Chameleon Logo

 

In addition to the many patches a fixes included in this new version, a few new features for the bootloader made this cut.

We’re back again with this new RC4 version. Since the last RC3 release, we received many patches and fixes, and also backported some important features like ATI graphics device injection, EFI64 tables and PCI root configuration. Also added a new boot option for hiding unwanted foreign partitions from the boot menu.

 

Hide Partition

Using this option you can enumerate all your partitions what you would like to remove from the boot menu, the syntax is similar to the Default Partition option but here you can specify many volumes in your com.apple.Boot.plist:

 

 

PciRoot

This is a similar option what you can find in PC_EFI, but we’re doing this a bit different: The default value is still 0 but you can set to any arbitrary value.

Ladies and Gentlemen, without further ado, let me introduce...

 

A fully working, Windows friendly, installer.

It installs Chameleon 2 RC5 pre8 and the preference pane 2.0.0 RC4 to your HDD or USB stick.

 

Advantages:

  • Windows Vista/7 boot loader will no longer break.
  • Chameleon boot loader will start even if the Windows partition is the one set active. (fixes Windows sleep issue).
  • All the advantages of the new boot loader and prefpane.

============================================================================

 

I have just finished modifying blackosx's code as required, integrated it in my installer's script, installed it and Windows 7 still boots. :) :)

This is still experimental. Please use at your own risk, and report how it goes.

It's always recommended to have a Chameleon boot CD at hand.

 

Edit: R2 contains a small cleanup.

Hi Dr Hurt,

Thanks absolutely awesome. Works stable no worries with my setup (see signature).

 

EDIT: I don't get full sleep (H/D) in Win7 & S/L sometimes does not shutdown fully (H/D)

Works card NVidia GeForce 320M with prescription GraphicsEnabler = yes, but does not work shut down and restart!

Without this option, graphics acceleration is not working, but the laptop shuts down and restarts.
