Hey folks, first of all please excuse my relative noobliness, I spent a long time researching my Hackintosh project, and have enjoyed a relatively decent degree of success. The final hurdle to jump is the bootloader to boot from the HDD - up until now I have been using iBoot, a Chameleon based bootdisk by tonymacx86.com. I am unable to install the Chameleon, and I'm relatively confident that it's because of my RAID configuration.
Ok so now you know where I want to get, let's describe where I'm at. Again, please forgive any missing information, I will gladly post any required config files or logs, read any number of posts or pages necessary - I will gladly put in work to get this working. I have put together a hackintosh project using a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 motherboard, Intel Quad Core Q6600, 8GB DDR2 RAM, and a GeForce GTX 285. The RAID controller is a Highpoint RocketRAID 2680, which is a PCI-Express RAID card, and is supported native by Snow Leopard.
Upon booting my system with the iBoot boot disk, I can see the disk volumes I have configured. I simply set them up in the RocketRAID configuration utility, and Snow Leopard recognises them correctly without any configuration or modification. I can then boot into my primary drive. In fact I've been enjoying OS-X Snow Leopard (10.6.6) for a month or so now.
Where I'm stuck is on the Chameleon install, and this is where I could use the advice. So I want to do an install on my RAID drive. I don't know where to find the information on how to do that, so could someone point me the right way please? Also, if anyone has any experience of getting running with a RAID install, or even with this card in particular, I would be extremely grateful if you would be kind enough to share your knowledge.
I'd be happy to benefit from any thoughts or comments that might help me on my way. I'm generally used to wading into technical info and figuring out the details, but I just really wanted to get the picture from some guys in the know.
All comments welcome, and thank you for your time!
