Chemeleon halts when listing NTFS partitions [Solved]

[Sharoue Apollo]

I have a notebook installed Snow Leopard 10.6.4 at second hard disk, and primary hard disk is Windows 7. I installed Boot Think at primary hard disk, and Chemeleon at the EFI partition at the second hard disk. So I can boot Snow Leopard through two ways when 10.6.4.

 

But Chemeleon do not work after updated to 10.6.5. Through verbose mode, Chemeleon always halts at message as

 

NTFS driver 3.3 [Flags: R/W]

ATHR: unknown locale: 60

NTFS volume name iWin7, version 3.1

NTFS volume name iData, version 3.1

NTFS volume name iGames, version 3.1

 

and then system halted. Some times the partition listed less than above, but nothing different.

 

I don't know why and I hope anybody to help me solve the Chemeleon problem. Very appreciated.

I got it!

 

When 10.6.4, I use Graphicsenable to active my video card. A dumped BIOS file of video card shoule be under the /Extra directory， and file com.apple.Boot.plist should added

 

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>yes</string>

<key>UseNvidiaROM</key>

<string>yes</string>

<key>VBIOS</key>

<string>Yes</string>

 

But now at 10.6.5, the BIOS file is not needed any more. Just delete the dumped BIOS file, and the code above in the file com.apple.Boot.plist become like this,

 

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>yes</string>

 

 

Then everything is OK now.

i don't know if this is the chameleon problem or not, but i have this problem too, and currently without no luck. All i can do is to load in safe mode, and i can use SL after that, with internet and sound. Still looking a way to fix this. Reinstalling many times, same outcome.
