leppy700m Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 hi shawndoggy, attached: chameleon2.1-rev1666 patched for our board (IGP + more than 2GB RAM). With this version 10.7.2 + iCloud should work. Formarly com.apple.Boot.plist in /E must be renamed to org.chameleon.Boot.plist now. The keys for RAM in smbios.plist will not be read correctly - use the key "UseMemDetect", value "Yes" in org.chameleon.Boot.plist instead. This will show you the RAM in System Profiler. BTW: For dualboot with Win7 boot0md may be useful. Good luck! Update: And a new image for a ChameleonBoot stick This stuff rocks, thanks olegischinski. I just did a complete reinstall using this method, Lion and installed your patched Chameleon, and it's flawless - except no sound (expected). Now I just need to go patch that, and I am all set. Thanks - good work.

scoobydu Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 And for the last time: Sound over HDMI will NOT work with AppleHDA (patched or unpatched). Out of interest why? I've just got it working on my hd3000 rig and was going to try this one again with my new knowledge Is it a waste of time ?

e60 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 @scoobydu My last DSDT should be ok for HDMI Audio. In my opinion AppleHDA.kext is the reason why this thing isn't working. Unfortunately I have no idea how to patch this kext and not much desire to learn it. So if there is anyone out there who knows what to do with AppleHDA.kext, it would be perfect if "the one" could help us to manage this thing. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/161348-guide-installing-snow-leopardleopard-retail-dvd-on-the-ga-e7aum-ds2h/page/29/#findComment-1813238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

e60 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hey guys, bonami2k asked me if I could upload a newer Chameleon version for our Board because he is having some trouble installing Mountain Lion, so here we go. The Zipfile contains the Chameleon trunk version 2.1svn r2030 and some updated Kexts. You have to install it using Terminal, but maybe Oleg will create an updated version of his easy to restore image.

LJSeinfeld Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I'm not sure if this might be interesting for anybody, but Mountain Lion works flawless with our Mainboard Maybe it would be good to start a new thread about installing Mountain Lion on the board?

olegischinski Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 hello, here comes an update for the ChameleonBoot stick ready for Mountain Lion and Chameleon rev. 2050 patched for our board. Same procedure as here Onboard audio will work with patched AppleHDA.kext form Lion or try out the ML preview version by toleda (in this case use the DSDT from the additional folder of the image). There are some nice kexts for monitoring in the additional folder too, but you don't need them. (Credits to Slice and others on projectosx.com) Good luck!

shawndoggy Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 well shoot. I messed up my install (don't ask!) and now I'm having trouble reinstalling lion. I've created the lion install media according to the guide, but I'm hanging at "[ PCI configuration begin ]". So I can't get the system to boot far enough to get to the install process. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

shawndoggy Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yeah I got ml working finally too.

Hey guys, unfortunately it seems like I've bit off more than I can chew. I am becoming a father and because time is precious, I won't be able to finish a understandable and easy to use Guide in in the near future.

LJSeinfeld Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 OK- I'm back on hackintoshing the E7AUM. First, congrats to e60 --and thanks for all your help with getting things working ont this board! I've managed to get 10.8.2 up and running on my system, using the onboard gpu and the boot file from olegischinski's chameleon boot image. My question is: Will we always need a specially patched chameleon/chimera bootloader to get things working with this board?

olegischinski Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 hi LJSeinfeld, as usual: with onboard GPU and more than 2 GB RAM the BIOS reports a wrong memory map that has to be corrected by the boot loader. So if you stick to these restrictions, ###### method should be possible (never tested). Good luck!

Thanks for the reply (and also for all your help with this board as well) -- could this also be accomplished via other means in the boot.plist?

olegischinski Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 no, there is no boot option nor key for this. Chameleon contains some code to rearrange the memory map, but it's not active by default. That's why we have to patch it for this board. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/161348-guide-installing-snow-leopardleopard-retail-dvd-on-the-ga-e7aum-ds2h/page/29/#findComment-1867445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I get it -- Thanks =D I think I remember something about patched BIOS for this board now that I think about it.. is that a possible "permanent" fix to the problem?

olegischinski Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 We could solve this problem by a BIOS flash, if Gigabyte ships a new, correct one (very unlikely to happen). Windows and Linux check the memory map reporting by BIOS in the early boot process to clear overlaps and other inconsistancies - OSX doesn't. So Chameleon must do it. That's life on a GA-E7AUM Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/161348-guide-installing-snow-leopardleopard-retail-dvd-on-the-ga-e7aum-ds2h/page/29/#findComment-1867642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warped Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi, Gezz, maybe somebody can help me with installing 10.8.2 on this mobo. I tried: 1.mirror OS from my GA-P35-DS4 desktop with 3 different chameleon loaders downloaded from this thread. 2.vanilla 10.8.2 USB install image (used with success for P35-DS4). No matter what I'm doing, boot always ends with switch to black screen when system switches to login screen. Logs are showing "nvdanv50hal loaded" so it looks onboard GFX is recognised. For me it looks like nvidiaresman has problem with selecting proper video output. I tried VGA, DVI and HDMI - no change. I also tried reset BIOS to defaults. I'm out of ideas how to move with thus feral mobo.... br Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/161348-guide-installing-snow-leopardleopard-retail-dvd-on-the-ga-e7aum-ds2h/page/29/#findComment-1878319 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warped Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi Warped, can you boot your vanilla USB Install Image with my ChameleonBoot Stick? This is exactly what is scratching my head: no, I can't boot even vanilla ML :-( How it is possible that: latest BIOS (F4), default BIOS settings+minimal desired changes (AHCI), stock 10.8.0 has exactly the same problem: switch to black screen when GUI screen should appear.... My USB stick has chameleon r1003, which is different than patched boot loader/Yours ChameleonBoot Stick. Do You believe this might lead to black screen issue ? If so, may You provide me binaries/deltas I should implement on my USB stick to get it like Your's ChameleonBoot Stick ?

olegischinski Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 That's your problem: My method only works with a VANILLA install medium, which means no Extra-Folder, no Chameleon installation on it.
