I apply at the Kabyl revision 748 the recent Lion "patch"

(thx to Kabyl for his help in code correction and adaptation)

You can find the diff file at voodooprojects > HERE

• Include the Chameleon Lion Patch code by cparm (ported by oldnapalm)
  
• Include the Haiku - OpenBSD - FreeBSD as we see in diff V6 of the main trunk
  
• Into V3 I rework the code with Lion code from Trunk 760
  - As the other diff version the credits go the original author.

How use the .diff file...?

Fireup your terminal

- create a folder navigate into it.

- download the Chameleon2 RC5 source code:

svn co http://forge.voodooprojects.org/svn/chameleon/trunk

- download the diff patch file into the same first folder

patch -p0

- done...

 

You will see the patching code process like this...

Hey Fabio, great job with the patches. Would you like to add a installer for this version in your thread? It's more complete and I think it will be better for everybody.

 

Thank you

[ErmaC]

Thank you

 

Maybe I add a link to this... or this pkg file and source...

(I prefer preserve the other treand with official trunk source... maybe some voodoo developer can official add it... o part of it)

 

with the "cosmetics" compiling we can see some warnings.. (no idea how solve it, I'm not a coder...)

1)

bootstruct.c: In function ‘initKernBootStruct’:

bootstruct.c:54: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

 

2)

ati.c: In function ‘setup_ati_devprop’:

ati.c:662: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of ‘devprop_add_value’ differ in signedness

[oldnapalm]

Maybe it's better to keep this in a separated thread, but it would be nice if you attach an installer to your post (then we make it the first in this topic) because not everyone has Xcode installed.

thanx

"1)

Can it be some typo ?

bootArgs = (boot_args *)malloc(sizeof(boot_args));

bootArgsSnow = (boot_args *)malloc(sizeof(boot_args_snow));

bootstruct.c:54: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

 

bootArgs = (boot_args *)malloc(sizeof(boot_args));

bootArgsSnow = (boot_args_snow *)malloc(sizeof(boot_args_snow));

no warning

Yep!!

You right! one warnigs is gone

(I still don't know if is correct...)

 

soon I update the diff file

 

Fabio

 

EDIT: V2 of diff file added...

[oldnapalm]

I will do this things...

 

For now I add a "note" in the top of the first #post

Sorry, I mean to add an installer in your post "in this topic", not in the other one. I agree with you, it's better to have them separated for now, until Chameleon devs decide if the Lion patches will be added to the trunk. But it's up to you, do how you think it's better.

 

If you decide to add the installer in this topic, we move your post to the top, it's more informative for those who are arriving now. For now we leave Maldon's installer in the first post.

SL boots fine, but lion boots always into 64-bit kernal mode even when kernel flags set to arch=i386. Hope correct this bug soon. Why not use -usecahe flag for lion boot, which should be ignored by SL, that will fasten the boot process in Lion.

The -usecache flag with my patches also allows to use the kernelcache of Snow (it'll check the version to boot, if you have a kernelcache generated at the given path, it'll work...)

[digital_dreamer]

I notice that even with -usecache, it will still load all the kexts in S/L/E as if it were ignoring a boot cache (mkext from S/L/E). At least that's what it appears to be doing.

Is there a way to get it to just load the kernelcache when using -usecache?

 

Also, is it possible for the bootloader to load a mkext from /Extra and kernelcache from /System?

Or, how about a kernelcache from /Extra, plus the one from /System?

 

Just throwing around ideas.

You could try an other boot , which was made with the correction in the boot_args pasrt (some posts above). Maybe that was the problem (bug) some of the args where (in SL or LION) not used.

Att: boot with diff V2

boot.zip

[mrmojorisin17]

Thanks MaLd0N and thanks to all involved in the project for the great work.

I tried bootlader on my Snow Leopard installation with hardware in signature and I can boot into system, but like happen with other Chameleon (mozodojo or iReset unofficial installer) my system is very very slow and I can't use it.

Maybe the problem depends to an incompatibility with my Sandy Bridge's CPU or I don't know.

With Anval and RevoBoot I can boot successfully without problem.

 

p.s. Sorry for my poor english, hope you understand

Thanks mitch_de. I replaced the boot with the one you provided, but no luck. Still booting with 64-bit kernel.

[bbeepp]

Does it support mem & CPU detection, automatic P-States & C-States generation and restart fix?

[ramanujan20]

is there any installation file that i can run it on windows? i lost my usb flash boot so i cant open my lion. [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] doesn't work on my notebook because off MBR START and i cant change bios settings ( it is very basic bios)

 

Summary: is there any exe file for " Chameleon v2.0-RC5 r752 " or is there any way for run pkg files on windows?

 

thanks...

i've already installed mac os lion on my pc. i've lost my flash boot. i just need bootloader. anyway i gonna install snow leopard for temprory solution.

If you try to read, what I advised for you, you'll find the answer to your question.

[edgar87]

It boots SL, but Lion gives KP on boot with this boot file..

Is there something special that I must do to boot Lion?

[-CEOS-]

graphics enabler for 8800gts 512 doesn't work in Snow leo.

[Time2Retire]

I'm quite pissed about something. Here's why:

 

Not only did I found out why, but I also fixed the kernelcache and adler generation bugs. Which nobody did before me! And yes, you can find it in this forum (well documented).

 

Next to that I introduced /chosen/boot-uuid with RevoBoot so this one is mine too (also well documented).

 

I also was the first person to solve the __bzero compiler error for Xcode 4 (PM'ed melkort about it).

 

Now have a look at RevoBoot and the efi changes in Chameleon. Noticed something? Yes. There's even more yet I see no credit in my name?!? Why is that?

 

So how long do you guys want to wait for real Sandy Bridge support in your boot loader? Oh yeah. You can have a look at my work and see that what I did so far, isn't anywhere available. Not in any boot loader... and now I should accept people to use my hard labor and as thanks I get no credit for my hard work?

 

Just lame excuses and getting me a big finger won't help anyone. Now take a look at how long the Chameleon branches were in a stalled state.

 

So are you prepared to wait another year?

[oldnapalm]

I think the i386 problem was introduced my me porting Andy's patches to Chameleon.

 

In PC_EFI there's only setupEfiTables in fake_efi.c, and in Chameleon there are setupEfiTables32 and setupEfiTables64, maybe I missed something.

[ErmaC]

I'm sorry if I forgot to credit you!

 

LION patch credits: All the credits go to the Chameleon team, Andy Vandijck, cparm, netkas, DutchHockeyPro

and all involved in the development in any way.
