I have moved to AsereBLN's patched chameleon rc4 which can be found here:
http://www.efixusers.com/showthread.php?t=644
used 1.9 and the binary with the theme in it. All I had to to was copy that the new boot to /boot.
Then removed platforuuid.kext and the restart kext. rebuilt cache. Removed all memory settings from smbios.plist. Restarted. Everthing came back OK, except the platform uuid changed. That because the "Platform UUID under OS X is the System-ID hashed with SHA-1. If you boot in verbose mode, Chameleon prints out which UUID is being used (UUID from SMBIOS Table 1, SMUUID from smbios.plist, or the default builtin, which is static)." (Quote from the above thread.) I don't mind b/c this is a brand new box, but it might eff up itunes and time machine a little bit.
This lets me:
- remove a couple of kexts (platformuuid and restart)
- remove memory information from smbios.plist
- have the cpu reported properly. my i7 920 was reported as unknown before, and now it is a quad core intel zeon, which for some silly reason was bothering me.
so far so good.
