What is com.apple.boot.plist?

[itsjared]

and what does that say about my build.

 

Reason I ask is this:

 

I have a vanilla install running on my setup. It is 10.6.1. (install method was x58 installer).

 

I am trying to see why my update to 10.6.7 (using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]) is only allowing a safe mode boot up into Snow Leopard.

 

any ideas?

and just for grins, here is what's in my plist file.

 

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

I think that 10.6.7 has a lot of issues for example, my photo booth wasn't working and my RTL 8188cus dongle wasn't working I think if you go into safe mode you should download a different kernel other than vanilla.

-x32 arch=i386

 

 

 

could have something to do with it

[Gringo Vermelho]

-x32 is for Netkas' PCI_EFI

 

arch=i386 is for Chameleon

 

This flag forces Snow Leopard to boot in 32-bit kernel and drivers mode.

jared: I don't see anything in your com.apple.Boot.plist that would prevent an update from working.

com.apple.Boot.plist is used mainly for bootloader configuration, device property injection and setting kernel flags.

Read the Chameleon documentation over at the VoodooProjects forum. Also look here for a list of commands and flags:

Well I got 10.6.7 to run and it all seems to work. using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and then using the combo update to 10.6.7

 

Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx Ethernet and I'm still trying to find a good audio, this board uses ALC889A and it's giving me low volume and fuzzy noise. I have to turn my Logitec 5.1 volume halfway up before hearing anything.

 

I kept getting panic attacks and ended up booting with VooDooHDA 0.2.1

 

Any other way? I like using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].
