Post the contents of your com.apple.Boot.plist. What kernel are you using now? Run terminal.app and type uname -a at the promt. Post the output here.

Post the output here. currently using Darwin Kernel Version 10.4.0 64bit the plist in the usbboot/extra folder looks like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"><dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>1</string> </dict></plist> thanks for the help!

Gringo Vermelho Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Did you manually install a different kernel on your system drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbook Pro Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Did you manually install a different kernel on your system drive? no, I didnt mess with anything. I think its just in the root directory. I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] nvidia to install os, and now im booting from an internal usb drive loaded with chameleon 2.0 rc4 and pc efi 10.x I thought i remember the documentation for chameleon mentioning saying it uses a non vanilla kernel. is the kernel on my OSX install "/mach_kernel" the vanilla one? or did chameleon replace it? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The Chameleon boot loader does not come with a kernel, and does not do anything to the kernel you have installed. It comes with some kernel extensions though. I am not familiar with "[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] nvidia", I suppose it's possible that it comes with a modified kernel. If you do what I asked you to in my first reply I can tell you whether your kernel is vanilla or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
