ok i'm back. Everything worked. I was forced to boot the installer in -x32 (in 64bit KP few seconds after snow is installing).

Now the only bad thing is that SL doesn't correctly recognise my CPU speed (stuck at 2.07Ghz instead of 3.0Ghz even if i installed VoodooPower.kext).

Thanks sk1nhd33t for your great guide!
Cheers!

try adding these to your smbios.plist, replace the string that corresponds to your processor.

<key>SMexternalclock</key>
<string>Your CPU FSB in MHz goes here</string>
<key>SMmaximalclock</key>
<string>Your CPU max speed in MHz goes here</string>

Hi,
Thanks for the great guide. Everything works for me but i have one problem. I had 2 partition one with Snow leopard beta and I installed from that 10a432 on another one. The problem is I cannot install Chameleon in snow leopard. I get install error. I tried with efi 10 but the boot file doesn't work.
Anyone knows a way to install Chameleon from SL?? Also other installer packages give me the same error..

Thank you

@ drbee

do it under Leopard, but since you already tried installing it on snow doing it in leopard will give an error too so

- show all hidden files and delete .Chameleon folder on root (take note of the dot)
- install Chameleon

OR just add the boot-uuid on your snow's boot.plist and let your leopard's chameleon do the booting. No more need to press F12 (ES2L) or F8 (other mobo) if you wanna switch OS from one drive to the other

Hi sk1nhd33t,

i modified the smbios.plist adding:

Code:
	<key>SMmaximalclock</key>
	<string>3000</string>
and it seems to work (i'm wondering if the cpu is actually working at 3.0Ghz).



I noticed that the VoodooPower.kext i grab somewhere doesn't work!
Where i can found a 64bit VodooPower.kext that works ?

thanks in advance!
cheers!

@Mac_Dude

manual sleep working fine here except automatic sleep which cease to function from 10.5.7, here's the combination of kext if ever.

AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement + NullCPUPowermanagement + Sleepenabler = sleep

or just delete AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, you get sleep but higher temps (about 8-10C)

@ cili0

AFAIK there is no 64bit voodoopower yet which im also waiting and realtekr1000 64.

i searched a while in the superhai forum, and actually there's no 64bit VooodooPower.kext, i don't know where i found that version!

However i fixed the sleep problem, it works in Leopard,SL x32, but KP occurs after wake up in x64.

sk1nhd33t, thx a lot for your proper guide m8, I have made another one based on yours but slightly changed.

I'm now 3 hours and a half in 64bit and no panics

I always figured the USB install method would be best since you are installing from an SL environment.

Anyway, thx again and have fun with the OS
