hughythomas Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Just installed Chameleon on an already working 10.6.2 (which WAS bootthink) but I forgot to put any kexts into the extras folder (facepalm). Is there any way to force Chameleon to boot from disk? I can restore to a time machine backup if I could just boot into the SL installer (I have a vanilla CD here).

beermacht Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 i've never seen the cd drive in chameleon use a usb pendrive with all the data you need - better than a cd/dvd and you could always insert some stuff Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/204319-can-i-force-chameleon-to-boot-from-cd/#findComment-1371135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Chameleon installed to HDD cannot boot from CD/DVD. You can however make a Chameleon boot CD that can boot Vanilla install DVDs "PlayStation 2 swap-trick" style, or your existing OS X install on HDD. With a little luck someone has posted a Chameleon or Boot-132 boot CD image for your motherboard that you can use to boot your install. Search.

hughythomas Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 OK thanks for that I just ended up reinstalling SL in the end.

Beerkex'd Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 You should make a Chameleon boot CD that can boot your current install. It takes 5 minutes and can save you from having to reinstall in the future. There's a tutorial over at the VoodooProjects forum.
