Chameleon Wizard - Utility for Chameleon.

[Roman78]

I just installed it but unfortunally it won't boot right. I get the the bootloader, than the white apple and than a blue screen. And than nothing happends. I can only boot whit the -x option. What did i do wrong? I tried serval options but nothing helped.

 

I'm running 10.6.3 from iAtkos on an Asus P5LD2/1333 mainboard.

Feel free to make new HackPC based on 3rd gen of Intel "i" CPU.

You could simply download it from the official

Chameleon 2.1svn Official PKG Installer & Binarie thread, then install it via the Chameleon Wizard.app Folder on disk or Dropbox functionality.

 

Latest Trunk [PKG r2030] ==>

Chameleon-2.1svn-r2030.pkg.zip

I just build my own Chameleon from the svn. Save the following to a file called makechameleon.command (or whatever you like), make it executable (chmod +x) and double click it to run. It'll download the latest revision and build it. Then load the /trunk/sym/i386 folder into Chameleon Wizard to update.

 

#!/bin/bash -e
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
clear
svn co -r HEAD http://forge.voodooprojects.org/svn/chameleon/trunk
cd trunk
make clean
make

If you are referring to the Chameleon Wizard.app Buildbot update functionality, it is currently unavailable as it relies

on the http://builds.voodooprojects.org which has recently been running intermittently and is currently inactive.

Because buildbot is down from a long time I made a bash script that will download and compile the latest Chameleon trunk. Just click it twice.

All files will be saved in Chameleon_i386 folder on your desktop.

You can install those files with folder on disk tab in Chameleon Wizard. Of course you can remove them later.

You need Xcode with command line utils installed.

I don't have time to change the app now. But in the next version I think I will remove Buildbot tab and add Download and Compile tab instead.

When can we see all chameleon settings in your software, what I can see so is there more settings for the boot loader than there is in this great software

amazing application - used it to solve most of my issues (video) with my Dell Studio XPS 1340 Hackint0sh laptop - now only if i can get the battery and power management solved in Snow Leopard.

Besides what's included in boothelp.txt, you can find most settings inside boot.h in the Chameleon source code:

Is this app still being updated?

[janek202]

What features are missing?

[Dajjal]

Is there plans to add the Newer SMBios's ?

[janek202]

If you post them I will add them.

I couldn't find proper SMSerial etc.

[MacKonsti]

Dear janek, a useful fix to add to Chameleon Wizard's kernel flags is:

ahcidisk=1 debug=8

(must go both together, separately they won't work)

 

If some Ivy Bridge H6xx chipsets fail to boot fast, this weird flag speeds up the process. Worked on mine, but eventually used a patch to modify the IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext.

 

The finding was reported by user bcc9 here:

http://www.insanelym...x/#entry1830059

 

This has to do with "a nasty time-dependent bug in 10.8.x" specially related to Ivy Bridge chipsets (like my H61N) and also solves some "waiting for root device" issues.

 

For your consideration ;-)

Credits go to bcc9 of course.

@ janek202

 

Unfortunately i dont have info that can be useful besides some geekbench entries for the supposedly new Mac Mini's.Those with OS version 10.8.1 has me skeptical.Other than that, the New iMac's carry 13,1/13,2 Model identifier

Thank you for your efforts on this GREAT app. I have used it a lot. I am trying to migrate to Clover boot loader and was wondering if you had any plans to release a Clover Wizard. I think with the complexity of that bootloader a wizard is greatly needed.

 

Thanks in advance

Liquid Ice, Janek202 doesn't have time right now but I started working on the Clover Wizard. GUI is ready but adding all the options will take me a long time because I just starting to play with xcode.

[Stellair]

Janek, how to recreate a org.chameleon.boot.plist because I did a restore of my Lion data and now the wizard cannot find any org.chameleon.boot.plist and smbios.plist file. Where are they and how can my machine boot then?

I look forward to your new app! Keep up the hard work.
