Hey Guys,

I've ran into some problems when installing Linux on my OSX Drive.
I have 2 Drives:
1 500GB GPT Drive with only Mountain Lion installed
1 1TB MBR Drive for Windows and Data

yesterday I've tried installing Linux(in detail Ubuntu 12.04) on a second partition on the GPT Drive. I've used the --no-bootloader switch on ubiquity for protecting my chameleon install. Problem is now that Chameleon won't detect the new Ubuntu install whether ext4,ext3 or ext2 filesystem. This obviously refers to the missing grub2 bootloader of the Linux drive, but wouldn't be chameleon erased if I install grub2?
Any thoughts/ideas how to solve this mess are very appreciated.

Thanks in advance maltba

Hey Guys,

need some help with editing the Motmot Personality under Mountain Lion. I've successfully managed it to get my dual monitor setup working on 10.7. But to edit the ATI4800Controller.kext on 10.8 i need the address of the Motmot Connector Table. The script i've normally used to get that address(ati-personality.pl) doesn't seem to work anymore on 10.8 due to the change in naming the Binary inside the kext( it changed from ATI4800Controller to AMD4800Controller).

Is there some skilled Perl Developer out there who can edit the file to fit the new naming standard?
Or if not is there someone who could provide me with the output of this script under lion? So that i can simply hex search for the connector info and get the address by this. i can't do this because i don't have the original ATI4800Controller.kexts for Lion anymore.

Thanks in Advance maltba

Hey Guys,

need some help with my Mountain Lion Installation.
I have a very smooth running 10.7.3 with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and a custom Personality for dual Monitor Support.

System specs are:

Rampage II Extreme
Intel i7 920
Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 2GB

Current Custom Kexts in 10.8 are:
FakeSMC - some old version don't know if it ever got updated but it works fine in lion
IONetworkingFamily\Yukon2.kext
IOBlockStorage - some patched plist for proper detection of the ICH10R chipset


My problem is that the GraphicsEnabler simply does not inject the card into 10.8. I am not able to get to the login screen with GraphicsEnabler=Yes.
If i boot with GraphicsEnabler=No then OS X is loading some generic NV50HAL driver which only gives me 1440x900 Resolution w/o QE/CL. This behaviour is also different from Lion, where even when GraphicsEnabler=No the right driver is picked but because of the wrong standard personality the dual monitors aren't working.
Does anybody else ran into that problem and might give me a hint what i'm doing wrong?

If you need more information i will be happily answer your questions.



thanks in advance
