ErmaC Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Last time I "touch" the source was 3 mounth ago... but if the interfacing method still the same probably it need a tiny update.

ErmaC Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Chameleon 2380 preliminary OS X 10.10 support. NOT TESTED EDIT: CONFIRMED NOT WORK here a 2379 version of Chameleon with 10.10 boot support Also txt to BlackOSX (very fast!!!!) the pkg coming with the Icon support (default Theme) pkg -> i386 -> the change made are into boot.c and gui.c source code. boot.c 199 // Jump to kernel's entry point. There's no going back now.200 if ((checkOSVersion("10.7")) || (checkOSVersion("10.8")) || (checkOSVersion("10.9")) || (checkOSVersion("10.10")))201 { 246 // Lion, Mountain Lion Mavericks and Yosemite prelink kernel cache file247 if ((checkOSVersion("10.7")) || (checkOSVersion("10.8")) || (checkOSVersion("10.9")) || (checkOSVersion("10.10")))248 { gui.c + iDeviceHFS_yos,+ iDeviceHFS_yos_o, NOTE I don't have the ability to test it (I don't have Yosemite) Have FUN!

oldnapalm Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I did not test, but you probably need to edit bootstruct.c as well if ((gMacOSVersion[0] == '1') && (gMacOSVersion[1] == '0') && (gMacOSVersion[2] == '.') && ((gMacOSVersion[3] == '7' || gMacOSVersion[3] == '8' || gMacOSVersion[3] == '9') || (gMacOSVersion[3] == '1' && gMacOSVersion[4] == '0'))) 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231075-chameleon-24svn-official-pkg-installer/page/86/#findComment-2024124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I think its gonna take more than that because "mach_kernel" has been renamed to "kernel" and moved to a different location (I think). Clover is working because it loads Yosemite's native boot.efi which locates and loads the new kernel. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231075-chameleon-24svn-official-pkg-installer/page/86/#findComment-2024306 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clover is working because it loads Yosemite's native boot.efi which locates and loads the new kernel. We can define the kernel file name and location with: kernel=<kernel-file-path> Or wouldn't it work?

nyolc8 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I managed to load up all kexts with chameleon by using this boot args: "kernel kext-dev-mode=1 -v", and using applekextexludelist kext from 10.9. ("kernel" is the new kernel file name, I copied it to the root of the drive like before) But after loaded all kexts, it's immediately reboots. It throws a message but it appears just for a tiny moment then boom reboots so I can't read it. edit: well, after several times seen, I think it's just the "starting darwin x86/64" and the "boot-args=......" lines that I see.

Dr. Hurt Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 It might be due to the incomplete EFI runtime environment that Chameleon creates. Hope I'm wrong, though.

Pike R. Alpha Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Tip: Setup a VM and step through the kernel because that is the only way to figure out where it reboots. It will reboot even without kext loaded so this is definitely a kernel incompatibility issue. p.s. I started to publish the stuff that I figured out about the OS X 10.10 Yosemite DP1 kernel(cache) in my blog. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231075-chameleon-24svn-official-pkg-installer/page/86/#findComment-2025026 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pike R. Alpha Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 It stops there where I insert a breakpoint. Edit: Here is a proof of concept: 1) Search for (in kernel file): 48 C7 05 52 64 1E 00 00 00 00 00 5D C3 2) Replace with: 48 C7 05 52 64 1E 00 00 00 00 00 5D F4 3) Boot Chameleon What we do here is that we change the return instruction (0xC3) at the end of _PE_init_platform into a halt instruction (0xF4). Update: The reboot has been located and I am working on a fix/workaround! I need at least three more IORegistryExplorer dumps (running Clover) so that I can verify stuff. Feel free to e-mail me your dump if you don't want it exposed in public (see:ssdtPRGen.sh for my e-mail address). 8 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231075-chameleon-24svn-official-pkg-installer/page/86/#findComment-2026742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Pettigrove Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Where do I locate the Kernel file in chameleon and how do you edit it to change the numbers above.

Pike R. Alpha Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 There is no kernel file in Chameleon. It is part of the USB installer that you need so start reading here and get prepared. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231075-chameleon-24svn-official-pkg-installer/page/86/#findComment-2027015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pike R. Alpha Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Good news guys. I modified my private RevoBoot repository and now it boots the InstallESD.dmg without a reboot. Need to document this, but this problem sorted !!! Note: I have a new born son and want to spent time with him and my wife so laters p.s. No. The public repository of RevoBoot cannot boot Yosemite so don't even go there. Just wait for Chameleon to support Yosemite. 7 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231075-chameleon-24svn-official-pkg-installer/page/86/#findComment-2027057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
