It would be really great if you could add the fix for amd k10 fsb detection which is implemented in Chameleon since 1197.

Scratch that i now get to the new booters screen but before that it says unable to load symbols_machpersonalities then i see all my partitions..

now when booting with your atom kernels i get a reboot

as im trying to boot 10.7.2 im trying "mach_kernel_dp2_apic -v" without quotes.

i removed hpet hibernate and hello world mods

toshiba nb100 2GB of ram and an intel Atom n270 chip on an external screen from usb so that if need be i can mod the files.

So you are using also all 2 acpi modules?
If so you have to choose one them.

Which modules are you using because it's possible that you have to remove more of them?!

bobert · #64 01-07-2012, 05:34 PM

perhaps theres a how to guide on it somwhere that ive not seen ?

or perhaps there could be an installer and i check off what i need in there using a customize button ?

what mods would i need for my toshiba nb 100 its an intel atom chip with gma 9 - 950 gpu and broadcom wifi with 2GBs ram to make it boot the install dvd

You need at least three files to get a boot image/flash stick or similar booting:
boot0, which is stage zero (written in the mbr),
boot1h. which is stage one and written in the first sector of the bootable and active partition,
boot, which is stage three, resembled by an true file on the active partition.
Now you task is to get these three files to their according destinations; stage zero by
sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskn (n resembling the disk number of the device you want to use - you can get it with 'diskutil list')
stage one by
sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisknsm (m resembling the active partition number, count starts with 0),
stage two by copying the boot file to the destination
sudo cp boot /Volumes/SubjectNameHere (name of the stick/partition/image).

Hope this helps someone and I'm not repeating a thread I haven't found.

thank you very much ! trying this but getting no were

@bobert
Try just do use the important modules and don´t use 2 of one kind. (Just one ACPI module and one smbios module)

And also remove the KernelPatcher if you don´t need it.

For example i use just the modules what i need.
In my case it´s enough to use ACPIPatcher, SMBiosPatcher, Symbols, GUI and HPET.

thx wastez, couldn't have said it better

@bobert , please only use the modules you need, and use only one acpi module (acpipatcher.dylib or acpicodec.dylib), and one smbios module (smbiosgetter.dylib or smbiospatcher.dylib),
symbols.dylib is needed if want to use another module, if you plan to use the booter without modules (because you have a 100% compatible or a patched motherboard, or you use a patched OS, or ...) you can uninstall symbols.dylib.

last thing, the project is still unstable when built with xcode 4, you can use xcode 3 from lion if you have a snow leopard partition with xcode3 installed on it, just launch the xcode3 app, select the project , clean and build

that's all , good luck

Many thanks for the great work, Andy, cparm .. I can report that Cparm bootloader works very stable and reliable with LION on AMD BULLDOZER. The error rate is Cpram bootloader considerably reduced to 64-bit applications run very well and consistently. This was not previously possible with chameleon. Here's my test LION AMD GA-990FXA-UD3 with Phenom II X6 1100 T

If cpram starts then comes an error message. "unable to bind Symbol_Safe_malloc" and then computer restarts. Can you help me please?

Are you sure that your osx lion really can run the 64-bits apps on your Phenom II X6 1100T ?

AFAIK, your Phenom II X6 1100T is not part of the AMD Bulldozer family, so it doesn't support SSSE3 instructions

and I only got this pic from your link which shows that you're still running the osx in 32-bits

So, could you please perform a more test by running the 64-bits version of Geekbench
and please show any screenshots of it (only if it's true, of course)

Thanks mate
