ok guys... ive updated the main post with v1.1 and revised the guide...
do re-read and retry if you had trouble using version 1... might pay to wipe everything you've done with v1.0 before trying v1.1... and of course report back with your experiences... good luck!!! |

@teamka42
whats ur hardware config? mobo, graphic card, etc? try this when booting from your usb drive: interrupt chameleon by pressing any key when it shows up. then type the following: "GraphicsEnabler=No" without the quotes then select ur pendrive by using the left/right arrows and hit enter... see if you can boot into the installer with just basic graphics support... if the above is successful, that means chameleons auto graphics card detection didnt work for your card... and u would have to update the boot plist file with an EFI string for ur graphics card or use an injector to get full graphics... if the above didnt help, could we have a look at the messages that get displayed when it boots? u will have to take a photo of it and post here... good luck!!! |

Thanks for the update. I'm going to give it a shot in a bit. Just to double check, I should edit the com.apple.boot.plist in Extra and add this line in order to boot in 32-bit::
<key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-x32</string> Are there are any other places this flag should exist or is this all? |

if you look in "/extra/com.apple.boot.plist" it should have something like: arch=x86 which should have given u a 32bit boot... but if that didnt work, try using this: arch=i386 alternatively, u can just temporarily use those flags at chameleon boot time: -x32 or arch=x86 or arch=i386 |

looks like ur mobo doesnt have an HPET device...
can u first go through ur bios setup and see if you can find anything related to HPET (high precision event timer) and enable that... if hpet cant be found on ur bios, try the following: at chameleon boot type this: ForceHPET=Yes and boot... if that doesnt solve it, try this: download this kext and put it on ur usb drive at "/Extra/Extensions" and try rebooting into the installer... post back what happens then........... PS: after enabling HPET in ur bios, u might have to re-run the script and do it over again so that the dsdtpatcher can properly produce a dsdt.aml with hpet support... not sure...

unfortunately no!!! im using Fassl's dsdt patcher which doesnt fix the cmos reset problem...
atm im trying to go through fassl's source code trying to learn C language and add the cmos reset fix myself... cos fassl seems to have retired from updating it... so ppl if u do have the cmos reset problem, u will have to edit ur dsdt by hand... there are guides for that all over the place... i highly recommend using DSDTSE from here for manual dsdt work: http://www.osx86.es/?p=610 |
