For those having problems with 64bit kexts versus 32bit kexts loading while booting 10.6.x, please use the boot flags provided.

32bit arch=i386

64bit arch=x86_64

This should help. If you have problems booting in 64bit mode, then boot in 32bit mode and vice versa.

BTW iBOOT has taken on an entirely new look with many new features!

Try it out!!

P.S. If you have any questions that are involved or in depth, I advise to join my irc channel on Moofspeak.net IRC #iboot. Thanks

iBOOT now supports laptops and trackpads.

I also fixed USB Ownership problems in new release.

Pardon me but I am quite confused.
Is having a UEFI booting capable motherboard a requisite for the boot-loader in under discussion?
If this works with UEFI can Chameleon booter be completely done away with and iBoot be used to boot a OS-X install on the hard-drive?
Thanks

where can i found acpipatcher.efi ??

what size usb stick can i used IBOOT on.

can i use 2 partition on a 4gig usb stick as in 100mb for 1st partition ans the rest for 2nd partition?

did a lot of test just to get the IBOOT files working

i format 2 usb stick, a 2gig and a 4gig as FAT16, not FAT32

then run the windows IBOOT setup, click format->select the usb disk (H:), when it finnish format do not click "OK", just pull the usb out and wait 5 sec then put it back in, then click "OK"
select the other button, and wait till it's done. Properly remove the usb disk. then put it back in.

copy your dsdt.aml file to the /efi/dsdt/ directory
and copy fakesmc.kext to /efi/kext/ directory

properly remove the usb stick. now when you boot from the usb, if you get a blank scrren, just press W and wait a few sec that press D, if it is still blank press D again.

but where can i found acpipatcher.efi anyone know where? Because that can fix the ----ing memory problem in lion so far :)

my notes above only works on a ibm thinkcentre m52
i have a few other system which iboot will not boot on, I get the dreaded blinking white cursor.

if it boots on one computer, that means the IBOOT usb stick was created properly. so why is it not working on other machine?

OS_Ninja, can you modify or create a copy of iboot to work on 800x600 screen with GUI as default?

Thank you.


BTW: can you tell me the minimum requirement for iboot to work on a pc?

if i have no HDD and no CDROM what elese will affect the boot process:
this info is just for iboot to work.

how about a debug version that shows us what is going on, where it hangs, etc...

This is a first for me, it's frustrating, to think that a x86 boot manager, is not working on so mush x86 machine.

Can one one make a cdrom version, or make a img image of a working bootable with GUI usb stick and upload it.
