There seems to be a 450 post limit on "Printed version" of threads in the invision boards.
So its hard to search the posts.

I tried both iBoot (1.5a) and XPC (82.33) on MSI p6n2 mb, but only gets "BStart rt" then blank screen.

---
here is my result.. if anyone understands it

MD5 (DuetToHdd) = bcddeed0b013f82635767808cc35e0fc
-----

xpc modded hdd (or no parameter in DuettoHDD) - gets Bstart rt! then black screen (LCD inverter lamp still at full, press all keys, no response)

MD5 (Efildr20) = c00d5077ed32bec945de53fe6f5f0c7d

xpc modded USB - gets Berr rt! - stuck there
MD5 (Efildr20) = abeb48da7a1e6cf16b1d98f73b45faf9


xpc original
MD5 (Efildr20) = f360a2278ddef04e785218ae3b3d114e


-------

iboot 1.5a mooded AND original!!
MD5 (Efildr20) = 8164f6e3b6b4cf972546edd50a2d9c5c


iboot patch with HDD (no parameter) - Bstart, then black screen with LCD inverter still at full
MD5 (Efildr20) = 2123f531c42a636b19b476c3c55e1e4c

(arrgh, textedit autocorrects iboot into boot) iboot patch with usb - Berr rt!
MD5 (Efildr20) = 1acc97b2c5d60a9f16965fc1afd01fe7

It seems that Duet bootloader only with with MBR, while SL and Lion needs GUID to install. It seems to be going backwards with MBR..

anyway might need another MB.

Is there a wiki of working MBs for Lion? it seems all info is scattered all over the place..

[quote name='tdtran1025' post='1667925' date='Apr 9 2011, 12:45 AM']Not done properly. Try XPC .0.82.33, It has OS X formatter, making it the job a lot less cumbersome.
loader: http://www.mediafire.com/?7zz5auzknab66nz
USB stick setup: attached file[/quote]

I did try 0.82.33 before, I got the link from the irc room at moofspeak uefi-channel, same goes for iboot..

I could not find a "OS X formatter" in the XPC package, the one linked by you is "Made by caine for applelife.ru users. http://caine.in"

The md5 stuff came from the DuetToHDD app

I tried the one "Made by caine for applelife.ru users. http://caine.in" (also attached by your post), and it only says "MBR start" then same blank screen.

I disabled serial port.. but still same..

I tried Netkas RC3 patched, but got double panic with "can't preform kext scan" (on the Base Install Image)

using C2D E6400

I wish there was some debug version with more output ?

thanks

EDIT: I am looking at this file,

http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?...ost&p=13091

It boots in text to say "ABCE

"welcome to efi world"

we'll see what I can do with that
-----
ok, I tried 2 other XPC (unknown version) at (they are both the same I believe)


http://applive.org/Hacklion.zip
http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?...ost&p=13096
(the Archive.zip)

and it boots fine, with GUI. The "Wait" was more "normal"

But I get

Loading System\Library\Extension\Extensions.mkext not found
Loading efi\xpc\dev-prop.dat Not found

I went to replace the bootx64.efi file, and got this

(hand typed without double checking, so might have typo)

XPC 0.82.33 loaded from Acpi(PNP0A08,0x0)/Pci(0xB,0x1)/USB(0x3,0x0)/HD(1,MBR,0x54455544,0x3F,0xF0FFB4)
XPC © and build by iPhoneTom
No VBE interface found, XPC will quit now.
Press [Return] or [ESC] to exit.

tried to search google for above message, but come up empty..
It seems like newer versions removed support of some things...

this forum is very overloaded.. get database error/can't connect

I tried to replace with another bootx64.efi file,

it says
(hand typed without double checking, so might have typo)

Welcome to XPC v.0.651, © by iPhoneTom 2009,2010
XPC-Efi-Boot is an EFI GUI Bootloader application.
Latest version download and information under

www.efiboot.de

Starting GUI…
(hangs there)

I tried to go to www.efiboot.de site, but the site is 'blank'

For the one that worked (I mention in the beginning of THIS post), it does not show version number..

edit: I tried the working Efildr20 from the 2 links in this post, but mixed it with iboot 1.5a,

to do that, you need to copy out the iboot.efi from /efi/boot/iboot/iboot.efi into (and RENAME it) /efi/boot/bootX64.efi, then put the rest of the iboot files, now iboot boots ok.

can't locate smbios protocol, not found

then

there were errors converting smbios system table : not found

how to fix this problem? where to put the smbios.plist ??
----
also, your usb stick should be flashing if the computer is not hung..

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.
