Has anyone been able to find a place for support for these 4 bootloaders, that are suppose to boot Lion in the future?

I had tried IRC, but it seems there are "people" there, but no one replies..

What about for MSI mainboard users?

The systems I have "heard" from the forums working

Asus
Gigabyte
Sony Notebook

I have the correct CPU, but not the right board..

----
I have tried both XPC latest and iBoot

I don't know where to get help for bootloaders like xpc and iboot, I tried the irc, but there is no body reply to my message there.

is there any way to load smbios.plist into the iboot 1.5a? I am getting this error:

can't locate smbios protocol, not found

then

there were errors converting smbios system table : not found

----

there are at least 3 version of Iboot

1) the one from Osninja
2) the tonymac86 one
3) xiezhy in beijing one

Its hard to search in google because they don't match up.

at last i try to use xpc 0.82.33 (http://download135.mediafire.com/18zwaf58jwzg/7zz5auzknab66nz/XPC-0.82.33.rar) from MF and it's boot to my system …. (i've tried some XPC version before without any luck :D :D )

install it in my Kingstone 4GB DataTraveler (DTIG3/4GBFR) put kexts in extra_kext folder (i used in E/E in my SL Server ….just try too put them there…:D :D …and yes you're right..there's no information to config); then edit the system.plist inside XPC folder with something like this

<key>SmbiosTables</key>
<dict>
<key>Table</key>
<dict>
<key>Type</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>BiosVersion</key>
<string>MP31.B05.0801021250</string>
<key>BiosVendor</key>
<string>Apple Inc.</string>
</dict>
<key>Table</key>
<dict>
<key>Type</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>Manufacturer</key>
<string>Apple Inc.</string>
<key>ProductName</key>
<string>MacPro3,1</string>
<key>Family</key>
<string>Mac</string>
<key>SerialNumber</key>
<string>G8829559XYL</string>
<key>SKUNumber</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>Version</key>
<string>1.5</string>
</dict>
<key>Table</key>
<dict>
<key>Type</key>
<integer>2</integer>
<key>Manufacturer</key>
<string>Apple Inc.</string>
<key>ProductName</key>
<string>Mac-F4208AC8</string>
<key>AssetTag</key>
<string>MacPro</string>
<key>SerialNumber</key>
<string>CK0020DZE1D</string>
<key>LocationInChassis</key>
<string>None</string>
<key>Version</key>
<string>0.0</string>
</dict>

you can edit it what you want ….
and here's is the result in my system :D

I did try that, but after "DP2" then "Update 2" it does not boot into GUI
