Swapped disk boot order in bios, now chameleon cant boot OSX

[Tamed G]

Hi guys,

 

I have 2 physical hard drives in my laptop

 

Disk0 - Win 7

Disk1 - OSX 10.6.4

 

I installed Chameleon 2 RC4 when Disk0 was the first hard drive in the boot order in the bios, but instead of the windows bootloader showing on startup I wanted Chameleon to show. So I changed the disk boot order in the Bios so the Disk1 boots first and now sure enough Chameleon shows first - so far so good.

 

I can choose the windows 7 disk and boot it from the Chameleon menu easily enough, but if I choose the OSX disk (disk1) it just comes back with the error..

 

'can't find'

 

at the top of the Chameleon screen, how do I fix this so I can launch OSX again from Chameleon?

 

note:All disks boot fine when chosen from the Chameleon bootloader on my Empire EFi startup CD

Your post is a little unclear so forgive me if I am not answering the right question.

 

It sounds like chameleon and Windows 7 work fine, and OSX works when booted from the EFI CD.

 

If that is the case Then it means OSX does not have the necessary kexts to boot. If you are not familiar with kexts a simple way is using a program called [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. This tutorial has a download:

open the software and check the box on these kexts:

In future do a little more reading before posting. This fix is pretty basic, and it's what allows a hackintosh to work, but no worries I did the same when I was first learning .

Thanks, yep I figured it out in the end, it was a missing file I had missed.
