Hooray, Enoch r2770 from the above post now boots Snow Leopard 10.6.8 without a problem....

SL 10.6.8 with Enoch 2770_Micky.png

Also OK with 10.7.5, 10.9.5, 10.10.5 & 10.11GM, 10.11.1beta: Only boot with -v, FakeSMC & VoodooPS2Controller kexts injected into kernelcache/PLK from /Extra/Extensions. I don't have 10.8.5 to test at the moment .

Thanks @Micky1979 .

Hi Micky,

Good job!

It works fine with 10.4.11, 10.5.8, 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.9.5, and 10.11.GM.

(without -f, keep SLE untouched, with /E/E/FakeSMC.kext, boot with prelinkedkernel and kernelcache)

But can't find Booter Extensions patch location with 10.8.5, and 10.10.5, and can't load /E/E/FakeSMC.kext as attached.

FYI.

Thanks to you!

I'm going to update my Yosemite installation to the latest 10.10.5 and try. For 10.8.5 I'll create an Installer ... and let you konw!

Well done dude ,

Work:

10.8.5 original kernel = Darwin Kernel Version 12.5.0: Sun Sep 29 13:33:47 PDT 2013; root:xnu-2050.48.12

Not work:

10.8.5 update kernel = Darwin Kernel Version 12.6.0: Wed Mar 18 16:23:48 PDT 2015; root:xnu-2050.48.19

10.10.5 original kernel = Darwin Kernel Version 14.5.0: Wed Jul 29 02:26:53 PDT 2015; root:xnu-2782.40.9

The patch code from Clover still works, but boot file doesn't work, it could be the database(#3453) of new patch method problem as blow.

not sure for 10.10.5, but for 10.8.5 should be ok

crazybirdy test this:boot.zip

not sure for 10.10.5, but for 10.8.5 should be ok

10.8.5 update kernel = Darwin Kernel Version 12.6.0: Wed Mar 18 16:23:48 PDT 2015; root:xnu-2050.48.19

10.8.5 update kernel works fine now as attached, 10.10.5 still doesn't work FYI.

Micky1979 · September 30, 2015

thanks crazybirdy :thumbsup_anim: I was not aware of 10.8.5 supplemental update!

Ok focused on 10.10.5 now...

Micky1979 · September 30, 2015

10.10.5 still doesn't work FYI.

Foud the error: missing a break;

I add a few things then let you try!

Micky1979 · September 30, 2015

10.10.5 fix:[removed]

For me works, and the patch is faster (less time to boot). Please report back!

EDIT

try the 2773 below

ErmaC · September 30, 2015

2773 is out!
Thx Micky1979 for the correction and all contributor to test it.

Micky1979 · September 30, 2015

everything looks super here with 2773

@Micky1979

Can you update the first page of this topic? pls... I'm very busy...

Cordially

Micky1979 · September 30, 2015

Sure, tomorrow my Friend

Bit Shoveler · October 1, 2015

Thanks for your continued efforts! I'm looking forward to installing El Capitan on my old Core 2 Quad Hack Pro.

Once all the source changes find their way into the trunk, I'll crank up the static analysis tools and report back.

crazybirdy · October 1, 2015

Great, works fine for all systems of 10.4.11 ~10.11.0. :thumbsup_anim:

(without -f, keep SLE untouched, with /E/E/FakeSMC.kext, boot with prelinkedkernel and kernelcache)

But not work with Reovery HD and Installer from createinstallmedia for all OSes here.

It could be the DMG mounting issue as attached (kernel patch works fine.). FYI.

bdmesg-2773.zip

Maybe someone else works fine. :yes:

i decided to try ElCap on my old hardware today and prepared USB stick by restoring BaseSystem.dmg.

Installed Enoch 2773 to the stick and copied latest FakeSMC under /E/E folder on stick, then tried to boot it with "-v -f" and got KP.

Also copied FakeSMC under /L/E folder and with "-v -f" and still KP.

Show us the picture of kernel panic (I hope is not for the FakeSMC)

But not work with Reovery HD and Installer from createinstallmedia for all OSes here.

I'll investigate, last time I tried was ok... let you know

ea dd · October 1, 2015

Show us the picture of kernel panic (I hope is not for the FakeSMC)

ok. here is screenshots

Pre-Kernel-Load sceens are here

and

Kernel-Load screens are here

and

tnx

Micky1979 · October 1, 2015

add CsrActiveConfig = 67 to the /Extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist of your installer/partition.

Also place kernel.plist.zip in /Extra/

crazybirdy · October 1, 2015

ok. here is screenshots

You need /Extra/kernel.plist auto-installed as picture shows.

will it patch /S/L/K/kernel?

tnx

Micky1979 · October 1, 2015

Yes, it will patch /S/L/K/kernel (so I hope you have extracted the rigth one), or it patch /System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel

Micky1979 · October 1, 2015

Guys here El Capitan final release wont install if the old Recovery HD is present... is the same for you?

tnx guyz. No KP now, but still have problem.

i followed both crazybirdy and Micky1979's tip and managed to solve KP. but stuck at some point here

So

<key>KernelBooter_kexts</key>
<string>Yes</string>

above kernel patch works and FakeSMC loaded from /E/E. screenshot is here

i think KernelPm makes no sense to my case. Tried both Yes and No.

Also i tried

<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x67</string>

and no succes yet. Maybe cham.boot syntax is wrong? screenshot is here

tnx

crazybirdy · October 1, 2015

Not know, I erase El partition firstly by using 10.9.5 disk utility which will remove recovery HD too.

tnx guyz. No KP now, but still have problem.

The boot file works fine to you,

your new problem seems to be graphic card's kext and cham.boot syntax issue, not the Chameleon boot file issue.

ok.

my cham.boot is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>GenerateCStates</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>GeneratePStates</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
	<string>0x67</string>
</dict>
</plist>

is CsrActiveConfig syntax wrong?

tnx

p.s.

i mean cham.boot as org.chameleon.Boot.plist

lazy nuff to type.
