Some Chameleon and Graphics Problems

[kaliberx]

I got 10.7 installed perfectly, but now somehow the Extra or org.chameleon.boot.plist don't gets recognized completely.

 

 

It ignores my settings about graphics enabler and npci.

 

I can use both fine at boot with npci=0x02000 and GraphicsEnabler=yes, but if it comes to use these two in org.chameleon.boot.plist it doesn't works.

 

I tried both known Ways as you can see here :

 

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
 <string>Yes</string>
 <key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
 <string>Yes</string>
 <key>Kernel</key>
 <string>mach_kernel</string>
 <key>Kernel Flags</key>
 <string>npci=0x2000</string>
 <key>SMBIOS</key>
 <string>/Extra/smbios.plist</string>
 <key>UseKernelCache</key>
 <string>Yes</string>

 

or

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
 <True/>
 <key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
 <True/>
 <key>Kernel</key>
 <string>mach_kernel</string>
 <key>Kernel Flags</key>
 <string>npci=0x2000</string>
 <key>SMBIOS</key>
 <string>/Extra/smbios.plist</string>
 <key>UseKernelCache</key>
 <True/>

 

 

Anone a Idea what i'm doing wrong here ? .

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

PS: Device String was added too, to NVDAGF100.kext : 0x124410de&0xffc0ffff

 

Used Chameleon : Build 1618, with the fixes for 10.7.2

SystemVersion : Still 10.7.1, i'm to scared to try the update to 10.7.2

 

System :

 

I5-750

8 GB Ram

Geforce GTX550Ti

My tip: rename org.chameleon.boot.plist to org.chameleon.Boot.plist

(I have B there, don't know if this change anything, but you can try it)

[kaliberx]

Ohh was just a Typo here in the Forum from my Side. The Name on the System has the correct spelling and is case-sensitive .

Same here.

 

After Update to 10.7.2 the EXTRA folder is not beeing found by the kext utility or other tool, it's there but not more hidden.

 

lion work perfectly, that the strange thing !

 

Does anybody knows the problem ?

[kaliberx]

Well the only Problem i really do have is :

 

Boot ignores as example the GraphicsEnabler settings in org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

It just runs fine With using it per

GraphicsEnabler=yes

at the bootparams.

 

 

Here is my System :

zip and attach your com.apple.Boot.plist, I'll fix it for you. Use the full editor to attach files.

Here :

 

I rared both files , including :

 

com.apple.Boot.plist from Library/Preferences/....

 

and

 

org.chameleon.Boot.plist from /Extra

Boot.plist..rar

[Gringo Vermelho]

Created using Apple's plist editor from never-edited vanilla com.apple.Boot.plist:

Boot.plists.zip

Don't add the same flags to both. Leave the one in /blabla/SystemConfiguration untouched (replace it with the one in the attached archive) and use only /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

 

Apple plists are UTF-8 formatted XML files. Using the wrong editor can corrupt their formatting, causing errors.

 

If your issues are caused by corrupted plists, they should be fixed now. If not then I have no idea.

When you upgrade Chameleon, don't just replace /boot with one from the newer version. You need to install the other two files (boot0/boot1h or whatever you use) as well.

Didnt worked, but i tried to reinstall a newer Version (1630) and dang it worked with recreating a new Extra Folder and Files. Dunno what exactly went wrong there. Anyways System is up.

 

Thanks for the Help
