Thanks for your help, but I still cannot make my Hackintosh Lion Amd self boot. I have no idea what my Chameleon Pbootlist wants from me, I do not know what command it wants from me to make it self boot. This is what it looks like right now.

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

This (from post 465)

Code:

-legacy UsekernelCache=No PCIRootUID=0

plus this

Code:

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-legacy npci=0x3000</string>
<key>Quiet Boot</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>PCIRootUID</key>
<string>0</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>No</string>
</dict>
</plist>

equals this:

Code:

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-legacy UseKernelCache=No PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x3000</string>
<key>Quiet Boot</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Thanks, but it still acts dumb. I still have to shut my computer off once before it boots up properly the 2nd time I boot it up... What a weird way to boot up an Operating System... Maybe the command -legacy UseKernelCache=No PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x3000 isn't the right command for my Amd Phenom II x4 965 3.4ghz with a gtx 570... I'm totally stumped..

Try the kernel flag -f. My laptop running vanilla Lion won't boot without it, so I just thought...

Is that where I put the f or should I put the -f at a different spot? Should I be using npci=0x3000 or npci=0x2000? Or would that not be causing any problems if I was using the wrong npci?

If your npci value is incorrect, then at boot time it'll hang at [PCI Configuration Begin]. Some motherboards don't need it at all, as far as I know. If you want -f to be permanent, then yes, that's the right place to put it; however, I thought you might want to try typing -f at boot time just to see if it makes a difference.

I can't fit the -f at boot time. It stops typing when I type all this in -legacy UseKernelCache=No PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x3000. If I cut out the PCIRootUID=0 or npci=0x3000 I might be able too but that would cause a problem would it not?

Oh yeah, also do you know of a safe tool to clean my browser cache without hurting Hackintosh Lion? I've noticed that my Safari Browser is loading webpages slowly lately and I don't think it's my connection but maybe something linked to the browser? Thanks

I think -f is working, but I notice I still get Kernel Panics every so often in 10.7.4 Amd Hackintosh Lion. I thought this was linked to Google Chrome but I must be wrong. Could it be that these browsers are 64 bit browsers and that is what is causing the crash? I got a Kernel Panic when I started up with -f but it was boot the os... So I don't know, maybe -f is causing Panics? I don't think it was, I think it's just confidence, if anything it is because my browsers might be 64 bit on Lion but I need 32 bit Browsers?

Thanks, but that -f didn't fix anything. It still refuses to self-boot, this is quite frustrating that the most annoying part about Hackintosh for me is to get it to self-boot.
