Netkas releases PC EFI V10.3

New release 10.3 is now based on Chameleon2 RC3

it includes all features of 10/10.1 (like 64-bit efi pages and etc), also introduces new features, like support for injecting ati

radeon 48×0 cards in bootloader, like chameleon2 rc3 does for nvidia, more ati support will come later.

Video and ethernet devices now listed in PCI Cards section of system profiler.(if graphicsenabler/ethernetbuiltin used)

Fixed few bugs in rc3 code.

Now about inbooter injector.

Chameleon2 RC3 supported only pciroot = 0, many new motherboards have pciroot=1.

Now pciroot=1 used by default, if you want pciroot to be 0 – use -pci0 boot option.

To find you pciroot value, use this osx terminal command:

ioreg -l | grep -15 “AppleACPIPCI\ ” | grep UID

To activate video/ethernet injector just use same options in boot.plist that used in Chameleon RC2+ and remove device

properties key, options is :

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>

ATI injecctor designed for snow leopard, dont use it in leopard(binimage isn’t injected) with 4830/4850(you will get screen flickerings)

Installation – if you dont have chameleon2 installed yet – get rc1/rc2 install pkg and use leopard to install bootloader, then
replace boot file in root of boot partition with this one –

booter10.1
source patch diff

I have used this for the past 2 days s far, and its very stable, no panics, and is
  • Faster then 10.0-10.2
  • Built upon Chameleon RC3 but with EFI64 Pages!
  • Full Snow Leopard support


OS: Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540) | Vanilla Kernel | 64 bit Kernel | EFI64

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz
GPU: 2x SLI Dual GTX 260 (OpenCL working)(QE+CI)

It works fine for me on Snow Leopard, but not on Leopard. Gives kernel panic with AnV 9.8.0 on my AMD system.

Works good for me, using the graphics enabler and the Ethernet built in. I also had to drop the -pci0 in my boot plist.

Whats wrong with it? If you installed 10.3 everything should be fine.

Next weekend i am going to install 2xSno Leo...

...and I would like to enable my graphics via PC EFI 10.5.
Have a ZOTAC GTX 260 AMP! And a 9600 GT low profile (for my media PC).

So far so good. I am familiar with installing snow and PC EFI. But how do i do the settings for graphics enabler? I saw in the Chameleon RC2 Installer that there is an Option "Graphics Enabler". Do I have to choose this Option?
Or is it just OKay to take netkas boot 10.5 EFI File?

How can I switch from pciroot? Do I have to set the values in com.aplle.boot.plist?

Can someone share an example an give me some hints to learn? Would be nice an helpful. Thx a lot!
