I have everything finally installed and working with iAtkos v7 except kernel.

Now I discovered the kernel 9.5.7 I choose during install was not right one.

I found out my CPU (E8200) supports Vanilla.

How do I now switch to Vanilla without clean reinstall?

I tried to remove the word "custom" from com.apple.boot.plist - no luck.

Chameleon2 bootloader does not respond to F8 key and does not open the black screen.

There is no where to type any commands and no help.

 

Do I have to type mach_kernel instead of custom? I can access the OSX partition from XP to revert wrong changes.

 

My plist file looks like this:

 

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>Custom</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string></string>

<key>Boot Graphics</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Quiet Boot</key>

<string>No</string>

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>5</string>

<key>device-properties</key>

I made clean reinstall and now the com.apple.boot.plist states

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

So it was that easy, wasn't it?

 

The thing why my machine did not start after I put this manually was I had not enabled AHCI mode for sata and head Execute disable bit disabled since it led to constant Explorer shutdowns when movie file was selected under XP.
