@HNVJAY,
don't think you're missing something.. think you stumbled on some issue, like i did some time ago. To be sure, we need your partition scheme.
Meanwhile, let me tell to you guys what i stumbled into. So, i've been doing my own mess out of Chameleon (that i hope to share with you guys soon); i needed to test it on MBR scheme, as well as test boot0hfs and also do some remodeling on the HD. At the time i had a setup like this on /dev/disk0:
- win XP (Active, boot), win 7, Ubuntu, Extended(linux swap, hfs+, hfs+)
I went and installed the booter on the first hfs+ partition, using boot0hfs on mbr and was greeted with the blinking cursor...
To cut it shorter, i wiped the HD, created a new partition scheme and did the same procedure:
- ntfs (Active,boot), fat32, fat32, Extended(fat32)
installed win 7 to the ntfs partition, Chameleon on the logical after turning it to hfs+ and there was the blinking cursor again...
So, with linux partitions out of the game i tried boot0 on mbr, marked the partition Active and that gave me "boot error"... i got out of that without being able to load Chameleon installed to Logical partition!
As my intention was to keep only 3 partitions i went on with my life...
Reinstalled boot0hfs to mbr, formatted disk0s3 to hfs+, installed the booter there and marked win 7 active again... bingo, i get boot prompt but zero stuff loaded from the booter partition, no gui, drivers, dsdt and smbios, at least.. can't remember about Boot.plist.
To cut it really short this time, after some more tests i got to the conclusion that it was (is?) reproducible and the cure was formatting the remaining fat32 partition to some other file system (tested hfs & ext4).
No problem with boot0/booter partition Active.
Someone should confirm this stuff, i can't do it right now. This was like a month ago.
The setup on that drive ended up like this:
Disk: /dev/rdisk0 geometry: 38913/255/63 [625142448 sectors]
Signature: 0xAA55
Starting Ending
#: id cyl hd sec - cyl hd sec [ start - size]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*1: 07 0 1 1 - 1023 254 63 [ 63 - 125837082] HPFS/QNX/AUX - win 7
2: 83 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [ 125837145 - 125837145] Linux files* - Ubuntu
3: AF 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [ 251674290 - 373463055] HFS+ - data, Chameleon test install
4: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused
and i can't change it atm; need to finish some tests first. The hfs+ partition has Chameleon installed, boot0hfs on mbr, every thing works fine.. win 7 does sleep/hibernation, booter is loading other themes, whether theme embedded or not.
This kind of setup causes no problems at all.
