PC EFI V10 now released with Snow Leopard support

nice. that's all i've been waiting for to give SL a try

I've tried it on my AMD machine, and Leo wont boot.

-Leo 10.5.7
-Voodoo Kernel 9.6.0
-Chameleon 2 RC1

Restored boot file, now it works fine again.

I think i'm gonna stick with BootThink...
Don't like the fact i needs a DSDT to boot...

@maya77I've tried it on my AMD machine, and Leo wont boot. -Leo 10.5.7 -Voodoo Kernel 9.6.0 -Chameleon 2 RC1 Restored boot file, now it works fine again.

Anyone have idea why this does not work for me?

dsdt.aml is in system partition root (created using DSDT Patcher/UInstaller).

Try This ...

Make sure you install Chameleon 2 rc1 r431 FIRST ( chameleon.osx 86.hu/file_download/22/Chameleon-2.0-r431.pkg.zip )

BEFORE you replace "boot" with the one from netkas ... ( also the dsdt.aml should be present ... )

It should work for Leo ... ( I still can't get Snow to boot on AMD so the end effect is worthless ... )

@Voyn1xNetkas has just released a new version of PC_EFI with full support for Snow Leopard.

funny it doesn't boot the current snow leo tho

@mindlessmissyMake sure you install Chameleon 2 rc1 r431 FIRST ( chameleon.osx 86.hu/file_download/22/Chameleon-2.0-r431.pkg.zip ) BEFORE you replace "boot" with the one from netkas ...

That's exactly what i have done.

-Installed Leo 10.5.6 retail
-Installed Voodoo kernel
-Installed Chameleon 2 RC1
-Upgraded to 10.5.7

dsdt.aml created and copied to system partition root.

When I replace "boot" system will never boot. There is Chameleon boot menu, I select Leo partition, then it comes to Apple logo and just freezes. Verbose mode gives no useful info here.

@tham50funny it doesn't boot the current snow leo tho

Are ya sure about that? I got Snow Leo 10A394 booted perfectolicious with this booter.

Can you help to post a tutorial. I have a hard time even with the package. It does not want to install- reported "failed" every time. The only time I can do it is a fresh install into a new partition. But as far as SL, it's still no go.

Well, I already have a tutorial covering most parts...

Try booting with -x32 AND with a patched DSDT.

It's what I used

My bad. But the only way for me to boot my SL 10A380 or 10A394 is with flag -x32. The funny thing is with PCEFIv9 and kernel 10A394, it sleeps well. The current v10 does not put the machine to sleep properly. That's all I can tell for right now. I'll post more once an issue comes up.

I find it easier to to lipo out the 32bit version, no flags needed just boots in 32bit mode.
