But cparm also has a branch @ chameleon forge site... (not sure if it is allready updated though...)
You can get it through SVN...
I may update my branch though (when I have the time) with this code
That is the point to have a branch so main trunk to get the "fruits" from all.
I do hope both of you will update own branch, especial since I smell a new release, it is time IMHO...
It will be a pitty to not have the new stuff you guys are working on since I don't think someone digg the forums for patches and diff's...

hi king,

don't worry i will update my branch soon, it will integrate the patch that andy sent to me, some patchs found in the trunk, plus some others bug fix and speed improvement (and maybe it will solve a problem for those who have an instant reboot with acpipatcher)

peace,

cparm

ok , done !!!

please guys tell me if you found any bugs with this release .

the next release will replace module extension from .dylib to .bundle (a feature that i will merge from an old chameleon build that i had called Masherbrum),
the contents of thoses bundles will be the same as a kext :
*.bundle/Contents/
*.bundle/Contents/Info.plist (specific preferences of the module will be moved here, com.apple.Boot.plist will only contain general preferences of the bootloader exactly as OSX, info.plist will also provide some usefull info like copyright, version/revision, author(s), etc ..., and as any bundle/kext/app/etc... some of those info. will be accessible from the finder)
*.bundle/Contents/MacOS
*.bundle/Contents/Plugins
*.bundle/Contents/Resources

the goal is to simplify the usage of those modules, with a mechanism that everyone already know ... aka the OSX's kext

i will upload a first beta here, after having sent it to the persons with whom I usually work

boot in /

Hi all, and thanks for keeping osx86 alive...

My query... to the devs..

Replacing the i386 files with yours... I also overwrite the boot in root / with yours...
this is what I always do anyways...

It works great... but the GUI is gone, it is just the asci interface...

and when it boots, it says cannot read from beginning of partition (disk 0, ... sector 0, etc)

loads a few files from /Extra, then says pause for 5 sec because had a problem in the boot...

Then everything is normal...

Any idea what this means... never had that before with the other bootloaders...

do I keep the previous boot file Anval 5. or the one in Cameleon RC5 in / instead...

and if I do, will it not remove the benefits of the new bootloader, or do these benefits actually come from the files in i386?

Thanks in advance...

Take care

I've updated the latest sources slightly.
It now has support for exotic i5 and i9 cpus.
It spoofs the model (and the family) as Nehalem.
For download of the built boot loader you can look at the first post (I updated the link)
