iBoot 1.5a or XPC or Clover or Netkas RC3 support for Lion??

kocoman · #1 04-13-2011, 03:26 AM

Has anyone been able to find a place for support for these 4 bootloaders, that are suppose to boot Lion in the future?

I had tried IRC, but it seems there are "people" there, but no one replies..

i use iBoot 1.5a to handle Lion DP2 with no problem ...

What about for MSI mainboard users?

The systems I have "heard" from the forums working

Asus
Gigabyte
Sony Notebook

I have the correct CPU, but not the right board..

----
I have tried both XPC latest and iBoot

I don't know where to get help for bootloaders like xpc and iboot, I tried the irc, but there is no body reply to my message there.

is there any way to load smbios.plist into the iboot 1.5a? I am getting this error:

can't locate smbios protocol, not found

then

there were errors converting smbios system table : not found

----

there are at least 3 version of Iboot

1) the one from Osninja
2) the tonymac86 one
3) xiezhy in beijing one

Its hard to search in google because they don't match up.

at last i try to use xpc 0.82.33 from MF and it's boot to my system …. (i've tried some XPC version before without any luck

)

install it in my Kingstone 4GB DataTraveler (DTIG3/4GBFR) put kexts in extra_kext folder (i used in E/E in my SL Server ….just try too put them there…

…and yes you're right..there's no information to config); then edit the system.plist inside XPC folder with something like this

Code:

<key>SmbiosTables</key>
    <dict>
      <key>Table</key>
      <dict>
        <key>Type</key>
        <integer>0</integer>
        <key>BiosVersion</key>
        <string>MP31.B05.0801021250</string>
        <key>BiosVendor</key>
        <string>Apple Inc.</string>
      </dict>
      <key>Table</key>
      <dict>
        <key>Type</key>
        <integer>1</integer>
        <key>Manufacturer</key>
        <string>Apple Inc.</string>
        <key>ProductName</key>
        <string>MacPro3,1</string>
        <key>Family</key>
        <string>Mac</string>
        <key>SerialNumber</key>
        <string>G8829559XYL</string>
        <key>SKUNumber</key>
        <string>5</string>
        <key>Version</key>
        <string>1.5</string>
      </dict>
      <key>Table</key>
      <dict>
        <key>Type</key>
        <integer>2</integer>
        <key>Manufacturer</key>
        <string>Apple Inc.</string>
        <key>ProductName</key>
        <string>Mac-F4208AC8</string>
        <key>AssetTag</key>
        <string>MacPro</string>
        <key>SerialNumber</key>
        <string>CK0020DZE1D</string>
        <key>LocationInChassis</key>
        <string>None</string>
        <key>Version</key>
        <string>0.0</string>
      </dict>

you can edit it what you want ….
and here's is the result in my system

RC5 for lion!

kocoman · #6 05-03-2011, 03:33 PM

I did try that, but after "DP2" then "Update 2" it does not boot into GUI

ricola · #7 05-04-2011, 11:07 AM

my lion 11A444d works fine with RC5

Lordadmiral Drake · #8 07-06-2011, 07:36 AM

DP1 and GM work fine with iBoot 1.5a for me

fantomas1 · #9 07-07-2011, 11:13 AM

hi

for me Snow 10.6.8 et Lion_GM boot with PC EFI 10.6

I just added EvOReboot because I could not reboot automatically
