Thanks pcj, works extremely well on my P4 HT with 10.6.5 and now on 10.6.6.
Boot flags: arch=x86_64 cpus=1

@Gary_G:
cpus=1 ( <--- I don't think you need this )
arch=x86_64 ( <--- by default with boot file, it's on already I mean 64 bit )

I case you cannot boot to the system try -f to force load new kexts

Then use AppleJack or pfix to chean Cache + fix permission and then you can boot without -f...

Thx for your great work....

if you cpu support EMS64T, it can runing 64bit kernel.
but need add nullpowermagement.kext
this is first release, only test on some P4 CPU.
maybe you can use this.

well , nice release , I tried this bootloader on amd opteron with a patched kernel of course , although this booloader has a patch kernel function , just from curiosity , what is going to happen and it is working better than the chameleon releases.

I wonder what will happen , if I try to run the vanilla kernel!

I may try to pick a vanilla kernel from the retail dvd , since I deleted it and see what happens!

Hi pcj, are you planning to mod your boot to take into account the new 10.8 kernel?

I have old pentium 4 prescott (Dell 8300 Dimension)...

your boot 1 works perfectly with 10.6.7 release using vanilla 10.7 kernel...

but with 10.6.8, it reboots everytime...

I also use modded Chameleon RC5 by Nawcom...

now still use your boot, but replaced with 10.7 kernel...

thanks for your good work so far...

well I guess the project is dead...

a pity, it seemed promising, better than patching the kernel...

Yes would be great if he comes back to what he was doing or atleast shares what he done but i doubt that too !
