  1. Ah, I see. You're right.

    So...
    - I followed your Chameleon procedure of above up until the 'copying of the 2 hidden files'
    - Installed the latest Enoch (Enoch-rev.2839)
    - Copied the content of your revised Extra folder to the USB stick (replacing the "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" the Enoch installer created)
    - I placed the extensions from you revised Extra folder in /L/E (without the NullCPUPowerManagement)
    - not sure if I had to place the extensions also in /S/L/E so I didn't.
    - created a 'kernels' folder in /S/L and placed the appropriate vanilla kernel
    - repaired the permissions and rebuild cache, after going to the USB key directory (hope that this is the correct way?)
    cd /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1
    sudo chmod -R 755 /L*/E*
    sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E*

    sudo touch -f /L*/E*
    sudo kextcache -Boot -U /

    - The last command didn't work however. I attached the screenshot.
    Since rebuilding of the cache didn't work, I added the KernelBooter_kexts=Yes boot flag in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist
    - When booting the E6410 from the USB key, I got an error…
    (sceenshot attached)

  2. When you copy kexts to /L/E or /S/L/E, you must repair permissions:

    sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E*
    sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E*
    sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E*
    sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E*
    

    then rebuild your cache:

    sudo touch -f /L*/E*
    sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E*
    sudo kextcache -Boot -U /
    

    If you place your add-on kexts to /L/E (which you should) and attempt to boot without cache, then /L/E is ignored. You'll quickly understand that, in such a case, missing FakeSMC is going to lead to trouble so you must cater for this. This is why one should always keep a copy of all add-on kexts to /E/E (including the almighty NullCPUPowerManagement), from where they can be called through the following set of boot flags and parameters for instance: KernelBooter_kexts=Yes -f -v.

     

    Some things are not so clear to me. Sorry, things have to be made idiot-proof for me.

     

    - It's not so clear now if you talking about the copying of the add-on kexts in your above "3. Post-installation fine-tuning" step or the "1. USB installer creation procedure".

     

    So, in your step "1. USB installer creation procedure" should I just copy the add-on kexts only to the S/L/E or also to the L/E folder?

    Your terminal commands of your last post, resemble the ones of step 3 "Post-installation fine-tuning". Or should appropriate destination directories of the USBkey be added to them?

     

     

    - in your Herve_revised_E6410_Extra , the "NullCPUPowerManagement" is in the 'Extra/RemovedExtensions' folder. While above you write that it should be in E/E. Do I have to copy it also to  /L/E & /S/L/E?

     

    Merci!

  3. Yes, I am booting form the USB key.

    I just did a clean install on the USB key.

    When I follow the above procedure, there is 2 points which are not clear.
    1) The 6410 boot pack contains a "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" and the enoch/chameleon installers also install such a file in the Extra folder. I left the simple one form the enoch installer.

    2) When copying the kext files to the S/L/E folder, these files already exist. So I replace/overwrite.


    Booting from the fresh USB, with Enoch-rev.2839 installed, the booting process stops very soon. Adding an -f flag doesn't resolve the issue.
    Although I don't remember doing something different with the previous USB install, this time it does mention MacBookPro6,2 at the end of the booting process. Attached the screenshot and the zipped Extra folder.

    ps. hey, with flash on, the screenshot is a lot more easy to read :-)

  4. Couldn't find a download for r2468 so I tried the following:
     
    - Chameleon 2.3 r2487
    Also fail but I got an extra addition in the last lines (see screenshot)
     
    - Chameleon_v2.3svn r2437
    Also fail
     
    - Enoch r2839
    Boot doensn't go far. Quickly stops (no reading of extentions?)
     
    In general it still mentions MacbookPro8,1 every time I boot.
    Could that have anything to do that I have put in a hard disk from a macbook in the dell?
    I formatted (OS ext journalled) ofcourse before installing (AHCI check VirtSupp uncheck)

  5. After initial boot, I got a mach_kernel not found so I just typed in /System/Library/Kernels/kernel as a boot arg (hitting tab in Chameleon loader), this allowed me to complete the install.

     

    I have the same problem. Could you explain me more clearly how to do write this in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file? Sorry, I am just following the installing steps but have no deeper knowledge.
