bgrubb7 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 I update the and now I get this when I try to reboot into SnowLeopard... is it not back compatible? Hope I didn't eff up my system... not that it would be hard to start over or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 If you haven't updated Chameleon from the ModUSB installation, that is definitely your issue; that version is too old. Use this. Just run a standard install. Not sure what you mean? i thinki confused dsdts with someoenelses. seems he has root uid 0 when in dsdt shows 0x04. try this dsdt as a start i think if u specify pci rootuid 4 it might load without the dsdt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 So type PCIRootUID=4 at the boot prompt. There seems to be an ATi framebuffer error...not quite sure about that. Looks like a memory allocation issue for your graphics card...odd enough. I'll see what I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgrubb7 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Finally got back to working on this... The PCIRootUID=4 didn't change anything (neither did trying 1,2 or 3). Out of sheer boredom, and since I couldn't even boot back into Snow Leopard, I decided to just start over. I reinstalled Snow Leopard from scratch, updated to 10.6.8, added the npci=0x2000 to my bootlist, updated the Chameleon, created my Lion boot partition and now this is where I am at... at least I am getting past that Memory Allocation Error in my previous pic.

PookyMacMan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Same issue for both - exactly what Latin said, your data controller is not being loaded. Are you booting with or without arch=i386? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgrubb7 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Same issue for both - exactly what Latin said, your data controller is not being loaded. Are you booting with or without arch=i386? I am now! arch=i386 got me back into SL... Yay! that was one of the flags I added to my boot.plist after the 10.6.8 updte, but now I see that I lost the use of that once I updated the Chameleon. However, when I try to boot into the Lion install partition, using that same flag, I end up here. That's some progress, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 bad kexts for Lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 bad kexts for Lion Which ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 well i saw applebcm4xxx in there. .that needs max_valid_dma_addr=1024. many issues likely cause of install source or changes. imac8,1 smbios.plist might not help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was from the ModUSB install... I think that's what it picked after detecting my Integrated Ethernet... I'll try that flag at boot to see if it helps me get into the Lion install partition... Actually I just scored a free Nvidia 7300 GS. If I can get QE/CI to work with it in Snow Leopard, I'll be happy leaving this machine at 10.6.8, while I collect components for a proper Lion build down the road.

PookyMacMan Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 7300 GS may also work in Lion...I'd have to check. Some Geforce 7xxx cards work... Try typing GraphicsEnabler=Yes to enable QE/CI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 7300 works in x86 not x64 that i know of 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Very good to know. Thanks Latin. So basically you can have QE/CI if you boot with arch=i386. Unfortunately, no x86_64, but if you boot with -force64 arch=i386 you should be able to get 64-bit userspace on it (just 32-bit kernel and extensions).

bgrubb7 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 OK QE/CI Working! I tried several injector kexts, but the only one I could get to work was NVEnabler 0.1.kext. Installed using Kext Wizard, then used the wizard to rebuild the mkext and now I am in business... Front Row, Dashboard Ripples, resolution change... even SLEEP! hmm... maybe now I might give that Lion install another try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgrubb7 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 HUGE THANKS to Pooky and Latin for sticking with me through this thread! Wouldn't have gotten this far without your help! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
