b0dyr0ck2008 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 At least it's not just me that doesn't get it then. I'll try as you say. <br /><br />ALL graphics kexts Deleted all graphics kexts after backing up and still returned to the same problem at boot up. Perhaps the install went wrong?

iFIRE Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 man, go for System/Library/Extensions of your disk were you installed the system ML, backup all Graphics kexts FIRST, then delete all graphics kext from S/L/E, now boot with this boot flag and post screenshot if not boot. -f -v cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0dyr0ck2008 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Chameleon doesn't write it's own extra folder the install log says //extra which obviously isnt creating a folder at root. This is 2.1svn-r2064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 try this, boot from USBInstaller, then select for boot your disk ML where you installed the System with this boot flag: -f -v cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000 install log says //extra which obviously isnt creating a folder at root.!!! the folder Extra you must copy by hand for you hard disk ML where you installed the System, or this not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0dyr0ck2008 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 I don't need those flags I can boot into system from USB fine. Manually added /Extra folder Org.chameleon.boot.plist and smbios.plist along with /extensions folder (from your files before) And still doesn't boot or read chameleon plist or smbios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 now copy all kexts from Extra/Extensions of your disk for the desktop and delete folder Extensions, open app KextWizard and pull all kext for app and install for S/L/E of your System, RepairPermissiosn/RebuildCaches with KextWizard and reboot, if your sytem don't boot, try boot with USBinstaller and reinstall the boot loader for your disk ML.

b0dyr0ck2008 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Just to confirm: Copy /extra/extensions to desktop Delete /extra/extensions Open kext wizard and drag drop all kexts from s/l/e Repair permission etc and reboot?? "and pull all kext for app and install for s/l/e" I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0dyr0ck2008 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Ahh, do you mean the kexts that I've copied to the desktop? Install them via kextwizard for s/l/e?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0dyr0ck2008 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Ok so I made a new partition on a different hard drive and tried again and still have the same problem yet if I boot from USB everything works fine. I have two hard drives with four partitions on each. Windows 7 on hard drive 1 and storage for games, music etc on hard drive 2. Originally I made the mac partition on the windows drive and thought that might be why I was having problems so made a new partition on the storage drive but still came across all the same issues. I think the next step is to remove the windows drive and start fresh with just the storage drive and see how I get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0dyr0ck2008 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Still getting nowhere. Chameleon boots and on the handover to darwin I end up in the reboot cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISP Studios Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Not sure if anyone said this but you can change windows 7 to boot off of AHCI mode if you change a value in the registry that way you do not have to go into the bios everytime you change operating systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0dyr0ck2008 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 I came across that. Thanks. I can now boot fine, had to remove everything from one hard drive and reformat then place the OSX partition first on the drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
