It automatically makes the file when you use it.

Well I can state that this does not work for me. Something is off, and it is not only with the DUET bootloader, but also XPC. I select the disk I want to boot from, then it just goes to a grey screen. The hard drive light is inactive. It would be great if there was a sure way to get this working for everyone. Can we have some guidance? I am not new when it comes to this stuff, and I understand exactly what I am doing, but the files simply do not work for me. For the sake of me as well as inexperienced users, a simple guide would be great. And the readme is not nearly enough.

P.S. I can even load rEFIt if it is on macintosh HD, but yet again, it will not actually load the OS.

Mine tries to boot DVD errors out (no dvd in drive) then appears to lock up.
Haven't tried with DVD.More info would be great.

There is a slight delay booting Snow Leopard right now. The efi partition table is hidden in SL and there are some 64bit functions in boot.efi that it scans over before loading the file. I am in the middle of fixing it.

Leopard loads extremely fast. I can reach the desktop from the GUI in about 5 seconds.

Tiger loads even faster.

5 seconds, that is incredible. What is your hardware? I will try a leopard DVD. How long should I wat for snow leopard to load? I have given it quite some time (15 minutes with nothing but a black screen). I am using a GA-EP45T-UD3LR with AHCI, 64bit HPET, and for the record chameleon is installed on the drive, i hope that isn't conflicting.

Drop me a message on AIM if you feel like chatting about this, blkhockeypro19
I know some people that have some really great ideas of how to expand upon this.

There is no SMBIOS patch at the moment. Boot with arch=x86_64 by pressing M at the GUI and adding your boot flags. fakesmc.kext fails to load in64bit with iBoot, so drop it in S/L/E. Come to IRC and talk to "Bryan" if you need more help.

I´ve just compilled uefi edk/edk2 duet (both) booted up my linux drive and it seems the 4gb ram "bug" is there too, so it's not related to iboot..

edit:

i´ve just found if i use acpipatcher.efi in modules and i add a couple of fake .aml tables the bug is gone, lol dirty but it works





btw: very nice work guys, congrats , sorry if i didnt say it in my previous post
