I have a working vanilla system on one disk using munky's bootloader and EFI partition with the few kexts I need.
on my other drive I want to install chameleon. (It had been a kalyway install)
both drives and all partitions etc are GUID
so I've booted into my regular install (using the munky EFI etc) copied the whole vanilla system across to the partition I want to boot from on the other drive (using super duper, which normally works fine), and installed chameleon, standard (non EFI partition) install, copied my kexts into extra and rebooted selecting that hdd in the bios
at first chameleon didn't even boot. I just got half a screen of rubbish characters - I then tried various other things including installing the EFI partition version, and installing manually.
at one point i got the bootloader to start, but it could only see the bootable partitions on the OTHER drive! of course it couldn't actually boot from them since they don't have the chameleon boot file or an extra folder
when i manually removed the part of the install on the EFI partition, and reinstalled the regular version, I got to boot0 starting and saying boot1 error , but boot1 has been manually installed on the correct partition.
here's the message i get:
boot0: GPT
boot0: testing
boot0: done
boot1: error
how do I check if boot1 is installed correctly?
there must be some incompatibility or something that i don't know about... I've looked through this forum, but can't find anything relevant (and the search function seems to only partially work!)
can anyone help? do you have to do something different for GUID/GPT? I don't think my copied system is the problem since chameleon mostly hasn't got that far...
