@ JonnyFikCock

Glad to have helped and that you got it all sorted but did you check if it was not  just as matter of making the original OS X MLion partition active as I explained in post #27 before you did a clean re-install of MLion......?

For easy booting of Windows 7, I use EasyBCD v2.x as my boot manager in Windows, as I have Windows and OS X and Linux on separate HDDs......

MTLion and Win7 runs perfect now with Chameleon as bootloader!! Thanks

And i checked what you said, but it doesnt really help, because fdisk printed very weired informations about the disks, none of my disks had partitions and some disks had negative count of cylinders...very weird, so i decided to delete my main hdd, now all works great!!

good news:
i'm writting this from MTLion :-) thx verdant

what i've done now:
disconnected all USB devices except my USB Drive, boot to OSX installation, plugged in keyboard and mouse and formated my hdd (1. MTLion 2. Windows) and installed OSX on it
after installation booted again in the installation but i opened terminal and copied all the stuff i need (kext and so on) to MTLion, reboot with USB Drive but then selected my MTLion hdd...it works! installed bootloader and now i can boot with no problems :-) (only Sound dont work, but i have a Idea how to solve it)

now i'm going to install windows and hope that can boot back in OSX sometimes :-)

soooo much thanks to verdant!!!

a little step forward:
I disconnected ALL USB devices except my USB Drive, after booting and when the installer apears i connected my mouse and started the installation...works fine
booted back in Lion and done the last few steps, reboot but i cant boot.
and here i think is the Problem:
i have 1 HDD for the System: 1 partition is Lion and the 2 ist MT-Lion

i think i have to delete the hole HDD and put MT-Lion in the front of the HDD, but the Problem is, if this doesnt work, i dont have any MacOSX to modify the boot sequence and the next problem is i cant boot into Lion to install chamelon
or is it possible to boot from the USB drive into my installation of MT-Lion...because i think that was the way i've done it the last time

Glad you like the guide....... :)

If you have not already done so, try the following:

1. Transfer ALL kexts in /Extra/Extensions/ to /System/Library/Extensions/, leaving /Extra/Extensions/ empty.

2. Modify your org.chameleon.Boot.plist file to include

<key>UseKernelCache</key>
  <string>Yes</string>

3. Reset /System/Library/Extensions/ kext ownership and permissions and force kernelcache re-creation via these Terminal commands:
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions/

4. For good measure, manually delete the kernelcache and other cache files in /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/

5. Reboot into OS X 10.7.3.........and use Disk Utility to repair system permissions......

no luck with this steps :-(

you have other advices for me? i dont see my Problem...

UHCIreset=No
but none of them helped me, maybe you have an idea
