -f ".$percorso."/boot0hfs -u -y /dev/r".$disk);
	system ("dd if=".$percorso."/boot1h of=/dev/r".$disk."s".$partition);
	system ("cp ".$percorso."/boot ".$volume);
}
}
[/size]

I have MBR HD ( not GUID/EFI type). So default is boot0 (used in V459) ?

Thanks

yep the boot0 is used by default.

I just make the doble option inside the "Chameleon Bootloader" to switch between boot0 and boot0hfts... but need "deselect" the first one (boot0) no idea how manage (apps package builder) one for autodeselect the other ...

here other package to test. rev462 (trunk 454)

I correct the position of the second scripts

Add the new full portuguese localization

you can safely keep using boot0, the script should activate the selected partition. I haven't tested if boot0hfs works with MBR yet.

maybe it's just for hybrid MBR (GPT with a FAT partition created by DU)

Still has the same problem, the following key doesn't shows the right Hardware UUID in System Profiler

That's how the override works. The Hardware ID you see in System Profiler is "generated" from the SystemID you put in com.apple.Boot.plist because it's not possible to inject the Hardware ID directly at the time when Chameleon works its magic. Rekursor explained this when he first implemented it, I'll try to find the thread.

Edit - found it:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1359776

Rek explains some more (after a big confusion on page 3)

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1368325

If you don't override the Hardware ID via com.apple.Boot.plist, it is generated automatically from an UUID in your motherboard BIOS. the code comes from AsereBLN: "Platform UUID is taken from the BIOS (UUID from SMBIOS Table 1). You can remove PlatformUUID.kext, SMUUID from smbios.plist and also System-ID from com.apple.Boot.plist." Link: http://www.efixusers.com/showthread.php?t=644

If your PCIRoot is 0 then you don't have to override it in com.apple.Boot.plist, 0 is the Chameleon default. You can safely delete that line.

Your Core 2 Quad appearing as Xeon is intended behavior. Apple never shipped a system with a Core 2 Quad, the Xeon is the closest match.

Chameleon RC5 mode with mem detection enabled and automatic P-States & C-States generation for native power managment
