Kaly sent me a DS3 version of this hard drive package with all the necessary kexts in the Extra Contents folder. I just added one kext, a patched AppleHDA.kext and I made sure that I set the OSBundleRequired to Root. So I installed the package, rebooted, and it got all messed up after I rebooted. I lost video, audio, restart, etc. I fixed the mess up by deleting the Extra folder from root, deleting Extensions.mkext and reinstalling the original Chameleon 1.0.11 loader. But I'm wondering, did I do something wrong? I am using a Kalyway 10.5.2 install with Chameleon 1.0.11 and using EFI string for video...

 

 

 

hello ! in extra contents folder you should put your Extensions folder from cdboot/initrd/extra/ !!! or the mkext files directly in xtra contents !

 

haudio and video are not include in the pkg ! and the reboot issue disapear for me when i update to 10.5.4 !

 

for package didn't get hpet don't know really ! use disabler instead of cpupmdisabler !

 

and perhaps you have issue 'cause you still have your patched kexts in your osx extensions folder ?

 

! work like a charm for me 10.5.2 to 10.5.4 ! haven't test jmicrom and ahci mode !

 

yo, see ya later ! peace !

hi Kaly, great work. quick question. where can i get the disabler kext? also is there a way to have the boot loader start automatic after a cirtain timeout or immidiately? i have a 2 partition setup and it halts at the menu. was wondering how i can make it behave like the regular chameloen loader. thanks again for the great work to all involved..

David Eliott has just released a new version of his modified boot-132 bootloader.

One of the new things it can do is to load kexts from an .img file which contains kexts (or even an mkext) and boot Leo.

That means you can have two mkexts, one folder with kexts on the .img file and the folder with kexts from your installed system

or even two folders with mkexts.

How does it work?

 

Basically, you create a flat dmg with the kexts in a folder and the bootloader will load them for you. This means quite a lot;

you can boot from a retail Leo DVD and install it, you can update straight from apple, you can reinstall and not have to add

the same kexts to your install every time. The bootloader behaves like the linux kernel: you can use an mboot (a patched syslinux

was used) compatible bootloader which tells to boot-dfe about the .img file (the ramdisk or initrd, as it's known by the linux users)

and boot-dfe is going to use the kexts (or mkext) from it.

What does it do?

 

This new boot-dfe has been tested with the retail Leopard DVD and it can boot, install and run Leopard without having to build

a modified DVD.

 

Infos about hardware:

 

[OFF]: Vanilla = Original Mac OS X DVD or Mac OS X Installation with running original mach_kernel.

 

AMD systemz isn't supported.

To use Mac OS X Vanilla DVD needs a Intel "Mac" closer systemz, like a Intel Core processos and Intel Chipset. This is only combination supported by "Vanilla Installz", other processors and chipsets isn't supported by "Mac OS X Vanilla systemz"

 

This is how it's done: you burn an ISO (which has the bootloader on it) to a CD/DVD, after it gets to the boot

prompt, you press ESC or ENTER and it prompts for a new BOOT DEVICE, you swap the BOOT CD/DVD with the LEO Retail DVD, you press

enter and it shows you the name of the bootable partition from the DVD, you press enter and Leo starts to load.

 

Quick resume about "oh, what to do now?"

 

#1 - Burn .iso on a CD;

#2 - Boot this CD;

#3 - When Darwin prompt appear, eject CD and put Mac OS X Leopard Retail DVD;

#4 - Press enter (or -v and enter...wherever...)

#5 - After install, boot using CD boot again and install .kext needed...and usual files.

#6 - Done!

 

For the time being, you cannot have this bootloader on an USB stick and have it boot the Retail Leopard DVD. The reason why this

happens is related to the way the BIOS handles DVDs and optical media: there's no BOOT DEVICE associated with an optical drive

which the BIOS has not booted from. Basically, this is like the disk swap trick known to the PlayStation gamers.

You can already put this on an USB stick/CD/DVD and boot a vanilla install (vanilla= no added kext, no replaced kext on the partition).

 

As usual, this only works for compatible machines(that means you still can't boot a vanilla system on AMD, they need specialised patches).

 

What are you going to do in the future?

 

David Eliott said he'd merge some of the things from Chameleon into boot-dfe. Those involved in the development of Chameleon will merge

the support for ramdisks into Chameleon and more effort will go into making the distribution 100% legal.

Work might(read: should, in the very close future) also go into making Chameleon boot the Retail DVDs when loading the bootloader from the HDD.

 

User guide and link to the ISO

 

This ISO needs to be modded (add dsmos to the Extensions folder) in order to be able to boot Leo.

 

Credits for this go to:

 

David Eliott: for modding boot to allow us to boot from Retail Leopard DVDs;

 

Kabyl: for modding boot to allow the usage of a separate folder on the disk and merging features from Chameleon to boot-dfe-146;

 

bumby: for compiling syslinux and figuring out how to build the ISO;

 

ToH and HMBT: tests and improvments;

Thanks.

 

Whats the differnence of this new DL to using the known chameleon EFI (V0.11) on HD ?

 

uderstand i right now, that this new DL is :

1. Install orig. OS X DVD on HD (using 132-CD )

2. Install this new DL .

3. Now orig. DVD Install is bootable from HD without patching (only the special kexts in that EXTRA folder)

 

Or is this new DL also usefull for "normal" (Prepatched OSX86DVD Leo4all, JAS,.... KALY..) installs ?

 

help here i used kaly ...to boot from hard drive method...and moved extra file to the link.. and then got the extra file from the grub.iso ...and rebooted and stuck at the apple logo page with circle icon spinning..what do i do

that can be caused by AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment.kext. but since you are using kalyway it shouldnt be there in the first place. worth checking i suppose

 

 

do i check before i start the install or after ...i can boot with the cd fine no errors

okay i am using leopard server it boots fine with the grub dfe.iso..but when i do the kaly to boot from hard drive. the first thing i do is move the files from cd:/boot/initrd.img and mount in there i seee extensions file and move them into kaly content folder and then i run the installer....i also trying booted up -v...and i get the error package 0 didn't get an hpet ..what im i doin wrong?

No, I mean its the package that installs directly to your boot drive. No BOOT 132 CD/USB drive required. I did this on my existing Kalyway 10.5.2 install.

 

PCWiz, did this ever get resolved so you could install directly with success?

No, I mean the thing is that I don't quite understand the instructions. The patched kexts are in the Extra Contents folder, and I installed. Then when I rebooted all my video/audio support was gone, so I don't know if I'm doing things right. I'm still trying to figure out if every kext thats in the Extra folder, I have to delete from my original system. If anyone could assist me here I'd be grateful.

Did you add/correct the

 

<key>OSBundleRequired</key>

<string>Root</string>

 

into all of them kexts?

Yeah, I made sure of that. But its still my question, do I have to delete the original kexts from my system before using the patched ones with Boot 132?

 

I would think so. Sabr had problems when trying to load IOATAFamily or some other kext(don't remeber exactly) because the version of the vanilla 10.5.4 kext was higher. So there may be some conflicts. My extensions folder is untouched, all the patched kexts are in the extra folder so I can't say how it affects video/audio but it may as well can... ;)
