Pardon me but I am quite confused.
Is having a UEFI booting capable motherboard a requisite for the boot-loader in under discussion?
If this works with UEFI can Chameleon booter be completely done away with and iBoot be used to boot a OS-X install on the hard-drive?
Thanks

where can i found acpipatcher.efi ??

what size usb stick can i used IBOOT on.

can i use 2 partition on a 4gig usb stick as in 100mb for 1st partition ans the rest for 2nd partition?

did a lot of test just to get the IBOOT files working

i format 2 usb stick, a 2gig and a 4gig as FAT16, not FAT32

then run the windows IBOOT setup, click format->select the usb disk (H, when it finnish format do not click "OK", just pull the usb out and wait 5 sec then put it back in, then click "OK"
select the other button, and wait till it's done. Properly remove the usb disk. then put it back in.

copy your dsdt.aml file to the /efi/dsdt/ directory
and copy fakesmc.kext to /efi/kext/ directory

properly remove the usb stick. now when you boot from the usb, if you get a blank scrren, just press W and wait a few sec that press D, if it is still blank press D again.

but where can i found acpipatcher.efi anyone know where? Because that can fix the ----ing memory problem in lion so far

my notes above only works on a ibm thinkcentre m52
i have a few other system which iboot will not boot on, I get the dreaded blinking white cursor.

if it boots on one computer, that means the IBOOT usb stick was created properly. so why is it not working on other machine?

OS_Ninja, can you modify or create a copy of iboot to work on 800x600 screen with GUI as default?

Thank you.


BTW: can you tell me the minimum requirement for iboot to work on a pc?

if i have no HDD and no CDROM what elese will affect the boot process:
this info is just for iboot to work.

how about a debug version that shows us what is going on, where it hangs, etc...

This is a first for me, it's frustrating, to think that a x86 boot manager, is not working on so mush x86 machine.

Can one one make a cdrom version, or make a img image of a working bootable with GUI usb stick and upload it.

i did a few test to see why my x86 can not display the GUI of iboot.

1) i found the iphone makeusb.bat file and did this:
a) run the makeusb.bat h:, remove the usb and put it in my pc, restart my pc, all i got was the blinking cursor in the top left of the screen.
it seems as if it is not loading anythink out of efi directory or the efildr20 file, Why?

b) i run the iboot windows file as admin, click the Format usb drive button, unplug, plug it back in,
click setup iBoot, then click done, when it's finish. click the usb drive, select eject, then put it in my other computer, got the same think (blinking cursor at the top-left of the screen.)

Am i correct in it dont work on a GPT disc...

I have installed it to the EFI partition on the drive i have Lion on and when it "boot" the drive it say:

GPT Start!
GPT Error!

I have the EFI folder on the EFI Partition and on the first Partition where Lion is installed.

Also on another note iBoot here dont like my DX58SO motherboard it trows out a error on it.
