jazzyguy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If I have Chameleon installed, can I just take the boot file? Or would all of clover be needed? I'm unfamiliar with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSmith3 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Clover doesn't seem to want to work for me. Hangs at a 6 and a blinking _. Chameleon boots fine with the modified SystemVersion.plist but the installer crashes with error messages in the log about requiring 10.8...

janek202 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Here are chameleons 1819 I compiled and were used to boot 10.8. I haven't tested them myself! 1. Tested by my friend that boots ONLY 10.8. (maybe also Snow Leopard, I don't know) 2. NOT TESTED that should be able to boot any OS X system. It compiled fine. Thanks to MietasSR for help. I will try to post diff file tomorrow, if second version of the file works fine. No more SystemVersion editions are required. I haven't installed Mountain Lion. Please don't ask me how to install this! I just edited Chameleon. boot_only108_by_janek202.zip boot_all_nottested_by_janek202.zip boot_allnottested_v2_by_janek202.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyguy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 So what exactly is the process for install? We need to replace chameleon? And then we have to do what? I haven't downloaded yet, as I am not home. But is it a separate installer we install from another partition? Or an upgrade? Or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah101 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Currently I am copying the base image. If I understand this thread I have to then run Chameleon 1819 on the USB stick, then replace the system version.plist with one using the 10.7 instead of 10.8, then boot and install? Will try this now and report back. EDIT: Ok so running 1819 on the USB drive did not let me get past bios post screen. I do know that if I don't run chameleon on the drive, I can see it in my normal boot options, the deal is I get a KP if I try and boot that way. Any suggestions? EDIT 2: Currently trying to boot from a backup drive running chameleon boot file janek provided, and then from there boot the USB Drive with just the ML image copied. Will report back, EDIT 3: Backup drive won't boot, maybe I replaced the wrong boot file. Will keep trying until I figure this out. EDIT 4: I think I did something wrong. Now, after I restored the BSD to the USB, it won't even let my computer get past the post screen. I guess I will wait till there is a definite guide to do this, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 @janek202 both work to boot 10.8 but #2 fails to boot 10.7 (prints "Mach-O file has bad magic number" and goes back to menu) and 10.6 hangs at "IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87". 10.6 boots fine.

ErmaC Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 well... is very late for me... Here what I try to do... (I'm not a coder... so..) i386/boot2/boot.c libsaio/bootstruct.c I "simply" add || (OR) for 10.8 Goodnight. Nice to know !!! I have also a ready patch for OS X detection (based on cparm OS X detection) I just add the Mountain "things" EDIT: I commit this change in my Trunk Branches Enjoy Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Haibara Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) It seems like Parallels Desktop is able to boot OS X Mountain Lion without any modification. Are they using some specially modified version of Chameleon/boot-132 to achieve this? Edited March 30, 2019 by Ai Haibara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ririholic Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I`m getting kernel panic. It says something about IOService, AppleACPIPlatformExpert and IOUSBMassStorageClass.

M0rpheus Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Mine boots fine, full graphics support without having to edit any files (I have my graphics injected via DSDT). Only issue is it seems to stay stuck for a while on IOAPIC when booting. It continue after that, just annoying that it takes ~1 min. I'm sure this will be smoothed out in time. For now though, seems to be running really well for a dev preview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSCXP2005 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi to all, Does anybody know if the Developer Preview will work with Intel 950GMA if the Graphics are applied by DSDT? Thank you for your time. All the best, NSCXP2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
