OS_Ninja - New DUET based EFI Bootloader.
Hi OS_Ninja - I believe that you are on to something very special here and I cannot wait to get it working. I have had best results with the 1.5 file you have on your iRC link, but that results in a KP and a screenshot is attached.
Version 1.5 appears to select its own DSDT, that did not work well and I replaced the DSDT with my own which works very well with Chameleon but really no different that the one that the installation picked up.
Other anomalies are my apple wired keyboard( USB) does not work with the bootloader, but when I attach an old and basic logitech usb keyboard that does work. You will also note from the screenshot that it appears to be loading the 10.7 (Lion) kernel although I am using 10.6.7.
I would also ask for a dummies guide of sorts as the "readmefiles" are confusing as I am using an USB stick and have not had a lot of luck with the OSX installaion, I have been playing with this for two days and have already corrupted one disk, but no prob as I always have backups. But I have used your windows option to format and load the files on the USB stick. This version 1.5 from the IRC link downloads into a 1.4 folder adding to my confusion.
The system here is a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R 12Gig of DDR3 Ram and an intel i7-930 and Graphics is a Radeon 5770 - I would love this to work - however please be wary of others out there who appear to steal stuff. You have the making of something good, thanks for this and for more information on how to get it to work. From the info supplied you advise about booting into 32 bitor 64 bit but where and how do you do that. I am not a total noob but the directions are confusing and I look forward to seeing it working here without the KPs..
Thanks.
Update wednesday 30 March.
I downloaded the IBOOT 1.5A version today from your IRC links and after placing the amended DSDT in efi/acpi/patched it actually works very well...
Thank you. I have tried to link to your irc but it is always offline, what hours do you operate?
The apple USB keyboard will not work to access the IBOOT options but works fine once OSX 10.6.7 is loaded - strange?
But thanks for this I am very impressed.
Brgds/Tony.
Thank you for
