Well but i am using SL on logical partition and its booting fine from rc3.

Maybe Chameleon (not the OS, just the boot loader) is installed in a primary partition? It doesn't even start if installed in a extended partition, at least never worked for me.

You don't need r759 (exactly), can be any version newer than that.

ok, I have created mine installer (raid software) with Package Maker, with the r769, you want to see?

The r769 is compatible with Snow and Lion ?

Yes, I used it with Snow and Lion. I don't use RAID though.

Why you don't use ?
You don't have a software raid 0 ?

After the restoration, open the restored partition, navigate to System/Installation, delete the Packages link and create a folder with the same name, Packages.

This I can not. Why can it be?

Thanks for the reply, MaLd0n. I have and still the same. Do not leave the option to move to the Trash. What I can do? Edit. After three or four tries, I succeeded. Thanks again.

windows 7 is primary my document is extended partion and is logical along with lion and SL AND NON MENTIONED BEING UBUNTU ALL INSTALLED ON LOGICAL EXTENTION OF MY Document which i made later after i start playing with hackintosh i keep partioning it also for ubuntu same and for lion being the last?

This explains it all, you are using GRUB to load Chameleon's boot.

It would not work if you had Chameleon's boot0 (MBR) - boot1h (extended partition) - boot (extended partition).

Quote

The original boot0 code has support for logical partitions, but to be able to support GPT+MBR partitioned disks using a single boot0 code, we removed the extended partiton support. Maybe an ultimate ASM pro could implement all in 440 bytes

In your case you may try to use another primary boot loader and chainload your hfs+ partition by adding a new chainload entry in grub or add a chain0 entry in boot.ini when using NT loader or simply add a new OS X entry with EasyBCD - this will install chain0 by itself.

I'm having problems booting the installer USB stick.  I have tried several different USB sticks, including a USB WD Passport Drive.  No problem preparing the USB devices but when I try to boot, my system freezes during the BIOS post sequence.

BIOS POST Sequence as follows:
I see CPUID (XXXXX) PATCHID (XXXXXX)
Then the boot sequence stops...no error messages, it just stops loading.
Next I should see memory testing...etc. etc.
I don't it just hangs.

This happens (freezes) whenever the installer USB is plugged in.  

I have tried various RC5 versions including the one linked from post #1.  In fact if I install everything but the bootloader on the installer USB my system will POST and start normally, the freezing doesn't occur.  Obviously I can't boot Mac OS X Base System but at least my system will POST and start SL.

This happens on both my gigabyte boards.  P55-UD2 and my P55-UD4.  They are similar systems but they have different GPUs and CPUs.

Is there any way to install without using the famous iBoot? I am not able to install the lion in the partition.

This method doesn't use iBoot.

How far do you get?  Are you still stuck at deleting the packages link?

No idea, it should work.

Did you replace the "boot" file by a recent one? (RC5 r759 or newer)
