so, i got my install up and running on my new AMD Hexa-core with iDeneb as a backup install. I wanted to install Chameleon RC5 to my EFI partition and try to get a retail osx 10.6 working. I found a installer HERE (2nd post from top) but it doesn't have a "Install to EFI" option like some installers do, but it can be used to install to a OSX partition. So i dismantled the .PKG with the "unPKG" app, but i could not find any binaries, such as boot0 or boot1h in the PKG.

 

so i was wondering do any of you fellow insanelymac members have the binaries (boot0 etc.) for Chameleon 2 RC5 prerelease 8 or whatever the latest is? if not could you help me compile the chameleon RC5 sources to get the binaries.

 

Thanks!!

 

PS: you've never had a mac if you haven't had a hexa-core mac. (its super fast!!!!)

UPDATE: i have used the RC4 version for now but when i try to boot my retail install (first time) it sits a chameleon screen then reboots. i told it to use the modbin kernel since i have a AMD CPU and i got all the right kexts. my boot.plist in /E/E/ it looks like this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//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></string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key> 
<string>1280x1024x32</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>device-properties</key>
<string></string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

Edit:fixed by adding bt(0,0) before mach_kernel like this: bt(0,0)mach_kernel
