Bootloader Chameleon 2.4svn Official PKG Installer

verdant · October 28, 2014

Hi verdant.
This issue happened also with the precompiled rev posted by Bit Shoveler --> http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/231075-chameleon-23svn-official-pkg-installer-binaries/page-124?p=2074627&do=findComment&comment=2074627 ? Or you try compile yourself from the svn, and noticed the same behaviour?

Hi Fabio

Firstly, many thanks for continuing to support the Chameleon boot loader for the many BIOS MOBO owners like myself......

I used the pkg installer in this link http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?app=downloads&module=display&section=download&do=version_download&id=286

Many thanks for people who still contribute.

Long time ago blackosx maid some nice icons to associate to the recovery partition... (I just commit those icons to the main trunk commit 2455)

Recovery_Icons_by_blackosx.zip

I trick a bit the gui source code to "show" that icons and hopefully fix the problem with your red/green "crazy" UI

Here the mod binaries...

Thanks Fabio (ErmaC)

I will manually install using the mod binaries etc. and report back.....

Hi ErmaC,

I have the following test set up:

Asus P5Q-E MOBO with two 1TB WDC WD1003FZEX Advanced Format HDDs as OS X system drives:

HDD 1. Partitioned as MBR

1:OSX64_Boot 15.1 GB disk1s1

2:OSX64_1068    150.1 GB   disk1s2
3:OSX64_1075    150.1 GB   disk1s3
4:OSX64_1085    150.1 GB   disk1s5
5:OSX64_1095    150.1 GB   disk1s6
6:OSX64_10xx    150.1 GB   disk1s7 - no OS X yet
7:OSX64_1010    150.1 GB   disk1s8
8:OSX32_1068    84.3 GB    disk1s9

HDD 2. Partitioned as GPT

1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk4s1
2:OSX64_Boot    15.0 GB    disk4s2
3:OSX64_1068    150.0 GB   disk4s3
4:OSX64_1075    150.0 GB   disk4s4
5:OSX64_1085    150.0 GB   disk4s5
6:OSX64_1095    150.0 GB   disk4s6
7:OSX64_10xx    150.0 GB   disk4s7 - no OS X yet
8:OSX64_1010    149.5 GB   disk4s8
9:OSX64_1010 hidden Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk4s9
10:OSX32_1058    83.9 GB    disk4s10

I have installed (using Chameleon Wizard) Chameleon v2.3svn r2455 boot0, b00t1h and /boot to the volumes in red shown above.

I can boot all the above OS X system volumes normally, EXCEPT for OS X 10.10, i.e. using the Chameleon boot loader installed on each HDD (tested {a} via the BIOS boot menu [F8]) and {b} via the MBR HDD Chameleon boot loader (my 1st boot device)

When booting I do not get

boot0: GPT
boot0: test
boot0: test
boot0: GPT
boot0: test
boot0: test
boot0: error

Nevertheless, when I select and boot OSX64_1010 on the MBR HDD and OSX64_1010 / OSX64_1010 hidden Apple_Boot Recovery HD on the GPT HDD, the boot progress of each OS X 10.10 partition hangs at loading AppleKextExcludeList.kext, going to a blank GUI screen before re-booting.....

However, when I boot the PC from my OS X Yosemite Installer USB flash drive (with Chameleon v2.3svn r2455 boot0, b00t1h and /boot installed) via the BIOS boot menu [F8], I can then select and boot successfully into the Desktop of both OSX64_1010 on the MBR HDD and OSX64_1010 on the GPT HDD........

Manual installation of boot1h to the boot sector of each OS X 10.10 partition using

diskutil unmount /dev/rdiskXsY
dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=4096

makes no difference……I have not tried using dd from a live Linux installer…..nor dd if=boot1h of=/dev/diskXsY bs=4096 etc.

My /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist for the OS X Yosemite Installer and the OSX64_1010 system on the MBR HDD and OSX64_1010 system on the GPT HDD is:

<dict>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>/System/Library/Kernels/kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>kext-dev-mode=1 -v</string>
<key>PciRoot</key>
<string>1</string>   
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>   
</dict>

My graphics is enabled via DSDT.

The same happens with Chameleon v2.2svn r2401 installed on both my OS X Yosemite Installer USB flash drive and the HDDs / HDD volumes mentioned above…..

........BUT not with Chameleon v2.2svn r2401 installed on my Asus P5Q Pro HDDs and my Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus HDDs and the only difference is that I am not using Advanced Format HDDs as system drives in those PCs....I have not tried Chameleon v2.3svn r2455 yet on these PCs......

Do you have any suggestions as to what the issue(s) and solution(s) may be......?

Thanks in advance

verdant

UPDATE: Using

sudo dd if=/dev/rdiskXsY of=testfile bs=512 count=2

outputs:

testfile.tiff

indicating I believe that boot1h is installed to the boot sector of my GPT OSX 10.10 system volume.....

Hi oldnapalm...

I'm not sure... But can you test a "forced" CPU type in SMBIOS with SMcputype?

ErmaC

I have a strange behavior on my yosemite installation.

As on the screenshot I'm not able to get a serial number:

serialunavailable.png

It's really strange because while booting from HD I can't get a serial number, booting from an USB key bootloader I can get it correctely!

any help?

thank you

Same as for oldnapalm

Hi verdant.

Could you try the latest revison? 2465 from svn or precompiled

Commit 2465

Tried to set SMcputype=1281 but it still shows as "2,4 GHz Desconhecido"

msr, CurrDiv, Cores and Logical processor are different from 2401

I need to find where the problem came from...

so I need your help with a couple of test (I "deleted" from my local repo the original 2401 so I "recreated it)

Let me know the result with this 2401 if is ok I go step by step adding all the latest commit until the actual final release...

If not more step back are needed.

Hi ErmaC

Unfortunately no change with r2468 - Chameleon still does not boot OS X 10.10 direct from the Advanced Format HDD - only indirectly via a USB flash drive with Chameleon installed on it.

Larx · November 8, 2014

I tried 2401 still unknown processor.

ErmaC · November 8, 2014

I tried 2401 still unknown processor.

PLS a new TEST

Fabio, what you say about inject by default the kext-dev-mode=1 KF if the OS is 10.10??

Ok

Here we go...

NOTE: actually chameleon don't check if the flag already exist in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist. (I mean duplicated… more fine tuning is needed)

have you already try to completly remove

Kernel

/System/Library/Kernels/kernel

from yours org.chameleon.Boot.plist?

ErmaC

Micky1979 · November 8, 2014

....also UseKernelCache if is equal To YES must be removed because is already injected, based on SLE, kernelcache time.

Usefull only if you want your old kernelcache load, and see how the new kexts just installed that does not work :hysterical:

Fabio, but /Library/Extensions time is not monitorized?

Fabio, it work as expected!

Enoch_InstallLog.webarchive.zip

bdmesg_from_10.10.txt.zip (booted using UseKernelCache=No to see if all unsigned kexts works---> Ok)

bdmesg_from_10.9.5.txt.zip (too se if the kext-dev-mode=1 was injected on a Old OS --> no trace---> Ok)

Thanks.... can I have a build for Pandora with this implementation? :lol:

boots OX 10.10 successfully on my Advanced Format HDDs.....

Many thanks for solving my problem, BUT why does using

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>/System/Library/Kernels/kernel</string>

and

<key>UseKernelCache</key>

in org.chameleon.Boot.plist prevent booting of OS X 10.10 on my Advanced Format HDDs BUT NOT on my non-Advanced Format HDDs.....?

UPDATE: Also, 2469_Test2_kextDevFlag injects kext-dev-mode=1 into OS X 10.10 on my Advanced Format HDDs, using

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

and again with no

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>/System/Library/Kernels/kernel</string>

and

<key>UseKernelCache</key>

Hi, can you try to install chameleon (Enoch r2471) using Zeus.app? I've made modification to the install method of Chameleon based on the boot sector size detected... (if you want... please install that also in a USB stick before..)

...and you can show me a pict of the first windows?

This is an example:

verdant · November 9, 2014

Hi Micky1979

Here are screen shots of:

Zeus with OS X system 10.10 on AF HDD selected : AF HDD.tiff

and

Zeus with USB Installer flash drive selected : USB Installer.tiff

Only differences should be the /S/L/E, /L/E, kernelcache and/or kernel time that are no good..

Have you try to do that:

sudo -s
 
touch /System/library/Extensions

touch /Library/Extensions

rm -f /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache

kextcache -prelinked-kernel

on your "normal" hard disk?

...for the moment I can not imagine another issue..

EDIT

..because Yosemite has some kexts installed in /Library/Extensions too...

Yes I have....

And as I say, nothing in /S/L/E and /L/E and /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/ is different between OS X10.10 system on AF HDD and non-AF HDD

And nothing in /S/L/E and /L/E and /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/ in OS X10.10 system on AF HDD is changed between successfully booting off a USB flash drive with Chameleon and unsuccessfully trying to boot off the AF HDD with Chameleon, both using the same org.chameleon.Boot.plist with

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>/System/Library/Kernels/kernel</string>

and

<key>UseKernelCache</key>

that successfully boots 10.10 off any non-AF HDD....

Bungo · November 14, 2014

Tried to set SMcputype=1281 but it still shows as "2,4 GHz Desconhecido"

msr, CurrDiv, Cores and Logical processor are different from 2401

Still unknown ErmaC... Thank you !

Hi,

Can you try my branch v2469 with (IMHO) fix "Unknown Processor"? boot_v2469_bungo_branch.zip

Also:

- all (found) acpi tables loading - may help with native Power Management - needs testing

- saving all (found) factory acpi tables into IODT:/chosen/acpi

- final procedure for system-type (PM Profile) determining

- added new path for custom acpi tables storing /Extra/ACPI

- loading custom acpi tables if named SSDT-X.aml (X-number < 30)

- few minor changes in log (bdmesg) displaying

THX, Bungo
