PC EFI V10 now released with Snow Leopard support

Netkas has just released a new version of PC_EFI with full support for Snow Leopard. As it's now based on Chameleon 2.0 code, it also shares features such as GUI booting and smbios patching.

Patches added:
  • Emulating 64-bit efi pages
  • removed setting IODT://options by bootloader,
  • changed smth in hibernate for better ati compatibility
Notes:
  • By default it boots 64-bit snow leo kernel on 64-bit cpus, flag -x32 will force loading 32-bit kernel
  • Known issues: boot stalls if DSDT.aml isn’t present

I've tried it on my AMD machine, and Leo wont boot.

-Leo 10.5.7
-Voodoo Kernel 9.6.0
-Chameleon 2 RC1

Restored boot file, now it works fine again.

Anyone have idea why this does not work for me?

dsdt.aml is in system partition root (created using DSDT Patcher/UInstaller).

Make sure you install Chameleon 2 rc1 r431 FIRST ( http://chameleon.osx86.hu/file_downl...0-r431.pkg.zip )

BEFORE you replace "boot" with the one from netkas ... ( also the dsdt.aml should be present ... )


It should work for Leo ... ( I still can't get Snow to boot on AMD so the end effect is worthless ... )

That's exactly what i have done.

-Installed Leo 10.5.6 retail
-Installed Voodoo kernel
-Installed Chameleon 2 RC1
-Upgraded to 10.5.7

dsdt.aml created and copied to system partition root.

When I replace "boot" system will never boot. There is Chameleon boot menu, I select Leo partition, then it comes to Apple logo and just freezes. Verbose mode gives no useful info here.
