shoarthing Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 On the irc channel Uphuck uses - irc.atlantis-irc.net - is a new channel [magicboot] & a link to a d/l of their implementation of [b21, by the look of it] the Darwin EFI-emu bootloader. Appears to come in 3 versions, each with a fixed fsb [133/166/200] & is the package is designed to be used with their 10.4.9 releases.

Azurael Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 v3 has FSB detection anyway, and it seems to work (at least it does for me - and I'm running at a pretty nonstandard FSB speed 433MHz) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70663-uphuck-on-the-efi-trail-magic-boot/#findComment-501340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azurael Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Yes, but what I'm saying is that I don't know why they bothered to take the time to hard-code the FSB frequencies into v1/v2 when if they'd waited less than a day, they could have seeded the version with built in detection Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70663-uphuck-on-the-efi-trail-magic-boot/#findComment-501357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how much space [there is very little available] is taken up by the autodetection of fsb, nor how accurate this is [or needs to be for system timings]. It seems vaguely possible that other important issues like UUID can be tackled/sidestepped within the loader.

Azurael Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I think the UUID issue is down to network interfaces not being registered correctly/early enough due to the error messages I see at boot?
