No, you need to edit the smbios.plist within the /Extra directory

Since I have a feeling that another "how do I..." is probably coming, here, I made one for you. Just unzip it and put it in the /Extra folder on your installer partition.

GivIng up for today, been at this for 5 days now im mentaly exhausted.

I hae snow leopard on a seperate disk

Mountain lion is installed but i cant get the bootloader to run.

no CDs, Install newest Chameleon to the volume your new install is on and copy the /Extra folder with SMbios in it along with whatever else is in it, from your installer partition over to the new installation too. U should be fine at that point

i'm so close, just seems everytime i overcome something another thing pops up

i got the bootloader working like you said

It loaded to the grey apple, there was some activity then panic. i booted verbose and thats a screen of it

[JamesLittler]

Common error. Google AppleTnyMCEDriver kernel panic

[eep357]

Luckily I don't ever have that problem, but it is common, removing AppleTyMCEDriver.kext should take care of it

[JamesLittler]

I never have an issue with it either.
It is only loaded on systems which has EEC memory correction, changing your system identifier or deleting as eep said can bypass this error.

[princetofu]

ok i removed that kext in single user mode

now it doesn't KP, it goes to the grey apple and spinner but just hangs there until i press the power button to kill it then throws up a KP

heres screens of verbose

You have a graphics issue.
The NTFS line is the last thing you see before the GUI loads.

Boot with
-v GraphicsEnabler=No

This should get you to your desktop but with no hardware acceleration.
If that doesn't work add -x to it and boot to safe mode.
