  • Internal audio working. Although it does tend to pop a bit. I'll probably buy an USB DAC. Any recommendations?
It depends on your demands. Goto the first page. dlach has linked to an usb audio adapter.

  • ... Any hints regarding the intel thermal kext? Maybe a method for finding offending kexts?
All kexts have to be installed in /S/L/E to use option "UseKernelCache" in chameleon, IntelCPUmonitor.kext too (not inside FakeSMC). But IntelCPUmonitor depends on FakeSMC, so don't use a newer version of it. The pair inside my boot stick should work.

  • ... Any recommendations for a fast compatible PCIe SATA3 card?
Maybe you will be frustrated about this: The PCIe x1 slot conforms to PCIe 1.0 - so you will have no benefit using the slot for a SATA3 controller card.
Haven't a clue, if such a card will work in the graphic slot and - much more important - if you can boot in this configuration.
To be honest I would spend my money in view of this board.

Hi andersson.j,

chameleon-rev2050.zip is for a persistent HD installation of the boot loader (no need of the boot stick). Suppose this is what you want and assume the downloaded and unzipped file is in your Downloads folder - follow these steps:
1. plugin your Boot Stick (should be mounted automaticly)
2. fire up Terminal.app (will ask you for your Password after the first sudo command)
sudo cp -R /Volumes/ChameleonBoot/Extra /
sudo chown -R root:wheel /Extra
sudo chmod -R 755 /Extra
sudo mv /Extra/Extensions/* /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions


... and now comes the installation of chameleon itself, assume your OSX is on first disk (/dev/rdisk0) and first partition (/dev/rdisk0s2) - otherwise you have to change the numbers (check it with DiskUtility.app)
cd Downloads/chameleon-rev2050
sudo ./fdisk440 -f boot0md -u -y /dev/rdisk0
sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2
sudo cp boot /


... and finally you have to edit the file org.chameleon.boot.plist
sudo nano -w /Extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist

Here you have to change the key Default Partition to hd(0,2), the key GraphicsEnabler to No and add the key UseKernelCache

<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,2)</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>


That's it. Reboot without Boot stick. If it fails, try to boot with the Option -f (ignore caches).

For audio (with toleda's kext):
Fire up Terminal.app
sudo mv /Extra/additional/DSDT-sound-toleda.aml /Extra/DSDT.aml

I would advise to try out the multi b. thing. Download the app and open. Be aware you have ONLY check the box ALC889a/885 in the "with DSDT" section during installation.
Reboot.

Good luck!

@ Warped
Thanks for the information.

@ andersson.j
Can you post a link to the tutorial used to create the ML stick?
