  1. But I think instead of the Chameleon bootloader, I think it is actually chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded).

    chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) = Chameleon. chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) is just a crappy branch that made tonycrap out of Chameleon. Have a look here: http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/source/tree/80/trunk

     

    MyHack uses the trunk branch, merged with some own edits and other branches. chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) is just Chameleon with some more device ids, so tonycrap / MacMan could call it chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded), and let users think they made it...

     

    They suck.

  2. I added the E6520 package to the EDP, but only for the HD3000 version.

     

    It would be nice to add the Intel / nVidia (optimus) version also to our EDP! So if someone could add me on Skype, we could have a look at it. My username is in my profile :).

  3. But Kext Wizard also rebuilds the kernel cache and repairs permissions, and that doesn't take long for it to do. So I guess moving the kexts from S/L/E is what's taking a while? I know that when myHack moves the kexts, it really just adds them as plugins to the myHack.kext, but that shouldn't take 30-45 minutes... Should it?

     

    When you install OS X with myHack, NEVER use Kext Wizard or Disk Utility to rebuild cache. To use the OS X Kernel Cache, that makes the system boot faster, you need to have all kexts in S/L/E. But Hackintoshers don't like that, it is way nicer to have everything inside Extra.

     

    Conti, the creator of myHack, designed some things to use Kernel Cache with the kexts inside your Extra folder. It will create a myHack.kext with all kexts inside it, so it will load inside /Extra. I don't know exactly what myfix does, but I can say it's better then Kext Wizard.

  4. Since Lion there is something called Kernel Cache instead of mkext. When you install a new kext, you need to regenerate that KernelCache

     

    When booting OS X, you shouldn't have a blue status bar. When you have that, you are probably booting in Safe Mode (-x). When you boot with -f or -x, you will skip the caches and booting will take more time!

     

    Are you also using:

    <key>UseKernelCache</key>
    <string>Yes</string>

    inside your org.chameleon.Boot.plist! You will need it for Kernel Cache.

     

    You can add me on Skype, I will have a look at your files and see if we can add it to EDP :). You can find my account name on my profile page.
