Ingram Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 r487 has a graphical glitch in booter's boothelp, somewhere on top of smbios entries documentation. No idea if it is exactly r487 but at least noticed with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good spot Ingram The problem should be fixed now - Commit 492 Also, @iFabio - your last installer package didn't have the latest device icons for the default (non-embedded) theme with revised shadows from commit 475. These were changed to have cleaner shadows to make it easier to change the theme's background colour in the theme.plist. Can you add those to your next release?

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 And it would be nice to offer a ZIP archive for power users which only contains the "boot"-file. I do not want to go through the hole install process only to upgrade my bootloader. Sometimes you have to. The other files get updated as well. Besides, real "power users" have xcode installed and compile their own binaries from svn. They don't sit on their hands waiting for someone to "offer a zip archive". There should be a file in which the users can define the P-states on their own. That would even make undervolting possible. That's what the SSDT override is for.

ErmaC Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hi all! I open a new topic for talk about package installer to prevent off-topic here. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=231075 Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I open a new topic for talk about package installer to prevent off-topic here. Hi Fabio - this is a good idea and I'll see you there. But let's not forget the great contribution by MaLd0n with his quick response to updates in his installer. MaLd0n might still post his installer here or if anyone's interested he also posted them in his portuguese Chameleon installer thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea to open another topic, is not to detract from the excellent MaLd0n work. He has done and is doing a wonderful job! The reason is mainly to give opportunities and improve the installer by adding the same features present in the official release. (maybe we can try also fo fix re-edit the official..) Soon I will post the project files and scripts used. I hope interested users can help/contribute to improving it and find any errors/improvements. I do that for hobbyes and fun Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdawg Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 With rev. 494 (Trunk 492) my memory displays as 1333 instead of 1600. I also have a problem with the bootloader being really slow almost as if it were skipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hi kdawg, I think a couple of other posts in this thread had similar reports. Can you look back to see the suggested solutions / troubleshooting if any?

(maybe we can try also fo fix re-edit the official..)Soon I will post the project files and scripts used. I hope interested users can help/contribute to improving it and find any errors/improvements.

DariosF Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 If chamaleon detects my ram frequency in 1333 mhz instead 1600, is it only a cosmetic problem?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Let's try this again Try setting your RAM to a slower speed (but not 1333) and see if Chameleon detects it correctly. This will be helpful in determining where the problem lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRipper Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Chameleon detects my RAM running at 960 instead of 800 I have 3 setings in my BIOS for RAM - Auto, 800 and 667. If I select Auto or 800 - Chameleon detects it as 960, but if I select 667, Chameleon shows 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kup Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 That is probably due to an FSB overclock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 He's not using the smbios.plist I made and uploaded for him earlier. That was a waste of time apparently, I guess I'm a fool for trying to help people. I'll make sure to be less helpful in the future. He has this in his smbios.plist: 960/4 = 240. Here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1541530 I've polished your Mac Pro smbios.plist a bit, added more Mac Pro DMI data, and removed redundant memory and bus speed settings - Chameleon 2.0 RC5 takes care of that now.

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Right then..sorry for assuming things above. Still..this just keeps getting weirder all the time. Are you sure you don't have another /Extra folder somewhere? It's seems to be more than a coincidence how the bus speed override you had in your old smbios.plist is a perfect match with the wrong memory speed reported by Chameleon - 240*4=960.

iRipper Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 In about this Mac it shows the memory at correct speed. In more info --> Memory - shows 960. And I have only 1 Extra folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 A long-shot...but try placing your RAM in the first and the third slot instead of the second and the fourth. Maybe System Profiler just needs a little nudge.. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I have a 9500GT 512MB and it works great after everything boots up, but is it normal that it gets recognized as 14MB at Chameleon prompt? Tbh i can't remember if it was displayed correctly in previous versions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
