puciak Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hello, I have HP Probook 6550b with i5 450M and Intel HD Graphics. I installed SL10.6 and updated it to 10.6.8 (previously I deleted all graphic kexts, because now my SL only works in VESA mode). I installed newest Chameleon on pendrive. Previously I installed it on OSX partition (third, after EFI and partition with Installation DVD) and it wasn't working (reboot after selecting OSX). But let's move to the heart of the problem Now booting process stops at acpi_smc_platformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement) timed out I tried flags: -v -x PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No cpus=1 busratio=18 (right for my CPU) arch=i386 and maybe some others, but to no avail. I also removed AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement.kext (I have NullCPU). I set SMBIOS to Macbook Pro 6,1, then to 8,1 but with no result. I read that it's because of graphics, but I can boot my OSX with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. What is the main difference between these two bootloaders? (sorry for my English) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 You need to find out what's on the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD that makes it work for you. Mount the RAM disk image (preboot.dmg or initrd.img) on the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD, examine the kernel extensions used, its com.apple.Boot.plist and smbios.plist etc etc. Try using the kernel extensions and settings from the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD on the Chameleon installation on your hard drive. Don't just copy everything in blindly, keep in mind that boot CDs like [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] are meant to be used for installation on a wide variety of hardware - there might be settings and kernel extensions on it that will prevent certain things (graphics acceleration, CPU power management) from working right, in order to increase compatibility during the installation process.

puciak Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 So I adjusted my Bios.plist and smbios to iBoots ones. I extracted Extensions.mkext from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and when I had copied some kexts to Extra/Extensions folder, all (or almost all) of them are failed to load (during boot). It looks like this: sorry for bad quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Don't use the mkext, try with just the kernel extensions in /Extra/extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puciak Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Problem solved. I don't know why now it's working. Previously FakeSMC was failed to load. Now it loads ok and system boots. Thanks for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
