What exactly does Rebel EFI do? Any way to replicate
Okay, I've had about all the fun I can stand in trying to get my hackintosh up and running; I've tried a handful of solutions, none of which results in a usable, dual-boot configuration. One thing that HAS worked, though, is Psystar's…

Lost Newbie: Can I update iDeneb 10.5.5 with retail SL disc
After literally days and days of trying, I finally have a working dual-boot setup with Win7 and OS X 10.5.5 on separate partitions of the same hard drive. I have a Toshiba Satellite L505, Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T6500 @ 2.10Ghz, Intel…

getting from iDeneb to retail SL
Briefly: I recently managed to get my dual-booting Win7/iDeneb 10.5.5 system up and running. I'm using EasyBCD to manage the bootup. To get things working, I created one FAT and one HFS+ partition using GParted, then installed iDeneb…

What exactly does Rebel EFI do? Any way to replicate
“I hadn't tried Empire EFI, but I downloaded it and gave it a shot yesterday at your suggestion; no dice. I get the nice bootloader screen, but when I insert my SL disc and hit F5, I get a bunch of terminal text on screen, and eventually it …”

“Sorry - this is going to sound snippier than I mean it to, but which question are you answering? My problem is that I have not for the life of me been able to decipher how to install Chameleon or any of the other bootloaders "manually" - he…”

Lost Newbie: Can I update iDeneb 10.5.5 with retail SL disc
“That's what I was afraid of. I dreamed all night of waking up to find a spectacular workaround detailed here in reply to my query, but I guess it's not to be. Oh, well. So, keeping in mind my relative newbie (at least to hackintoshing - I'm…”

“From looking at your setup, I'm afraid about your GPU, I don't know if it's supported. I don't know about the chipset either, so before you do what I said, check how your making all that work. If you can only use VESA, then OS X isn't worth…”

getting from iDeneb to retail SL
“Awesome - thanks for the help. I didn't select or install (as far as I know) any kexts with the iDeneb setup - which I'm sure is why I have no sound, no USB support, wrong video resolution, etc. I figured once I got the base operating syste…”
