A better way to boot?


11 posts in this topic

Right now, I need my flash drive (with chameleon) to get into Snow Leopard.

 

Is there anyway to install Chameleon on the hDD that 10.6 is installed on so that I can just:

 

Boot up

Change RAID to AHCI in BIOS

Restart into 10.6

 

Thanks.

Have you tried Dr Hurt boot installer or anyone's boot installer that puts Chameleon 2.0 r 5 or ubuntu bootloader

No I have not.

 

I'll give that a try seeing there was an error with installing Chameleon.

Unless you use a distro you can't install Chamaleon during installation.

Try to look into the retail installation guides, which will give you a better insight as to how to install OSX and Chameleon.

 

Since you have a bootable flash drive, all you have to do is to follow the same steps that you'd followed while creating that usb flash drive but this time you have to install and copy all necessary kexts to the partition on which you install OSX.

 

Then you will no londer need that usb flash drive to boot into OSX.

 

Good Luck,

Do you have another OS on this drive? I am wondering why you need to go into the BIOS and set AHCI.

 

If you do have another on the drive, the question should be how to set up dual booting.

I have osx on my 320GB HDD.

 

I have Win7 64bit on two 250GB HDDs in RAID.

 

I have to switch to RAID when booting to Win7, and switch to AHCI when booting in osx.

Whats the Error?

Why install Chameleon through Terminal? There is a package to do it all for you! You can even use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] that does it all for you. Try [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] its the easiest way.

I'll get back to you on specifically what the error was.

 

I need to install chameleon through terminal as it is the only version that supports Fermi so far and it has no installer.
