Thanks Azimutz...

 

Another thing, I am now booting Ubuntu with the other O/S 's I already have, and it is very well managed by the Chameleon bootloader which recognised it immediately...

 

Ubuntu 10.10 is great, as good as OS X, plus there are all these freebies that one finds with it... and no need to sweat for drivers...

 

but it was not always like that for Linux ;-)

 

btw I got the dsdt.aml from it, and event though my graphics card is fully recognised with 3D and openGL, no info gets captured in the dsdt.aml (from checking dsdt.dsl)...

 

I wonder why that is?

Blasphemy!!.. :)

yeah, Linux is nice. Just wish software/hardware developers gave it at least the same support they give to OS X.

You are just dumping the table already stored on the machine, which is not changed by the system.

Mine also doesn't have any graphics info, the desktop one, i mean.. the laptop does have graphics stuff.

So I guess if I wish to fool around with it, it is a matter of putting the info myself using as a guide what others did... :)

 

that is going to be an interesting homework :)

hello, just want to tell you that the grafikenabler from 1158 works the first time with my Nvidia GTS450

 

error message before:

nVidia GeForce GTS 450 1024MB NVc3 [10de:0dc4] :: PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)
Bad Display Configuration Block signature (UPUQUU?)
ERROR: nVidia ROM Patching Failed!

 

should F10 scan for IDE drives too?

When compiling for the "boot0" or "boot0hfs" using the config switch, is there a way to just compile for that booter, instead of compiling for the whole trunk? No biggy, but I'd like to create both boot files without having to do the full compile. Possible?

Hi Carstiman.. that's good news, but strange at the same time;

nothing special was done to the code and your dev id was already present.

Do you dual boot with windows?... i know, the question seems to have nothing to do with graphics problems,

but check this post on tonymac...

Not sure about this... why do you ask?

 

I'm looking for the latest Chameleon RC5 (trunk) with the Lion patch applied.

I downloaded the trunk, but there is no Lion support:...

Lion support was added "long" time ago! Why do you say there's no support?

Use

svn co -r HEAD http://forge.voodooprojects.org/svn/chameleon/trunk

to get just the trunk, if you like.

Not using "make config". You can compile the file directly with e.g.

nasm boot0.s -o boot0

Check "man nasm"; also check the attached boot0.s against the current one for necessary code edit :(

boot0.s.zip

Cool! I'm learning this stuff and find it amazing that all these tools are accessable via command line.

But, in using nasm none of the symbols in source are defined for compiling. The man page doesn't show any way to include the Makefile rules, but I suppose that is what make is for. I can see that in the makefile, the symbols are defined and nasm is run. I'm liking this stuff. :D

 

To just build boot0, run make config, ensure the correct option is checked, the browse to the boot0 directory and run make.

Awesome. This works a treat.

 

You guys are great! Thanks, again.

Damn thing... i'm pretty sure i did that and it failed... but that was before dinner, brain was hungry :(

Thanks Mek, i was hoping that would read this.

Correct, that's why i posted the edited boot0.s; if you run nasm on it, it will do the job.

Yeah, this stuff is great and Mek been tuning in some great stuff; i only gave you the command tip because

i wasn't able to do it like he explained... i knew he had this setup.

Hi meklort,

 

with your branch in the past I was able to do "make image" to create a bootable ISO.

Now with trunk I can't. Can you add the feature to the makefile?

I know you're not supposed to edit the autoconfig files (3 of them), but I'm writing a script to automatically build both boot0 booters (bootable HFS+ first and active partitions first) in advance. I see what needs to be edited, so is it safe to edit the three files at the root of the source, or are there other considerations I must make?

 

What I'm not exactly clear on is whether these are the only files that get edited by the configuration utility, which I wish to bypass.

 

best of wishes,

MAJ

I don't know if this has been said before

 

Install Chameleon to an HFS+ formatted USB stick.

Try booting, it detects the OS X root partition as hd(1,2) instead of hd(0,2) and keeps giving an error about not finding the mach_kernel.

 

Sorry if this has been asked, answered before

Doc, that's just how Chameleon works; for him, the volume were it's installed it's always hd(0,x); other hd's are shown in the bios order.

About the kernel, i can check, but it should find it; it's always loaded from the select volume.

Beware that the boot0 that Chameleon compilation produces by default is in fact boot0hfs.

 

<key>Default Partition</key>

<string>hd(0,1)</string>

Linear, read above...

Are you sure?... and this, "... in sys pref", what does it mean?.. Boot.plist in system preferences?

 

weird however now i get a nother panic this seems to be random

Not sure about this kp; can't test Lion.

 

-----//-----

 

p.s.: compiled binaries can be downloaded from Voodoo forums; follow the "trunk build" link on my signature.

I know the link is only available to registered users; can't do nothing about that.

But, there will be news on fresh compiled binaries soon... stay tuned ;)

I didn't notice the additional code in boot.c. It was a cache problem with Google Chrome. It works. Thank you!

How can I obtain the version number of the Trunk?

 

Chameleon-2.0-RC5-rxxxx-bin.zip

 

I'm talking about the four number "rxxxx-bin.zip" marked with xxxx.

The easiest way is

svn log path/to/trunk/working folder

then hit Home key and the latest commit to the trunk will be at the top.

Same applies to any other versioned file or folder; only the commits done to the file or folder will be shown.

$svn help

is your friend :rolleyes:

i thought this might helped :(

 

i've been using svnx for a while to track changes in chameleon trunk (and branches)

http://code.google.com/p/svnx/

 

i'm too lazy to deal with command lines. :(
