Hi.

I change PC, now I have ASROCK x79 Extreme 4 , i7 3930k , 16Gbram, Nvidia GTX 560 (normal , not Ti)

Inside I have 3 Sata HDD...

 

1) win7 64bit

2) files

3) MAC osx

 

The same was in the old PC. start begine boot windows and ask with OS i like to use (win7 or macosx) , and was working good, bur now in the NEW PC, I have many trouble to install a working MAC OSX...

I try many differents way (from Iaktos l2 to many anothers dvd iso installations..) but wit no good results.

1) this mothers board, have not to jet a good support, so in many installation you must disable form bios , HT, CORES (set only 1) , USB 3.0. or installation freeze always.

I have found only one good way , working... OS X 10.8.2 Install USB , a raw file to write in a 8GB usb key.

On boot , I must edit the line in -v npci=0x2000 cpus=1

(or I have stop on pci recognise, or for the i7 cores trouble)

when is finish the installation I update with few Kext , and I have a good working osx....

 

BUT....

 

I can boot only from the usb key ... infact I can't install a working boot, I download chameleon...but later I install nothing change.. I read the log file, and he say is ok installed in the 3' HDD ( macosx)...

but I not found any dir of chameleon....(i386)...so , he are not really installed I think..

I'm afraid to compromise my working OSX now , only for the boot...

 

any idea how I can do ?

 

PS (no internet access with this pc)

Can you use the usb key to boot your OS X installation? (select usb key at bios boot menut -> hit tab at the chameleon boot prompt -> select your internal hdd that you installed OS X on and hit enter).

 

From there open myHack app, select 'Install Chameleon' option and target your / partition.

 

This should fix the problem, if it does not you could try using myHack from the utilities menu on the OS X Installer, run "install chameleon' option, target the volume that contains your OS X installation.

 

If neither of the above fix your bootloader on the internal partition let me know I could send you a beta that contains an updated Chameleon bootloader as well as some new installation routines that may help to resolve the issue if it persists.
