  1. This problem was reported to me almost a week ago, and I have made a bug fix I have just been very very busy and unable to release it. The problem was caused by apple deciding to change some of their drive utilities conventions in DP4 so it was parsing the inode data instead of the path to the mount point. I will attempt to release the bugfix later today.

    Ya, plug a USB keyboard in.
  3. It was a DP3 bug, I ran into this myself. The solution was to re-install and just select 'This computer does not connect to the internet" to get through the rest of the initial setup. And in regards to systems without admin/root passwords - I replied to that here : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=385&p=1232#p1232
  4. Sorry I didn't reply sooner I have been very busy, but yes I was going to suggest 2 things. 1) Setup an Admin password. 2) NEVER use a system without an Admin password, this is very dangerous, having your system hacked is much more of an inconvenance (a potentially serious one) than having to remember a password for administrative tasks.
  5. I advise against the use of 'tools' to manipulate your chameleon configuration, it's better to understand what exactly is going into your boot.plist in /Extra and not very difficult to manipulate. There is absolutely no reason to enable or force 64bit on an intel system, as long as you do not have arch=i386 in your boot plist you will be running a 64bit kernel. Judging from what you have mentioned I would suggest that you probably don't need anything in there except EthernetBuiltIn=Yes and GraphicsEnabler=Yes - though you may want to play with PciRoot=0/1 to see if it helps anything graphics related. Have you tried connecting the displays directly to the 9800GT? I have noticed myself with my 9800GTX+ that one port is initialized at boot time, and the other displays after login - I do not use mirroring. Disable mirroring and plug them directly in - check graphics init order in bios, check your PciRoot=0/1 these are the first things I woud suggest trying. If tampering with none of the aforementioned helps your situation then yes it is most likely an issue with the graphics enabler injection on your particular 9800GT - in which case you may need to define the outputs and injection manually in dsdt. I hope this information is helpful, good luck.
  6. Yes, you create the USB installation disk from any system running OS X (myHack is an OS X Application). Then you use the USB installation disk to boot and install OS X on whatever computer you would like to install it on. If you want to remove OS X from the laptop, you simply delete the partition, and wipe the MBR to remove Chameleon.
