jpenguin Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 New setup http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295300-recommended-boot-loader/?p=1985214 I have 10.9 installed on a GA-Z87X-OC. I currently boot by a ##### flash drive, should I install Clover or Chameleon? I do not plan on dual-booting. I also can't get my audio to work, it is a Realtek ALC892 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295300-recommended-boot-loader/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 HelloIf you enabled UEFI mode, you'll have to choose Cloverit is more complex.If you enabled legacy_boot can choose Clover or Chameleon.Chameleon is easier to configureIf you want to change from one mode to another, here's a guide: http://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=4084 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295300-recommended-boot-loader/#findComment-1985031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Clover can also boot in Legacy mode. I think for someone new, the learning curve is the same for each boot loader, at least as far as the basics are concerned. If he's using Chimera already, that means he's booting in Legacy mode. It would probably be easiest to just replace that with latest Chameleon. I'm not a fan of the term "legacy mode", it makes non-UEFI mode seems like it's obsolete...but what can you do. jpenguin: Chimera (what you're using now) is TonyMac's version of Chameleon and works the same way. Whether you're dual booting or not should not be a factor in your choice of boot loader, both can dual or triple or quadruple-boot if that's what you want. You can read more about Clover here...take a deep breath: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/ Current development topic for Chameleon, it is alive and doing well courtesy of Fabio...and we have two new devs on board now doing lots of new cool stuff.. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231075-chameleon-22svn-official-pkg-installer-binaries/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295300-recommended-boot-loader/#findComment-1985081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I can tell you if you explain to me what it is. If it requires a driver to work, then no. A boot loader is a boot loader, not an operating system...so no drivers..

Gringo Vermelho Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I meant your "meta" key. Maybe the manufacturer of your keyboard offers an OS X layout. I believe there are apps that allow you to make your own as well but if OS X does not even see that key I don't know if it's possible to map it. Is that a 4K or 512 byte sector hard drive? About the sound, follow the link Lord Admiral Drake posted.
