razr1983 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I have used the retail pre-boot method to install Snow Leopard from the DVD. I installed it on an external USB hard drive. Installation failed at the end saying it can't set the start up drive so I am using the pre-boot cd to boot into Snow Leopard. So far so good... However when I try to install chameleon on my hdd it fails. I am not sure what exactly fails because when I try to boot directly from the hdd chameleon appears and after a few seconds it causes a kernel panic (the screen that explains in 50 languages how to shut down your computer?). Any suggestions? thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razr1983 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 so... after 6 hours straight research... installed chameleon using OSx86 Tools... maybe it had the right bootloader. I haven't slept for ages now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivekg Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Did osX86 tools fix your problem. I have the same problem, chameleon failed to install and on boot i get the kernal panics, the sad thing is i put a small 20gb harddrive in my machine and chameleon installed onto that and SL will boot fine from this drive. I realy don't want another drive in my system just so i can use chameleon so im looking for the solution to why it wont install. I tried osX86 tools but this didn't work for my. Any Ideas. Cheers Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
