PC EFI V10.3
New release 10.3 is now based on Chameleon2 RC3
it includes all features of 10/10.1 (like 64-bit efi pages and etc), also introduces new features, like support for injecting ati radeon 48×0 cards in bootloader, like chameleon2 rc3 does for nvidia, more ati support will come later.
If you have previously used Chameleon 1.0 (also known as CWC2), take note. The CWC2 Service Instance, which was an integral part of the main CWC2 product, has been separated out from the base functionality of Chameleon 1.99/2.0. This package will install Chameleon 2 RC4 r684 to your OS X partition. It provides full Snow Leopard support. It loads 64-bit kernel and extensions by default. Osx86 install: Chameleon 2.0 install guide Chameleon: Chameleon 2.0-RC4 is out! Chameleon: Bring Mac OS X Developers Together. Re-install Chameleon 2 RC3 to the Internal Disk 4. Double check in the Extra’s folder that it still contains the Kexts 5. Install the modified boot loader file to correct the Resolution: 1. Back up your original boot loader file by firing up Terminal and typing the following command: “sudo mv /boot /boot.orig” 2.
Video and ethernet devices now listed in PCI Cards section of system profiler.(if graphicsenabler/ethernetbuiltin used)
Fixed few bugs in rc3 code.
Now about inbooter injector.
Chameleon2 RC3 supported only pciroot = 0, many new motherboards have pciroot=1.
Now pciroot=1 used by default, if you want pciroot to be 0 – use -pci0 boot option.
To find you pciroot value, use this osx terminal command:
ioreg -l | grep -15 “AppleACPIPCI ” | grep UID
To activate video/ethernet injector just use same options in boot.plist that used in Chameleon RC2+ and remove device properties key, options is :
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>
ATI injecctor designed for snow leopard, dont use it in leopard(binimage isn’t injected) with 4830/4850(you will get screen flickerings)
Chameleon 2 Rc3 Installer Free
Installation – if you dont have chameleon2 installed yet – get rc1/rc2 install pkg and use leopard to install bootloader, then replace boot file in root of boot partition with this one – booter10.1
