badname Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Finally got triple boot working on a p5q3 using 10,000 different guides at the same time this is the only thing that wont work im guessing its something with chameleon because if i boot from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] supported cd, i see all the drives tried reinstalling chameleon tried rc3 rc4 and tried reinstalling using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] initial install using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and 10.6 retail ,upgraded to 10.6.4 have both jmicron36xxATA and jmicron36xxSATA kexts im assuming its something simple have 4 drives 3 sata 1 ata all show up in chameleon, but not in osx after boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 If the IDE HD works when you boot using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], but not when using Chameleon from HD, there must be an ATA kext in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] that is not in the HD. Try booting with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] then run a "kextstat" in terminal and look for ATA kexts in use.

oldnapalm Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I guess you only need the AppleVIAATA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badname Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 beautiful everything seems to work thanks lots, that was pretty painless now to enable ntfs writing and a new chameleon theme and a complete backup of the entire drive so i never have to do any of this again (on this machine at least) thank you all once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
