cmdshft Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Installed, working great! However, didn't appear to detect my Ubuntu 8.10 installation... Loving the ability to use new Apple logo's for the boot graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitee Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Installed, working great! However, didn't appear to detect my Ubuntu 8.10 installation... Loving the ability to use new Apple logo's for the boot graphic. works perfectly on GUID partition, EP35-DSL3L, previously using munky's method and kext's from Delicious Soup thread (some updated). Ubuntu 8.10 shows up (on a different drive), as well as Windows 7 (also on different drive). Also my backup drive shows up, maybe they could only add drives that are bootable? And for when people come looking, this is how I installed it: download file unzip file open up terminal cd / mkdir /Volumes/EFI; mount_hfs /dev/disk<drive>s1 /Volumes/EFI; cd /Volumes/EFI mkdir Extra; cp -R /Volumes/EFI/Extensions /Volumes/EFI/Extra if you have a modified com.apple.Boot.plist, cp it to /Volumes/EFI cd into Chameleon download directory (cd ~/Desktop/Chameleon-2.0RC1-r408-bin) cp -R smbios.plist Themes /Volumes/EFI/Extra sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk<drive> sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk<drive>s2 sudo cp boot /Volumes/EFI umount /Volumes/EFI reboot Where <drive> is a number 1+, you can find in disk utility by right clicking on a parition and clicking information.

trus0und Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 can anyone confirm for me whether this works with the windows 7 beta?? or does it corrupt the install? Id love to get off of vista and onto 7 and this would be insanely good if i could!! thanks alot guys, flash EDIT: I see that guy above said it detected win7, was that on a seperate drive or same hdd?

elitee Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 EDIT: I see that guy above said it detected win7, was that on a seperate drive or same hdd? It's on a separate hard drive, OSX is on one by itself, so is Ubuntu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trus0und Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 @elitee: Thanks dude, no problem. Does anyone know how i might go about this with one hard disk? -flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitee Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 @elitee: Thanks dude, no problem. Does anyone know how i might go about this with one hard disk? -flash I assume you're not booting off of the EFI partition (if you're using GUID), so you'd pretty much follow the readme and activate the OSX partition, and hope it works.

trus0und Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I was using the efi partition not long ago and then had to change because of the inabilty to boot windows off of rdisk0s1 before now. I need windows for some things and im sick of my p4 laptop. Win 7 id like to go with but ive had troubles with the boot sector going mental and saying that a neccessary device is missing or something because windows 7 boots differently than other windows (This happens after install chameleon). Abit off topic sorry, but if anyone has win7 on the same hdd and is using cham2rc1 id love to know how! thanks again -flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M0rpheus Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 This works fine on my MBR Leopard 10.5.6 retail install. It sees the other discs in my system too, but won't boot my Windows 7 installation. Says the bootloader is missing. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netkas Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 suggestion for developers - do not enable vga text mode after osx partition was choosed to boot and before kernel runs.(in verbose boot mode) in other words, can verbose bootloader outputs it's verbose messages to vesa console ? it would be nice to see output in some subwindow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netkas Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 instructions is in readme, in archieve, u need to install boot1h and boot/ ================================ btw, you dont need to install smbios.plist if you are ok with what booter set by default, u may need to correct memspeed and serialnumber with smbios.plist, that's all, rest of aluse in default smbios.plist might mess up system profiler a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
