PC EFI V10 now released with Snow Leopard support
 

http://infinitemac.com/images/news/chameleon3.pngNetkas has just released a new version of PC_EFI with full support for Snow Leopard. As it's now based on Chameleon 2.0 code, it also shares features such as GUI booting and smbios patching.

Patches added:

• Emulating 64-bit efi pages
• removed setting IODT://options by bootloader,
• changed smth in hibernate for better ati compatibility

Notes:

• By default it boots 64-bit snow leo kernel on 64-bit cpus, flag -x32 will force loading 32-bit kernel
• Known issues: boot stalls if DSDT.aml isn’t present

nice. that's all i've been waiting for to give SL a try :D

I've tried it on my AMD machine, and Leo wont boot.

-Leo 10.5.7
-Voodoo Kernel 9.6.0
-Chameleon 2 RC1

Restored boot file, now it works fine again.

AWESOME!

Can't wait to try it out :cool:

I think i'm gonna stick with BootThink...
Don't like the fact i needs a DSDT to boot...

Anyone have idea why this does not work for me?

dsdt.aml is in system partition root (created using DSDT Patcher/UInstaller).

Try This ...
 

Make sure you install Chameleon 2 rc1 r431 FIRST ( http://chameleon.osx86.hu/file_downl...0-r431.pkg.zip )

BEFORE you replace "boot" with the one from netkas ... ( also the dsdt.aml should be present ... )


It should work for Leo ... ( I still can't get Snow to boot on AMD so the end effect is worthless ... )

funny it doesn't boot the current snow leo tho :)

That's exactly what i have done.

-Installed Leo 10.5.6 retail
-Installed Voodoo kernel
-Installed Chameleon 2 RC1
-Upgraded to 10.5.7

dsdt.aml created and copied to system partition root.

When I replace "boot" system will never boot. There is Chameleon boot menu, I select Leo partition, then it comes to Apple logo and just freezes. Verbose mode gives no useful info here.

the sources available.
Anyone knows how to make?

Are ya sure about that? I got Snow Leo 10A394 booted perfectolicious with this booter.

interesting, didn't work for me.

Can you help to post a tutorial. I have a hard time even with the package. It does not want to install- reported "failed" every time. The only time I can do it is a fresh install into a new partition. But as far as SL, it's still no go.

Well, I already have a tutorial covering most parts...

Try booting with -x32 AND with a patched DSDT.

It's what I used ;)

My bad. But the only way for me to boot my SL 10A380 or 10A394 is with flag -x32. The funny thing is with PCEFIv9 and kernel 10A394, it sleeps well. The current v10 does not put the machine to sleep properly. That's all I can tell for right now. I'll post more once an issue comes up.

I find it easier to to lipo out the 32bit version, no flags needed just boots in 32bit mode.
