SLV Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi, everyone! I've got such a problem. For example, I have 2 HDDs (in fact 4, but that doesn't affect anything). The first one has Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (we'll call it SL_1 and the HDD will be SL_1_HDD) installed one day over a Leopard. It's booted via Chameleon RC3, has own /Extra and works perfectly. The second HDD also has Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (SL_2, the HDD is SL_2_HDD) (freshly updated from 10.6.0). It's been installed from SL_1, from a disk image. The bootloader for this new system is Chameleon RC4. /Extra was copied from SL_1, also I copied from there IOATAFamily, IONetworkingFamily and JmictronATA.kext. The problem is: If I select SL_1_HDD as boot disk, I get both systems completely working. But if I select SL_2_HDD as boot disk, I get internet and DVD-ROM not working. So the question is: how does Chameleon work? Where does it take the kexts from? Can I avoid copying all kexts from SL_1 to SL_2? I really don't want to do so cause there's a lot of trash there. So, what should I do? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/248513-strange-bootloader-behavior/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 It takes the /E/E from the disk it is booted from, i believe. I´m running 10.6.6 on one and 10.5.8 from another hdd. I solved this by installing chameleon to BOTH hdd´s and selecting desired hdd from bios ...

Gringo Vermelho Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Chameleon supports separate "Extra" folders for 10.5 and 10.6, you can do this with Chameleon installed to one drive only. I can't help you with setting that up though, I've never done it myself so I don't know how it works. Visit the VoodooProjects forum, Chameleon general board and read the Chameleon documentation posted there.
