ErmaC Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 A little note. With this change, chameleon PrefPane do not read (and write) org.chameleon.Boot.plist in /E/E, but write the original c.a.B.p in /Library/Preferences/ecc ecc thx fiox for the findings... Maybe Azi can "correct/fix" it... Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wifi75 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I've update from the r755 to r1150 but with kernel panic, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErmaC Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 I've update from the r755 to r1150 but with kernel panic, why? Maybe... you have renamed the file com.apple.Boot.plist in org.chameleon.Boot.plist ? probably some flag needed for boot your machine aren't "read" w/o this change...

Azimutz Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) No man, thank you for your work (and the work of all) Thanks -----//----- Chameleon Prefpane is updated (r313, r315). Things to keep in mind: - the pane will not work properly if it doesn't find org.chameleon.Boot.plist - i also changed the /Library/Preferences/com.chameleon.prefPane.plist to org.chameleon.prefPane.plist; if you have any important config on it, just rename the file before installing the pane. That's it, i think please feedback if any problem occurs. p.s.: damn... already found some runaway com.Apple.boot.plist updating... p.s.s.: done.

T a D Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Remember to change the com.apple.Boot.plist in org.chameleon.Boot.plist. or just create a symlink (from Terminal ln -sf ....) org.chameleon.Boot.plist -> com.apple.Boot.plist This way the Chameleon prefPane will keep working as expected too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmazar Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Seems with the new Bootloader there is a Issue with Windows involving BCDedit and the BCD Store. Just done a fresh install and both Charmeleon 877 RC5 and the lastest 1078 RC5 have the same issue where BCD store is not loading correctly and you can not edit with BCDedit which is a must for x64 bit Windows 7 to disable the Driver Enforcement. If i load the second drive directly to windows it works if i load from charmeleon it will not and will give the following error :- The boot configuration data store could not be opened. The requested system device cannot be found. Even with me using the bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd which works if i disable driver enforcement and also enable Test Mode neither loads on the reboot like its ment to. anyone else have the same issue. This can be produced via using two different Hard discs with 1 solely for Mac and the other for Windows 7 x64 bit. So the question is anyone else having this issue as well other then me. Yes. One solution is here, but needs testing: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2091.0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azimutz Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Works Great.. should work fine, was just a matter of replacing names. In fact, if the code is case sensitive, there's a thing or two that might work better... might Yes. One solution is here, but needs testing:http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,2091.0.html Interesting... will give it a ride asap.

Any way to disable it? I'll probably disable that by default in a later future, when everyone is aware of it The history about this stuff can be read in issue 12; i just made it available via booter option.

Peter_sm Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi , I have Lion on my first partition where I also have Cham on, my second partition is SL installed, when booting SL I got the boot information from lion partition. How can it be solved so It reads from my SL partition when booting SL? BR Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimutz Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Sorry for the offtop but what's the name of the app which updates Chameleon from SVN? Chameleon Wizard... but Chameleon version is out of date until July 25th. How can it be solved so It reads from my SL partition when booting SL? Place an Extra folder on the SL partition with SL stuff. Is this not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_sm Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Place an Extra folder on the SL partition with SL stuff. Is this not working? Yes I have a Extra folder on both partition for Lion & Snow Booting Snow it reads from Lion, I have different kernels for L & SL and cpus=1 for Lion, booting SL I got only one core ;-) So its only reading from partition where Cham is installed on. EDIT When press F8 and typing in right name of the kernel , then it works, I have different kernel on both partition //Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimutz Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 When press F8 and typing in right name of the kernel , then it works, I have different kernel on both partition So, it's just the kernel that fails? If you have it named with anything else but "mach_kernel" (default name) you need to to put the correct name on the org.chameleon.Boot.plist you have on SL's Extra, e.g. <key>Kernel</key> <string>blabla_kernel</string> If you give it the default name, the booter will not fail. Custom kernel names should only be used for testing or to keep a backup kernel; if you launch an app like e.g. VMWare, it will look for mach_kernel and it will crash if it doesn't find it. Some guys use a symlink named mach_kernel that points to the blabla_kernel so they can keep the kernel with a custom name... meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
