LaminarFlow Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I have the setup shown in my signature. I have the following partition configuration on a 1TB drive: 1 EFI disk0s1 2 Install disk0s2 3 Lion disk0s3 4 Windows disk0s4 "Install" is a plain, working 10.7.0 installation. "Lion" is my main 10.7.2 partition. "Windows" is my Windows 7 partition. Right now, the active boot file is on the Install drive. After installing Windows 7, I was able to restore the ability to boot into OS X by following these instructions. I have found two things. 1. If I try and select the Windows partition from the bootloader, it now tells me that booting Windows has failed and wants me to repair it. I'm afraid that repairing it will wipe out my current bootloader. Thoughts? 2. If I boot via the bootloader installed on my computer, I have no CI/QE support. But if I insert the Kakewalk USB drive and use its bootloader to load my Lion partition, suddenly I have perfect CI/QE support. What files am I looking for on the Kakewalk drive to copy over so that I can have my graphics card supported? Thanks!

bigpoppa206 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Are you sure you have no QE/CI support? It sounds to me like your bootloader is too old. Look for the latest version of Chameleon and you sure be fine. I think I'm using v2 RC5 1620.

chewara Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 download chameleon wizard and install the latest chameleon and graphicsEnabler=Yes in Boot.plist. if you got an old bootloader, you should rename your com.apple.boot.plist to org.chameleon.boot.plist!

Look for the latest version of Chameleon and you sure be fine. I think I'm using v2 RC5 1620. I'm sure - when I boot to my Lion drive via my installed bootloader, I get no Dashboard ripples and Steam won't launch Portal, it says it can't find a support graphics card. When I boot to my Lion drive via whatever bootloader is configured on the Kakewalk flash drive, I have Dashboard ripples and Portal launches and plays fine. download chameleon wizard and install the latest chameleon and graphicsEnabler=Yes in Boot.plist. if you got an old bootloader, you should rename your com.apple.boot.plist to org.chameleon.boot.plist! I will try this. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/270694-lion-bootloader-help-gt430-and-ciqe-support/#findComment-1762974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaminarFlow Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Okay, I downloaded Chameleon Wizard from this thread and ran it using all of its default settings except that I checked GraphicsEnabler. After reboot, everything is the same. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that my first OS X drive ("Install") is where my bootloader is currently stored, and the Wizard might be trying to do stuff to the "Lion" partition. Thoughts? What in the wizard should I be looking to change?

LaminarFlow Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Okay. I ran Chameleon Wizard again, this time pointing it at my "Install" partition. Now it boots up into my Lion partition and I have full QE/CI support! Still not sure about what to do with Windows, though. Do I attempt a repair?
