Aren't I already using a supported Chameleon? Or is their a specific Chameleon boot loader I need to work properly with 10.7.4?

The kernel flags section of org.chameleon.Boot.plist is exactly the same as what you type into chameleon at startup: try adding your flags there.

Is it normal to run into Kernel Panics with Google Chrome or you guys don't use that Browser so you wouldn't know? Thanks, ii, I'll try that.

I have never used Google Chrome on OS X, so I'm not much help there. I use Firefox on all platforms.

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.

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.
