Bootloader Chameleon 2.4svn Official PKG Installer

Zenith432 · November 30, 2014

That's not a boot0 hang. The rotating bar hanging is in boot2 (/boot) in scanBootVolumes. I've had this happen to me - it hung when trying to get the OSVersion from a FAT32 partition on a USB stick I had connected. Attached is a patch I use for my hang. Try applying it to r2510, build it and then use patched /boot see if it still hangs.

Well... the third part happened. I can barely see boot0: done at startup, then entering the second stage and afterwards, well, the bar rotates and stops. That is the end of my boot sequence.

This happens, if I install a built of Chameleon after 2468. 2468 just runs fine, like it always did.

yep,

will do it tomorrow. Right now, my wife wants to eat something (with the rest of the family) ;-)

oh, should mention a few things:

- Chameleon is booting of a MBR HDD OSX partition and then loads the system (by default) on a SSD.

Hi there Zenith432,

tested your patch today, but I get the same result as before. (Still can see "boot0: done", a rotating string that hangs after a half rotation)

So back to 2468 again :-(

Bungo · December 8, 2014

tested, is better, but now it stuck here

..but really intreasting .

Thanks for testing.

I hope I fixed this time all bugs, can you try boot_r2379_TEST4.zip

Question: I do not remember if it has to do with the bootloader

I'm wrong

Serial number (slot processor): SOMESRLNMBR

Thanks

Fabio

Zenith432 · December 8, 2014

Serial # is injected from /Extra/smbios.plist, and if this file isn't found I think Chameleon uses "SOMESRLNMBR" as a default.

Serial # is injected from /Extra/SMBIOS.plist, and if this file isn't found I think Chameleon uses "SOMESRLNMBR" as a default.

Thanks for the answer

In Extra I smbios.plist, I added this flag

<key>SMBIOS</key>
<string>/Extra/SMBios.plist</string>

same problem

Run bdmesg and browse the messages about smbios. Maybe the file is malformed. /Extra/smbios.plist is the default path, so you should not have to spell it out in org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

Sorry, can't figure out from bdmesg what's wrong with it. But the string SOMESRLNMBR does come from Chameleon

i386/libsaio/smbios.c:#define kDefaultSerialNumber				"SOMESRLNMBR"

so it's failing to read or parse a serial number from smbios.plist and using a default.

In the bdmesg dump it keeps saying PRIVATE for the serial number so who knows what's going on behind the PRIVATE.

bootloader used Chameleon 2501

If you can help test run from usb using Clover is seen in serial number

It is another story.

Clover create one SN, Chameleon another. Or you have to write it in plist manually.

I did the test with Clover for comparison.

the plist and ' How do I find the serial smbios

Thanks

Hi Fabio,

Use PrivateData=No key in your o.c.B.p if you don't mind revealing your serials, uuid etc.. Comparing bdmesg to original (unpatched) smbios dump may give the answer.

Ofcourse check related entry in your smbios.plist.

same problem also putting PrivateData=No

same problem also putting PrivateData=No

The key PrivateData is used to "mask" the sensible data like serialnumber in a log (bdmesg)... and only in a log!!!!

No side effect to SystemProf...

So what Bungo said is to put No to PrivateData to allow the view of the masked data in the bdmesg, in that way you are able to see the "serial" previusly hidden and replaced with "** PRIVATE **"

Italian.

La chiave PrivateData serve per visualizzare i seriali ed altri dati sensibili non normalmente visualizzabili nel bdmesg,

come opzione predefinita chameleon rimpiazza tutti i dati sensibili con "** PRIVATE **",

guindi "disabilitando tale flag riuscirai a vedere i "seriali" e altri dati nascosti nel bdmesg.

Questa "copertura affetta solo il log non affetta il System Profiler, è stato pensato in questo modo per poter scambiare più facilmente i log

senza dover mettersi a cancellare i seriali.

I did not understand what he meant

non avevo capito cosa voleva dire

mettendo quel flag in o.c.B.p. posto il risultato, confermi

Grazie

Yep adding that flag you are able to see the masked "serial"

take a look at the showed log before post it here... because the serial are now visible!

Italian

Si aggiungi la flag all'org.chameleon.Boot.plist (PrivateData=No), e vedrai che i dati nel log non sono più nascosti...

prima di postare l'intero bdmesg assicurati di nascondere a "mano" le cose che non vuoi siano viste...

Ripeto la finalità della richiesta di Bungo era quella di avere un bdmesg non "mascherato"
