mitch_de Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Can ist be that V9 didnt work anymore with newest SNOW LEOPARD dev build ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 netkas said that PC_EFI v9 was Snow Leopard compatible, not sure if anyone has tested that. And by the way, afaik PC_EFI v9 is not the official Chameleon 1.0.12. The final release of the new Chameleon will have more features that the current PC_EFI v9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About Snow Leo, i can tell you that PCEFI v9 is able to boot it !!! I've tested it my self with the snow leopard devlopers preview. Bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah, but it seems to be problems with newest build of Snow Leo. (found at headline info #snowleopad irc). But it doenst matter for me, i didnt use dev builds, i was only interested to try out and the V9 , which bootes up (at least safe mode) with last Snow build, it cant boot (at all) with newest build. Lots of time for that bootloader dev teams to fix that -SL will arrive summer 2009, not now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicdude Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Mediafire says The key you provided for file download was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on Mediafire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or Mediafire. %( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwestpha Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Having an odd issue with all of the EFI v9 / recent Chameleon installers. They work and boot wonderfully when used off of the DVD but I simply cant get them to install onto a hard drive have have the bootstrap load on boot without using the DVD and waiting for a time out. EFI v7 worked wonderfully and so did prior Chameleon installs. I always had to do it manually though in a terminal. Any idea why this would be or how to fix this?

Hy, Make sure you don't have any spaces into the name of your partition. One user, with bad axe 2 mobo has experienced the same problème!!! He was forced to to a manual installation. Suppose that your installation is on /dev/disk0s2 - Install boot0 to the MBR: fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0 - Install boot1h to the partition's bootsector: dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2 - Install boot to the partition's root directory: cp boot / No need to use startupfiletool anymore!

cwestpha Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Figured it out, apparently most installers and automated scripts don't realize that even if OS X detects it raw as disk0s2 it may physically be disk 0 partition first partition. Had to go into Fdisk and manualy set disk one partition one as active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westwaerts Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 hi trauma, i have used pcwiz installer for pcefiv9. is there a difference in extra functionality ? if, i want yours and a hint how to install it , or does your installer erase the other stuff ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trauma! Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hy, They are using the same base : Kaly's Chameleon v1.0.11 Installer. The difference is that this one still provide the "Extra content" fonctionality !!! The idea is providing a set of tools everyone can use to build there own retail patch or UOI plugin. Cheers. Same question than on page one ! So that's the same answer ! No need for you to reinstall PCEFI v9 then .... No differences with the use of Extra, the only things is that you can put /Extensions and Extensions.mkext in "Extra Contents" and the installer will do the rest... Bye.

Fujilives Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 after using this tool I cannot find my com.apple.boot.plist file. If I mash f8 as its booting I can still get to the partition selection menu, choose the proper partition, and boot. Is there a simple way to fix this? Currently my solution is just to use the XXX distro that has pcefi 9 already, and it works great - but it'd be nice to have a good "post installation method" that worked smoothly.

mitch_de Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Q: Does anyone know whats the "-nowake" boot flag is for ? Since i use PCEFI 9 i have problem with sleep. Sleep works but at wakeup: rebooting I use S3 (suspend to ram), (pmset) hibernate mode = 0, no sleepimage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch_de Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 You can boot normally (bypassing wake), when your sleepimage is corrupted or something else goes wrong Thanks. I will try that. Perhaps PCEFI V9 make an deeper sleep (hibermode =1) which saves status in RAM and also in an sleepimage. My bios maybe not make the sleepimage possible and wakeup end in an reboot because no sleepimage found ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephensaw Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi Trauma!, I got my 10.5.5 working right now, I having simple and success upgrade from 10.5.2 to 10.5.6, wanted to upgrade to 10.5.6, and it would required EFI V8 and above, I do not install any EFI before, is it safe for me to install with my current system configuration, and most important, will it had anything to do with my Vista? Just afraid of getting crash or something. Thanks EDIT: Thanks for the tools, it works like a charm for newbie like me! Had my 10.5.6 Combo update without a sweat.

Fernando Remus Nagel Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 having a problem with this installer.....i installed it successfully when rebooted it said boot 0: MBR boot 0: done boot 1: error can't boot without DVD now.... can u plzz help me I have a look like problem... When the installation finishes, it restart the computer... Then, boot into the DVD again... After it enters automatically in a blank screen with an apple in the middle and cursor below with a no sign above the apple, and don't scape from that. It stops there... Then, I decided to boot without the DVD, and it boots into the hard drive and appear the same three lines. Finally, it won't boot with DVD and won't boot into hard drive. What could be?
