liujianwei Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Easy: since r2380 the Extra folder containing your Theme and modules (if needed) must be place to the partition that Chameleon use to boot (the one where the installer copy the "boot" file). Then for each partition you have you must have a copy of the Extra folder containing the specific org.chameleon.Boot.plist, the SMBios.plist and your ACPI tables (like DSDT.aml, SSDT.aml etc.), so you can customize it! Micky I have another question,how did I know if I need SSDT.aml?Is this HWMonitor means I don't need SSDT.aml and SpeedStep works well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bit Shoveler Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 WIth Yosemite out, I'm going through the codebase again with the Clang static analyzer and Cppcheck, and I'll have patches for review in a couple of days. Most of what I've found so far is problems in error handling. So by the time the bug is triggered, something was already broken (usually memory allocation). But fixing them can mean the difference between an error message telling you what happened and a freeze. My changes will be in SVN under branches/chucko . Feel free to try them out, I have a pretty ancient Hack and many of the newer features aren't applicable to my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone working on getting modules to load again so FileNVRAM and iMessage work in 10.10? g\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liujianwei Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It's not required for SpeedStepping on a Core2Duo CPU. It is with "i" Core models, especially from 2nd generation onwards in order to obtain turbo boosting. I don't get it,you means SSDT.aml is for enable turbo boosting,not for speedstepping?speedstep is enable on most hackintosh without SSDT.aml?

Bit Shoveler Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've updated my branch from the trunk (including all the updates ErmaC mentions) and checked in a bunch of changes, mostly little fixes to problems exposed by automated source code analysis. There are no new features, just fixes. I'm booted from it as I write. You can download the installer and MD5 signature from my own website. Use at your own risk, but please report any problems. Many thanks to the entire team. I hope my contributions are useful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interinv Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hi All! After installation of chameleon 2.3 (2434, 2437) it panics when i try to boot into 10.9. It tries to mount esd.dmg from /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite Dev... .app then panics. But i have no Install OS X Yosemite Dev... .app at all. How to avoid this?

Jingu Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I've noticed an anomaly with Chameleon when booting legacy mode in my UEFI system. Chameleon is not loading any of my kexts in Extra/Extensions, resulting in my system stalling on the boot screen. Chameleon only loads kexts from Extra/Extensions when booting in safe mode with -x. I'm using r2437. Chameleon is installed on my Mavericks 10.9.5 OS X partition. I have an Asus AMI UEFI Aptio bios. I was getting the boot0 error on my 4K sector hard drive. The fix is to boot in another OS X, like the Mac OS X Installer, and unmount the Mac OS X partition before doing dd if=boot1h... Unmounting the OS X partition before doing dd was the key.] This boot0 error fix was so effective and useful that I think this should be on your first page with the rest to the guides. I had to do quite a search before landing on a fix that finally works. Now, back to my anomaly. Chameleon is not loading any kexts from Extra/Extensions in legacy boot from uefi system. Is it my system, or is it a limitation from Chameleon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marionez Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I have a strange behavior on my yosemite installation. As on the screenshot I'm not able to get a serial number: 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not depending on 4k. It is OSX caching so dd works in memory but not on drive. Slice, thanks! That was it. What you said made me just discover that Chameleon is booting with kernel cache enabled by default. I have to use UseKernelCache=No. It takes longer to boot, but at least my kexts in Extra/Extension are loaded without having to use safe mode.

I know is possible in Mavericks because always worked for me, but in Yosemite I can't load Extensions from /Extra/E..., only works from /S/L/E (and "UKC=No" for the installation process, to avoid the "kernelcache") . Maybe in Yosemite the kernel patch is needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingu Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 That's right. I'm using Mavericks and just discovered that using UseKernelCache=No will load kexts from /Extra/Extensions. You 're saying this won't work anymore in Yosemite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verdant Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Neither Chameleon 2.3 svn r2434 or r2437 boot OS X 10.10 on my Asus P5Q Pro.......the "LEDs" for the OS X 10.10 and Recovery HD icons stay red when they are selected.....whereas with Chameleon 2.2 svn r2401there is no Recovery HD icon present but the HDD icon "LED" for OS X 10.10 changes to green when icon is selected and OS X 10.10 boots successfully.....I suspect this could also be true for my Asus P5Q E and Asus P5N 32E SLI Plus.....
