im using snow leopard on an AMD machine, i got everything running fine...but i cant boot without the boot disc i use. This boot disc using many things such as busratio=16 and so on...i put them in like this

 

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>legacy_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>arch=i386</string>

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>no</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>busratio=16</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>maxmem=4096</string>

 

and tried VARIOUS other ways to put them, this was just the latest way i did it. i can not boot with chameleon loader unless i have these flags running, it wokrs when i type them in at chameleon but not as a flag...im using the boot disc from this forum post... http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi.../t227592-0.html

 

if anyone can help me that would be great....

I believe it is supposed to on the one line so try as I edited above at least that is how I have the multiple options in mine and it works.

are you editing the file in the extra folder or other file?

also you need to put everything in one line like this

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>arch=i386 busratio=16 maxmem=4096</string>

also try adding this to your karnel flag

 

boot-uuid=F210B954-CA70-3A03-8583-2E726C5E2201

 

-> (u will need to change this "F210B954-CA70-3A03-8583-2E726C5E2201" to YOUR UUID

You can find your hard drive UUID with Apple Disk Utility.

 

However, that's most likely not going to help with anything.

 

It is much more likely that there is a driver for your hard drive controller on your Boot CD that you don't have on your system.

 

Kernel extensions are inside the RAM disk image on the Boot CD, take a look at what's there.
