Detosx Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Having googled, I haven't found anyone with a similar partition set up to mine -- EFIv8/vista32/kalway OS X/kalyway OSX/ on a GUID partition table - and I am having problems installing Chameleon on it, either using Zeff's installer or 0SX86Tools installer. If I install it to the first OS X partition and make it active, I am left with a blinking cursor on boot. I then have to resort to using iATKOSv4 DVD, F8 -S and then then the Darwin command to return things to how they were. Same problem if I do the same with the second OSX partition. Worse, the vista partition, though repaired, no longer shows on the OSX desktop and 'Foreign boot' is no longer listed on the bootloader, though the blank Vista entry boots. Any pointers welecome.

Detosx Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you're trying to get back to Darwin loader EFIv8, you need in this instance the iATKOSv4 installer DVD. At boot from the DVD, press F8, enter -s wait. Enter the word Darwin and then follow the prompts. I install to the first OS X partition. You might find that you need to repair Vista, also. I apparently need to be running Chameleon to get Voodoo 9.5.0 beta2c kernel working properly. No takers on my Chameleon problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a lot of Googling I found a thread where people were having the same problem. Pcwiz suggested they use the earlier version of his 0SX86 Toos (version 1.0.149), which did the job for me - though hasn't solved my voodoo 9.5.0 beta2c kernel problem, video running too fast on a dual-core pentium T2230 - except - the entry for Vista, which was no longer showing up as Foreign Boot post a recent repair but the blank entry in the boot loader still allowed me to boot into it, has vanished. Any idea how I would get that back? Many thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
