What i mean by "after 2510" was another issue "AllocateKernelMemory error" by a user posted here

Going back to the 2nd issue...

Its also happening "randomly". new boot boot0 boot1h installed

Could it be this             #2540             ? I see that it was fixed in commit 2554 but later on rolled back in commit 2565

 

I will test and give you feedback by changing the value again... hold on since the issue occurs "randomly"   :)

The rollback was made because is not safe.

 

Zenith432 point me out on this potentials problem... Here the snippet explanations

 

The change to memory.h in commit r2554 is not safe.

The ZALLOC area (used for malloc) now overlaps the LOAD_ADDR area, which is used as a buffer for loading files.

 

If you shift LOAD_ADDR and PREBOOT_ADDR up - there's another problem. The memory layout is planned for using 512MB, and the code does not consult the BIOS memory map (retrieved with getMemoryMap()) to see that it's only using free memory. So the code should not be loosely expanding its use of memory without consulting bios memory map...

hmmmm , guess il investigate more :)
This is FUN :D

Let me explain what i mean by "randomly"...
installed the new 3 boot files and it works on the first restart, but will fail on the 2nd restart.
To fix it, i have to boot from a stick (old revision) then install again the same new 3 boot files then restart and it will work, but the issue will accur again on the 2nd restart.

Thinking that maybe its only my HD, I made a fresh install on one of my spare unit and still the issue persist.
Note: Revision 2510 doesn't have this issue

***********************************************************************

Update: I found it!

 

2560 = Good

2561 = Instant restart after kexts are being force loaded by the bootloader ( i don't have -f )

2561 = AllocateKernelMemory error starts in this revision all the way to the latest (2584 / 2587)

2562 = AllocateKernelMemory error starts in this revision all the way to the latest (2584 / 2587)

Nice!

 

Pls try this precompiled binaries

2560 (include the fake_efi.c fix and ZALLOC_LEN in memory.h  set again to  0x10000000) -->

2561 (same fix as for 2560 and correct the logic how chameleon match the finded version of OS X) -->

2562 (same fix as for 2561) -->

2584 (Current/latest trunk from SVN with same fix as 2561) -->

 

let me know

No changes

 

2560 =  :thumbsup_anim:

2561 =  :thumbsdown_anim:  kexts are being force loaded ( -f ) by the bootloader then instant reboot. Its like a CPU not supported by kernel that gives you instant reboot

2562 =  :thumbsdown_anim: AllocateKernelMemory error

2584 =  :thumbsdown_anim: AllocateKernelMemory error

2561_V2 reboots instantly. it doesnt even try to read or load the kexts

 

This might help since i have most of the OS setup in here.

SnowLeopard =  :thumbsup_anim:

Mountain Lion =  :thumbsdown_anim: reboots instantly

Mavericks =   :thumbsdown_anim: reboots instantly

Yosemite =    :thumbsdown_anim: reboots instantly

V3 now works  :thumbsup_anim:

 

************************************************

Next and last issue  is AllocateKernelMemory

 

Im definitely sure that AllocateKernelMemory error live in 2562  

As commit says "Added ability to auto-select last booted partition as the boot volume" and thats what i was saying about 2nd restart issue in here:

Il take a break first.. be back later :)

Thank you so much for the patience Ermac :)

2562_V1 (same OS X check as for 2561_V3) ->

 

If the problem described still "alive" maybe I add a keyFlag or need a better implementation.

2562_V1 =  :thumbsdown_anim: AllocateKernelMemory error

 

Not too bad... expected problem...

 

Here other version with "some" of the 2562 changes are been removed...

I get instant reboot with 2562_V2 :(

 

For filenvram, are we using just the dylib or does the kext have to be installed too?

Are you sure its a bootloader and not your CPU that having the reboot issue? Because the reboot issue that we just fixed was caused by a bad commit made some time ago and not CPU related.

Can you try the file in post #2742

 

Opps attachment is broken...

here 2561.zip
