Hi Fabio

 

Thanks for the confirmation. I've just tried booting with mozodojo's rev755 and it behaves as I mentioned earlier and doesn't load from /Extra/10.6/Extensions/. So that's the point of origin to look at for me.

 

I did keep my eye on valv's topic when he was developing his branch, although I never actually used it, and I remember valv adding nawcom's code for FreeBSD/OpenBSD because he asked for those icons which I designed. I also remember commenting about the compiling verbose massages to Meklort in the topic here at IM about his branch so I did recognise that when I saw it ;)

 

Regards

 

well now with diff V5 the extra code FreeBSD/OpenBSD and Haiku are correct implemented..

 

now...

with diff V5 not load /Extra/10.6/Extensions/...

and /Extra/10.7/Extensions/ ?

 

with Oldnapalm ported code yes?

 

also what version can boot the two OSX (10.6.x and 10.7.x) in 32 and 64 bit mode?

 

so I have a light to follow...

Just testing now.....

 

Oldnapalm's posted source can:

• Boot both 10.6 and 10.7 with the kernel in both 32bit and 64bit mode.

• Load FakeSMC.kext from /Extra/10.6/Extensions and /Extra/10.7/Extensions

 

Applying the diff v5 against the Chameleon trunk r753, it can:

• Boot both 10.6 and 10.7 with the kernel in both 32bit and 64bit mode (But needs FakeSMC.kext in /System/Library/Extensions).

• FakeSMC.kext didn't load from /Extra/10.6/Extensions, /Extra/10.7/Extensions, or even /Extra/Extensions

 

Note: The above tests were using only FakeSMC.kext and not using any mkext.

I'd hold off until that source code is published because so far there are reports that it doesn't work at all with socket 775 cpu's so not sure I'd call it the 'best of all branches' just yet.

Lol.. 'best of all branches' was just a figure of speech and yes, until the code is posted and looked at, as Kabyl asked, then I'm just giving it the benefit of the doubt. I haven't tried it and haven't read anything about the results of that code so thanks for the note about it.

 

It also doesn't contain any support for recent AMD GPU's however that should hopefully be fixed soon as i have given them the modified source code that I used to get it working on a sandybridge build based on kabyl and AnVal's code.

So you've contributed to it too? Is adding that maybe the reason for the delay in the source being posted?

Exactly my problem, even though it DID actually load FakeSMC.kext from /E/E a few times. Seems to be random.

Confirmed, now FakeSMC.kext loads properly from E/E. :)

Now I wish someone would revise and merge all these changes with the main Chameleon trunk.

For some reason, FakeSMC (I put it in /S/L/E) is not loading for me when I used the "boot" file from here 752 and 755 (stuck at waiting for Dsmos)

 

While Anval's "boot"

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1674711

 

load FakeSMC fine, but does not go into GUI

 

Can't boot into GUI after 11A444d update

 

Original install (DP2 - 11a419)

then updated to DP2 Update 1 - 11a430e - OK

then update to DP2 Update 2 - 11A444d - can't go into GUI

 

also

 

 

fdisk440 does not seem to run in 64bit? I get IIRC "Illegal operation: 4"

Here's the diff I'm using against trunk r755, it includes only the changes present in the source package in the OP

trunk_r755_lion.diff.zip

I've just applied this diff against the Chameleon trunk r753 and everything works well.

I've tested the posted binary rather than compiling from source but yep, this works well also.

You did remember to trash /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/* after adding FakeSMC to /S/L/E ?

I use -f -v, and not use the cache during testing.

 

I tried the v6 from iReset/Fabio (it was in the middle of the 1st page, now I see it) and Slice's FakeSMC 3.1

 

FakeSMC did get loaded..

The "DSMOS has arrived" message doesn't show up

hmmm. I guess you waited a minute to see if it passed that point?

 

But I'm out of ideas and don't know why you see the FakeSMC verbose messages (as your screenshot), but DSMOS never arrives. Sorry. Hopefully somebody else will have some further ideas for you. I'm tired and off to bed. If I think of anything I'll update this post.

Lion still booting with 64-bit kernel, even with arch=i386 in com.apple.Boot.plist :D

I had that problem, I cleared out the cache and replaced the AppleIntelPowermanagerment kext with the original and then it started working again.

{censored}in hell, that's exactly what i got on my setup.. i posted just page or 2 back and none cared...but when i left it for very long time(over 20min) it eventually went into gui. at least once it did. then it f* my whole setup, including snow leo. i had to go from scratch(i hate time machine...)

for 32bits on chamaleon RC5 75X use i386 flag, NO arch=i386

 

Can't you people agree on one naming convention? I've seen arch=i386, arch=x86_32 an now it's i386 alone.

 

Btw... thanks for the great bootloader :)

replace the "boot" file or use iReset Installer

I've installed it using Pacifist, then copied boot file from i386 to root. Is this ok?

 

My Snow Leo boots fine and it says build755 at the top.

 

Edit: Updated using iReset's installer, just in case. Thanks to both of you.
