I started to use the Netkas 10.3 EFI & also the newest fakesmc kext everything working as before but my system profile didn't show like yours ... my PCI list is empty ... and I have to switch back to use EFI string for my nVidia (8400gs) in order to get other resolutions to show up otherwise only 1024x768. I've cleaned up my boot.plist like yours too. My board is r2.0 so I'm using RTL8139 based PCI ethernet so kinda expected it may not show up on the PCI list but the video card should, no? Tkx!

 i have a rev1x board and 9600GT but as soon as i use RC3 + PC EFI 10.3 and remove the EFI strings i also got no QE/CI, so i remember that on the 1st page screenshot i use RC2 binaries and 10.3. Try it and hope it will work on you, just be sure you add this on your boot.plist <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>y</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string> what baffles me is on RC3 alone i cant make the automatic injection work while on RC2+10.3 it's working flawlessly.

 add these below on your boot.plist, works on RC2/3 or PC EFI 10.3. Code:
<key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>GraphicsEnabler=Yes</string> Code:
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string>

Chameleon install
How do I know Chameleon is installed correctly on the USB? Is there some file or directory I can check for?
I tried the manual install of RC3, but I couldn't boot from it. In boot selection I tried everything (USB-HDD, USB-ZIP, USB-FLOPPY). I'm guessing I might not be installing the Chameleon boot loader correctly. So just want to make sure I am.

dont know why it suddenly shows but that's just what i did, change to EFI 10.3 + RC3 and add this on my boot.plist as exactly on the p1 screenshot. <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>y</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string> it's purely cosmetic though so either EFI strings or the built in injector will do as long as it works

@dooododoo
i believe that message you quoted is really old and AFAIR could be a month back, the good thing though is you read the whole thread  to answer your question, booting 64bit or 32bit kernel (-x32 in PC EFI arch=i386 in Chameleon) really depends on you. Up to this day some apps and 3rd party applications still wont run on 64bit so it's up to the user what will they choose to use for compatability. and YES as far as the guide is concern it's best to boot it first on 32bit since i intentionally didnot include the mkext creation while in leopard because of a few non so friendly (for others) Terminal commands. I want the guide to be as easy as copy paste and drag and drop. The USB installer and even Snow Leopard partition boots fine in 64bit though on first boot but sometimes it get random kernel panic before while i was experimenting on the install. i would also add that this guide is just 1 way in installing snow, there are other methods and ways in installing it so the step by step here is not important but the concept of the install

I'm a bit confuse ... I thought swappin' the "boot" file is basically switchin' the binary ... If I recall correctly I'm using RC2 as the base install since it's the only one that has ability to use EFI partition while the RC3 hacked installer can not (I think similar w/ RC1) ... I'm using 8400GS on rev2 w/ latest PC-EFI 10.3 now ... how do I find out if I have QE/CI? Tkx! Last edited by BlaSTiWi; 09-23-2009 at 03:14 PM.

ok ill explain my situation, before RC3 and PC EFI 10.3 were out im using RC1+10.1 on a hidden EFI partition, to make my 9600GT VGA to work w/ QE/CI i need to create an EFI strings and paste it on my boot.plist. Now that RC3 is out i tried it's automatic device properties injection using this below command but after reboot i dont have QE/CI, resolution is ok though but my 9600Gt fan is always on.. the same goes for RC3 + 10.3 <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>y</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>y</string> but for RC2 + PC EFI 10.3 it's different, my boot plist is clean w/o EFI strings, i have QE/CI and my 9600GT is displaying on system profiler which before it's empty on RC1+10..1, RC3, or RC3 + 10.3. I dont know if this is specific on my machine which i doubt but i tried it different times and i can conclude it on my machine.  my boot.plist before and after screenshot is here. oh BTW RC1-RC3 works on a hidden EFI partition

I think I'm using RC2 w/ your original 10.1 then upgrade to 10.3 ... I'll try your link to chk for QE/CI support AFAIK some people said if Chess, Front Row & DVD works then more than likely QE/CI in use and I got them to work. Yeah you're right hidden EFI partition works on all Chameleon ... I forgot just varied during install the RC1 only has EFI as the option and RC2 has EFI & FAT but the RC3 installer I got (hacked by Dr. Hurt) have no custom button so I don't think it' has EFI and/or FAT support Similar to your situation w/o the EFI string (I'm using UInstaller to generate my 8400gs) in the boot.plist I'm stuck on 1024x768 mode while w/ the EFI string I have a lot of choices. Another question ... I'm using the PleaseSleep you suggested ... and it works great but when the machine sleep a bit longer when I wake it up I lost my keyboard & mouse ... do you run to similar situation? But if its not to long all good ... have not try to hookup USB drive or anything to see if I lost it too like USB problem. Do you keep the SleepEnabler.kext while using the PleaseSleep application or replace? Tkx!
