_TEST VERSION_

 

Hi guys here a revised version of chameleon released by Bronya.

 

-->

 

The changes made are in the cpu detection method (hopefully better brandString detection).

 

pls we need feedback on it!

 

ErmaC

 

ShowInfo

Yes

Graphics Mode

1024x768x32

GraphicsEnabler

No

Instant Menu

Yes

Legacy Logo

No

Kernel

kernel

 Kernel Flags

-v kext-dev-mode=1 PCIRootUID=0

UseKernelCache

No

 

 

@chris111

The KernelFlag kext-dev-mode=1 is not needed anymore with Chameleon or Enoch!

Chammy and Enoch inject it authomatically that KernelFlag if Yosemite is found...

Would it be possible to add native UEFI support to Chameleon?

 

Add Chameleon to a loadable efi binary?!!

http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-programming/hello.html

 

We can use code from grub or clover.

 

All PCs sold over the last couple of years have UEFI support and use it by default.

 

(Hope that's even possible)

Question:

 

It is possible in the boot loader still another function in to insert those the hard disk partitions hide.

meant: Windows Partitions are not show under Yosemite ?

 

Depending upon which partition to be visible is gives can be booted

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error Message too 2686:

with 2679 my graphics card was as Nvidia GTX 650 with 2047 MB VRAM.

after installation of the version 2686 VRAM is indicated as 0 MB.

 

However now ist the graphics card with the correct designation shown ?

Chameleon is designed to be legacy bootloader.

Chameleon is designed to be legacy bootloader.

My idea was making a simple efi app (ChmaleonLoader.efi) which can replace boot0 and chainload the rest of the boot loader. From there, Chameleon can load Mac OS as it does on a regular BIOS machine. (as opposed to boot.efi in Clover)

 

I'm no expert, but I hope this is doable.

Chameleon requires legacy BIOS (CSM) to work. And the BIOS must start in legacy mode, not in UEFI mode.

If your idea is to start BIOS in UEFI mode and then call Chameleon then you will encounter the same problem as Clover already has: switch to legacy mode becames impossible.

@ErmaC, Micky1979

 

Found the same problem since 2629~2687 as below,

and after patched back to 2628 for fake_efi.c, boot to 10.10.x as FINE as before.

(only got problem to boot 10.10.x, and it's fine to boot 10.9.x and old version.)

 

FYI.  fake_efi.diff.zip

 

Have a nice day.

I was thinking about open a specific topic but let's try to handle here...

 

I add the ability to detect the codec id of each audio chipset.

Big thanks to Zenith432 to provite the HDA bus scan function.

 

If you normally use the HDAEnabler key for the injection of the custom or default layout-id now you can also see the finded codec in your Motherboard or Graphics card.

 

So as usual in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist

...	<key>HDAEnabler</key>
	<string>Yes</string>...
Cordially

ErmaC

 

Thx crazybirdy...

Yep I receive few "feedback" about blocked at boot... and I also w8 for other feedback about for other changes...

 

I will attach here some revision including those correction for the random-seed algo.

Here a new TEST build: more typo for the HDA Device, general output cleanup, and the potential issue fixed for the random-seed algo (thx crazybirdy)

 

PLS! feedback...

(binary format: use manual install or Chameleon Wizard... I'm not going to make a pkg only for testing purpose...)

--> Uploaded on the download section (Chameleon and Enoch)

Thanks for quick reply. :D:thumbsup_anim: :thumbsup_anim:

Build 2697 from svn and test both 2697 & 2698 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/59-chameleon-23-svn/

still get the same error as above.

 

How to make RANDOMSEED work?

 

fake_efi.c

#ifndef RANDOMSEED	#define RANDOMSEED 0#endif
thx.

 

crazybirdy

Hi crazybirdy

 

Switch to

#ifndef RANDOMSEED

#define RANDOMSEED 1

#endif

And the first part of the code will be used at compiling time instead of the second part of the code.

 

Anyway later I commit other changes and I set this value permanently...

So or you made the change yourself ( change 0 to 1) or w8 for the next commits.

 

Let me know...

 

EDIT: Done... revision 2700 in the download section already have those changes

Hi ErmaC.

 

I see, and test with 2699(svn) and 2700(download section), both work fine here now.

 

good job, thanks. :yes: :yes:
