Nice one tea

Just a small correction, you said something about osxlinuz being a modified isolinux, it's a modified boot-132.

Will try to check what other stupid things they have done...

EDIT:

Well, their guarded secret is full of GPL'd and APSL'd code..

And you're right about OpenDevice kext, it's just a modified fakesmc, it's their way of doing things..

Anyone able to decode their message from these words? (maybe remove the words used in the OSK0/1 key):

Code:

Err sorry Kabyl, but as far as I understand the way this CD works, the modified boot-132 is located in the file "cdboot" placed in the initrd and not in osxlinuz.
So teas explanation of the osxlinuz file sounds logical and correct for me.

Correct me please, if I am wrong.

Well you can compare both of them yourself, try opening osxlinuz and cdboot in hex editor, or run strings on them.

Hi all I am new hear, and I really envy all of the hard work from this project. I wish I could get my head around the OSx86 phenomenon and get my machine to work flawlessly like the Rebel EFI claims. Since I have had little success with my limited knowledge/patience, I wouldnt mind putting down the hard earned cash and purchase the Rebel because I cant afford a Mac or one of the clones right now. I would much rather give my money to the people on this forum where this all started so please release your own version of this boot loader and I will gladly support the cause.

Well I took the plug last week and purchase the RebelEFI just to try it out, and this week when I got back from a week trip it auto updated from version 0.8.5 to 0.8.7 and lost my registration information. Now when i try and reenter it, it claims invalid as it has already been registered, but if it try with just username and password it ask for registration (catch 22), fired off an email to support and haven't heard back - don't waste your money! This is nothing that the hacintosh communities haven't already worked out. Hell I am on one of the "supported" boards GA-EP45-UD3P, and they still have the orange HD issue that we had worked out a long time ago!!!

Netkas has varified that RebelEFI uses a good portion of Boot-123 (which is free).. MEH... not something to be surprised with but those who consider spending money for it. Please think it through twice.
