FYI.. use chameleon 755 boot loader

sweet, excellent info...that should make upgrading possible i assume

Hi guys,

Me again, I am once again trying to install SL on my machine, have followed the guide by the letter (used a mac to install through os) and extracted and fixed the dsdt but every time I go to boot it just restarts, I have used Wait=Yes to try debug it, the last line it gets to is loading darwin x86_x64 and then when I press enter it restarts instantly, no KP, warning or anything...

Should I revert my bios setting back to default as I am running it at 4.2ghz at the mo (980x) but have. Made sure everything is AHCI (should I be using intel or jmicron sata ports?)

Anyone that has ever had this problem let me know, would help a great deal.

Also, I the only thing I have changed from the last time I did this (when it kind of used to work) was the bios, I have also then redone the dsdt to match this, though it shouldn't make a difference as long as the dsdt is patched.

I'm probably doing something very elementary wrong?

What bios and boot-loader are you running? Sure you followed the steps exactly? Shouldn't have a problem....


Anyone else tried the 10.6.8?

Mutant_Tractor 06-30-2011 09:23 PM

Latest BIOS with Chameleon RC5Pre12... seems to me the latest BIOS may have broken it :/

Followed the instructions to the letter.

yea i haven't touched my bios still running stock out of the box

10.6.8 smooth update, no issues here...guess we're ready for lion...will install the latest beta here soon and report compatibility

doesn't get much easier than that...you'll need to delete that appleTyMCE driver *for system to boot* and use your old IOnetworking file from snow as well as a the new voodoohda or etc. if need be. I have an updated extra's folder if anyone needs it for lion..you'll need the new fakesmc

Guys I have had a working system for the longest time.

SL 10.6.6
EVGA X58 Classified
GTX 285 2GB SC
6GB Corsair

My GTX 285 died. I have an XFX Radeon 5850...

Naturally I cannot boot my system. What would be the easiest way to boot it with this card?
