Frank Nitty Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 So since the latest version of Chameleon, 2.3 svn r2716 doesn't support booting El Capitan on legacy motherboards without UEFI BIOS and as a result users have to resort to using at least Enoch r2725, does this mean development for EC support on the Chameleon bootloader has been halted or will development for later versions of Chameleon be discontinued?

mitch_de Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I use latest Chameleon 2773 on an non UEFI (old) board - works. Cant see that chameleon only works on newer boards with UEFI firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky1979 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Guys read the first page. Let us finish something(s), is free time... and at the end Chameleon should almost be Enoch.. so.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockDown Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 i have i5-4460 using 2773 package and 2774 boot file from ErmaC. It restarts after i pressed chameleon GUI. Tried settings of KernelcpuFamily & KernelHaswell but no avail. Any info? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky1979 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 you got the GUY GUI and select an OS... It happen immediately or after some seconds? I need to understand, can you see any error in verbose mode?. Can you post your o.c.B.p and kernel.plist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockDown Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Im already out. It happenes after a few seconds after reading boot.plist (like what you see when you open bdmesg). It never reaches loading kernel or loading kexts.I will post it ASAP. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never reaches loading kernel or loading kexts.I will post it ASAP. Thanks To see loading kexts you have to run the kernel instead of the kernelcache/prelinkedcache (-f or UseKernelCache=No). Please this make a big diff.. And any Extensions.mkext somewhere to be removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi, Enter open chameleon plist (sorry, forgot the name) in a terminal window and see if it opens in the plist editor, or that it bails with an error. If the plist is broken, then you could run into reboot issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pike R. Alpha Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Great. You know. I recently had a similar experience with com.apple.Boot.plist and added this check: // Build XML dictionary. if (ParseXMLFile(config->plist, &config-->dictionary) > 0) { return EFI_SUCCESS; } else { error("ERROR: failed to parse: com.apple.Boot.plist"); } 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch_de Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 At least Clover-XS should be possible Both bootloders have great Devs, which spend much private time to us as their "customers" THANKS! Thats the main thing, really kind + great DEVS at bootloaders - beside useless comments which is "better". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky1979 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) At least Clover-XS should be possible Both bootloders have great Devs, which spend much private time to us as their "customers" THANKS! Thats the main thing, really kind + great DEVS at bootloaders - beside useless comments which is "better". Since El Capitan comes out this summer, when I do something for the bootloader... was only for fun! Basically, all thing here is only for fun but: since I came here on InsanelyMac, I learned many things, obj-c, Swift, C#. Not sure I have time to do these things in the future, but in the meantime, I paid $99 for my Dev ID account at Apple because I plan to publish something I'm working on .. So staying here is fun and you learn, and I hope that all developpers are having fun in programming!

bluenote56 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Let me chime in on this one as well. I was reading this: "This patch will fix i5-2500K issue, too." and thought... huh? Which issue? You know. I am actually typing this on a hack with a Gigabyte motherboard with an Intel i5-2500K and I can't remember having seen any issue. Not at all. What am I missing here? Hi I suppose my situation is different, but with my mixed Z77/i5-2500k there's no way (at least for me) to get it working. I mean it's not recognized and so on. ErmaC is giving me some very appreciated help about it at the moment but any suggest to fix it would be great. Thanks all of you for what you do for dumb "hackintoshers" like me. lol. ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not only fix it at once but I also got HDMI sound for my monitor. I followed the simple way, I mean I just had to add the downloaded SSDT in my Extra folder. Boom!! everything perfect. Thanks again to all those who work to give us the pleasure of a performing hackintosh. Grazie mille davvero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klonkrieger2 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hi Guys! I'm experiencing an issue with chameleon/enoch bootloader. First my CPU is: Intel Xeon CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz At lease since version 2716 my CPU Clock readout is wrong. The issue remains with current version 2779. I think the problem ist the wrong BLCK. In bdmesg is says: Sticking with [BCLK: 99Mhz, Bus-Ratio: 30] But BCLK of course should be 100Mhz. Can this be solved with a smbios.plist entry or is it a bug in recent versions of chameleon bootloader? Best Regards, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klonkrieger2 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hi Slice, thanks for your answer. As you wrote in the clover thread, the BCLK / Clock speed affects audio/sound. For now I use Chimera 4.1 Bootloader (i know you guys don't like tonymac here...) which gives me the "correct"?! BCLK of 100MHz. In the past I often experienced audio dropouts and glitches with iTunes and Cubase. I own a semi-professional Firewire Audio Interface "Presonus FP10". With my new setup, the audio glitches seem to be disappeared. Mayne this helps you and others for further investigations on this specific issue. I could also think of a problem that the CPU clock speed interferes with FF clock speed and the external clock-sync "44.1KHz" of my audio interface.
