Can you please describe with more details the following points: - [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] - can you show which options are selected - Chameleon - same as above, can you show the options you have selected. - boot replace. I have used command "sudo cp boot /" from directory where I had unzipped the boot.zip file. Was this correct? Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers.

ditbonjour Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi all, I have the same problem as Ralph67 No problem during all the installation , but on the last reboot like Ralph67 black sreen and nothing!

Zarkinjo Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 hi guys. the first time I restarted i got a weird scrambled screen, photo in attachment. but then i restarted again and there it was, full hd with qe/ci Pavel, is your internet working over wifi? Mine just says that it has self-assigned ip address, and that it cannot connect to the internet. but i can see all the wireless networks in range and connect to mine. i read in an older thread that this is because this kext doesn't support n wireless routers, but later they said it was fixed in new IO80211.Family.kext or sl 10.6.5. can't remember exactly.

ralph67 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks Pavol for the screen capture for [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. But sadly it is still not working. I restarted the whole procedure again (from formatted 2nd hard drive) and at the final reboot, I still get the black screen. I have tried to boot from the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] cd also, and when I select the OSX drive, it never leaves the apple logo screen even after 15 min loading... The only thing I can think of is a difference in hardware. My laptop model is G73JH-TZ008V with bios 211. What's yours Pavol? One thing I have noticed is that the original boot file has not the same icon as your boot file. Is this something of importance or not? Anyhow, thanks help again. I'll continue to share my progress Cheers, RalPh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: I have ASUS G73JH-TY089V ID:1A BIOS: 206 Maybe another stupid question but after all installations and before last reboot did you repair permissions with Kext Utility????? P.

thisismefoo Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Anyone that is getting the BLACK SCREEN: Have you tried typing, "GraphicsEnabler"=No during the Chameleon boot screen before it boots into the OS? That fixed the problem for me. I have a Gigabyte 5870 2GB card that would go black and the fan would kick on to 100% whenever GE=Yes. If you change this and it works, make sure you go into the /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist and change this: <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> to this: <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>No</string> Save over it and you should be safe to restart with no issues.
